Description

Photograph of Hattie Rebecca (Miller) Foltz posed on the arm of a chair next to her husband, Kirby Lee Foltz.

Hattie R. (Miller) Foltz was the daughter of Milton and Rebecca Miller, from Jerome. She completed the 7th grade and married Kirby in April 1924, in Orkney Springs.

Kirby Lee Foltz was also from Jerome, the son of Thomas Franklin Foltz (1876-1966) and Elizabeth (Bowers) Foltz (1874-1954). He had many siblings growing up.

The couple farmed for many years and had no children. When Kirby registered for the WWII draft in 1942, he was over 40 years old and reported he had no phone. He was described as being 5’11” tall and 155 pounds.

By 1950, Kirby had taken a job as a laborer with the State Highway Department. Years later, when he retired, he was a foreman. Both Kirby and Hattie are buried together in Jerome.
