Description
Photograph of Walter Nathaniel Jett as a young man.
Walter was born in Fort Valley to William Clarence and Lucy (Ritenour) Jett. He married Beulah Esta Huffman, also from Fort Valley, in 1923, and they had 8 children together.
Walter was working for the Capola Mountain Mines in Star Tannery, VA when he was severely injured by a belt that broke lose and snapped him across the legs. After he recovered he had to walk with the aid of a cane. This was a terrible hit to this large family during the depression.
The family lived in Fort Valley until at least the 1940's. When Walter died, his occupation was "retired farmer". He and his wife lived on N. Church Street in Woodstock by then.
