Jim Frank Ireton

Jim Frank Ireton was the third of seven sons born to Frank Austin and Eda Ireton. He was born born August 4,1893 at Burlington, Coffey County, Kansas. He served during WWI and received an honorable discharge from the U.S. Army in 1919 (Company "C" 168th Infantry).  In 1969 Jim's address was Route 1, Box 197, Corona, California. Jim died in La Habra, CA in 1971. Jim had three sons, Jim Jr., Norman Wiley, and Vernon, all of which have passed away.

Jim Jr. had two sons, Jim Frank Ireton III and Jerry.  Jim Frank Ireton III lives in Solvang, CA.

I don't know much about Vernon yet, but he was married to Melba Ireton of Conway, MO.

Norman Wiley and his wife Marilyn JoAnn (Williams) Ireton, died in the plane accident in San Francisco, February 13, 1965.  The couple had three sons; Norman Wayne, Phillip Layne, and Michael Payne.  Norman Wiley also had a son, Norman Earl, from a previous marriage.  Norman Wayne Ireton is married, and lives in Sheridan CA, he has no children.  Phillip Layne Ireton has one son, Phillip Shayne Ireton, and they both live in the San Jose CA area.  Michael Payne Ireton has 3 children, Janelle Marie, James Wiley, and Jeffrey William.  They live in Wisconsin.  Mike was born February 1964, and his parents died 2 weeks before his first birthday. Mike and his brothers were raised by their maternal grandparents, Orrin & Evelyn Williams, San Jose California (both grandparents are now deceased).

I believe Norman Earl Ireton lives in Stockton, CA but I have been unable to find his phone number or email address.  If you have any clues, please email me.
