Uncle Melvin Roy Hurst was born May 21 1912 to Rufus Marion Hurst and Nettie May Dickins Hurst in Wasco Co, Oregon.

While in Boot Camp training for World War II, he jumped into a fox hole to avoid a tank coming at him as part of the program and the tank ran over his ankle and crippled him for life. He was confined to a wheel chair, but this did not stop him from becoming a very good electrician from his wheel chair. Looking at his grave photo I see they spelled his name wrong on his Birth Certificate. It reads Melvin Ray Hurst. He had a very loving and Caring Wife in Barbara Daniels-Hurst whom he always called Babe. I miss you both very much .. Patrick
