Updated Smelser Biographies
Dad was a very young man when he passed away. He had a large family which consisted of Juanita F. (deceased), Walter L.(deceased) Ruth M. (deceased), Helen (deceased), Jack J. (deceased), Dorothy J. (deceased) Joseph Robert aka Bob (living) Herbert S. (deceased) and Wayne E (deceased). His parents were Leon Roe Smelser 1899-1975 and Georgia Katherine Reedy 1901-1999.
Dad married Louise Marie in November 1950 and from this union came Kathleen Louise (1952) and Terry Lee Smelser (1953). They later divorced in 1959 and Dad married Bettie Lou March of 1962 in The Dalles, Oregon.
Dad loved to paint and that was his occupation, he also loved heights. While painting the bridge that crosses from Arlington Oregon to Washington, Dad slipped between the (non-secured) boards on his scaffolding and fell to his death June 19, 1962. He had just turned 35 years old. His youngest brother Wayne was painting at the end of the bridge and saw the dad fall into the Columbia River. The current is very strong, and his body was found a week later.
I remember Dad as being a man of faith with a good-sized temper! He was never mean, but you didn't want to cross him!
Prior to his bridge painting job, dad was one of the painters hired to paint the top of the Space Needle at the Seattle world's fair.

Ernest Elmer Smelser was a U.S. Army Ranger fighting in the Battle of Saipan in WWII. He was killed in action. I'm interested in all information regarding the Smelser family and in particular seeking information on their service in the U.S. Military.
