    Notes:

    Lester was born Jesse and Cora Youngs in the Town of Fenton, New York. His mother Cora was extremely angry when she found out that she was pregnant with Lester. When he was born he weighed only three and one-half pounds so Cora set him aside not knowing if he would live or die. His half sister, Mildred placed him in the warmth of the unlit oven which acted as an incubator. Lester's brother Lawrence, who was two years older, was jealous of him and pulled mean tricks on him. One day he had Lester put his thumb in a piece of machinery and then cut it off. They carried Lester and the thumb to the doctor who sewed it back on again but did not get it on quite straight. From that time on he always had a crooked thumb. Lester was a good student who excelled in math. Upon graduation from Binghamton Central High School he went to work for the International Time Recorder which later became International Business Machines or IBM. This was during the depression and IBM was not hiring. He was persistent and everyday he would sit in the human resource office. His persistance paid off as they hired him and put him to work as a drill press operator on the night shift. He took as many courses as possible and he worked his way through the company to the level of engineer.

    Notes:

    The 1900 federal census shows that Jesse was living with his mother and siblings on Lincoln Street, Port Dickenson Village, NY., now a part of Binghamton, NY. It also shows that he was a widower.

    Jesse Youngs and Cora Bacon grew up next door to each other. They were childhood sweethearts, but eventually broke their relationship off. After both the their spouses died, Cora moved back home to live with her parents as did Jesse. Their love for each other was rekindled and they married in Port Dickenson, New York by Rev. J.W. Shipmann.

    Cora and Jesse moved into a home on Liberty Street in Binghamton, NY. Cora had one son, Lynn from her previous marriage and Jesse had a daughter, Mildred. One day the neighbors paid a visit to welcome the new family to the neighborhood. Cora and Jesse were still getting dressed so Mildred answered the door. She and Lynn entertained the neighbors who were asking questions about the family. One neighbor asked Mildred her age to which she responded, "six." Then they asked Lynn his age to which he responded, "six." The neighbor responded with, Oh, you must be twins!" "No," Mildred responded, "he's ma's and I'm pa's." The neighbors were quite perplexed.

    Jesse was a motorman and drove an electric trolley between Hillcrest and Union, NY. In later years he was a paper hanger. In his early years he had a farm in Aquaga, NY. Jesse died at the Binghamton City Hospital, NY.
