When Elberta Milbourn Paris and her husband Harold Paris departed Hastings, Nebraska to head West, they left Jerry Paris with a friend. When they returned to bring Jerry, there was resistance from the family who had accepted care of him while the Paris family was settling in California. As a result Jerry Paris was left in Nebraska and to my knowledge had very little, if no contact with his biological family. They, of course, deeply regretted leaving the child behind.
Jerry was the second child of eight children.
