    Notes 
    • Ira was quite active on his father's farm with the stock and machinery
      and cars. He had a black horse named Parker. In 1919, he had his own truck for
      hauling produce. He helped install the first telephone poles about 1921. He
      became restless and in 1923 moved to Phoenix, Arizona, with his uncle Will and
      Aunt Pearl Hafford. He was not satisfied there, so he moved to Kansas City,
      Missouri, to attend Sweeny Automotive School. He became an automotive mechanic
      and supervisor. Ira and Elizabeth went to Hawaii for their 40th anniversary.
