Biography
Jesse Marion Mead is identified as a son of Miner Clark Mead and Rose Ann Ginther. His portrait appears on PDF page 1 of The Clarks. The family account gives his birth as July 8, 1873, in Oto, Iowa.
It describes a railroad career beginning as a teenager in Nebraska, followed by work in Montana and Wyoming after 1916. The account says he retired in spring 1939 while an agent in Upton, Wyoming, and later bought a home in Snyder.
He married Elizabeth Marie Meyer in Fremont on September 2, 1896. The entry records his death in Snyder on April 19, 1941, and burial in Beemer, Nebraska.
