Jess Belmont LeBow  (1903-1971)   

8th GENERATION - B:  Jess Belmont LeBow was born 1 September 1903 in Nixa, Christian Co., Missouri.  He was the 12th child of Joel Freeman Lebow & Isadora Melacina Elam                

Notes from Jess Belmont LeBow Jr. on 28 January 1999 on his dad:  "Dad worked in a steel mill in Elyria, Ohio.  His first wife was Mae Cox.  I think they met and married in or around Caney, Kansas, and then moved to Ohio.  Their children were John & Juanita, although I've never met them and do not know where they are. 

      Second wife was Delores Friend, my mom, deceased, and third wife, Judy (don't know her maiden name). 

      Dad moved back to Aurora, Missouri, where he and Judy lived for many years.  My first visit to their house was in 1958.  In the late 60's they sold their house in Aurora and bought one in Bluemound, Lynn Co, Kansas.  I visited them there many times.  It was their retirement home although Dad was doing a lot of painting and interior decorating in that area.  They moved there to be near Dan & Edith (Lebow, Uncle Emmitt's daughter) Simpson.  Dad & Dan used to love fishing together on the little reseervoir just outside of Blue Mound       

      Jess and Judy are resting in Sunnyslope Cemetery, Blue Mount, Kansas."
