Jesse C. Gathright
Jesse C. Gathright, age 83, of Springfield, passed away October 2, 2007, in St. John's Regional Health Care Center. He was born October 16, 1923, to Rosa May (Kanouse) and David Elmer Gathright in Foss, Oklahoma. He was a carpenter for many years and in later years was an employee at Baptist Bible College where he worked as a carpenter and a bus driver. He was a faithful member of the Baptist Temple. Preceding Mr. Gathright in death were his parents; his wife, Pauline and an infant son in 1960. A daughter, Lorie Ann, also preceded him in death as well as a sister, Audrey Wilson. Survivors include his daughter Sherry Logan of California; his son Dan Gathright of Springfield; a sister, Ila Harralson [sic]; two brothers, David Gathright and Glen Gathright; four grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. A visitation will be held Thursday evening from 6 to 8 p.m. in the Klingner-Cope Family Funeral Home at Rivermonte, 4500 S. Lone Pine, Springfield. Funeral services will be held Friday, October 5 at 10 a.m. in the funeral home chapel. Interment will follow in White Chapel Memorial Gardens, Springfield.
His middle name Calvin is from Calvin Coolidge, who was president at the time Jesse was born. Supposedly, there is some family ralationship to Calvin Coolidge, but I do not know if that is true, or what the relationship is supposed to be.
