Paul , Sr. & Lucille'S EARLY MARRIAGE LIFE:
1st. daughter PATRICIA ANN was born Oct. 1938, at the Hospital, the next year in Oct. 1939 and BARBARA was born at home on 3021 Bellefountaine Ave. Paul R. SARRETT , Sr. was working with the "DeVASHER BROTHERS" Floor Sanding business, their were three brothers in the business; ERNIE, VERNAN and SLEEPY DeVASHER. That same year (1939) EARNEST "ERNIE" DeVASHER married Paul R. SARRETT , Sr. sister MARY ANN SARRETT and they all lived in the original "SMITHS PLACE" on Bellfontaine. The mother MARY C. (SMITH) SARRETT, Paul R. , Sr. & Lucille (WILSON) SARRETT with their two small babies PAT and BARBARA. Later that year (1939) Paul , Sr. & Lucille SARRETT with the two babies PAT & BARBARA removed to a larger home at 23rd and Jackson Ave. in Kansas City.

My parents and two sisters lived only a short time at the 4213 East 23rd. & Jackson Ave. home, this was where PaulA SUE SARRETT was born on Thur. 7th of November 1940, (Nov. 02nd. Based on C.O.D.) she never left the "K.C. General Hospital, No. 1", she died 26 days later on 28 Nov. 1940 of what Dr. DEWEY R. THRONE described as PURLENT HYDROCEPHALUS normally called "Water on the Brain". PaulA SUE SARRETT was buried on 30th Nov. 1940, in the Mount Washington Cemetery, located on Truman Road and Blueridge Blvd. She is located on the same Lot of her Grandmother MARY C. (SMITH) SARRETT and Grandfather HUGH E. SARRETT (Lot So. 1/2 of #170). By the summer of 1941 they removed again to a small house located at 2802 Wenzel Ave. Kansas City.

  2802 Wenzel Ave, K.C., MO. Dec. 7, 1941
Click on Thumbnail for Larger Photo! Paul R. SARRETT, Sr. (Social Security Registered Number 492-14- 4062) was working with his now Brother-in-law ERNIE DeVASHER and their Floor Sanding business, for some 5 years. Paul R. SARRETT JR. was born on Thur. evening in the home [Rented] on 2802 Wenzel Ave. Kansas City, Mo. 2 days after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor on the 7th of December 1941.
With a family of three small babies Paul R. SARRETT, Sr. was "4-F" and not allowed to enter the World War II (WWII) active service, so he went to work at the North American "BENDIX" plant located in the Fairfax area of Kansas city, some time around 1942. My mother stated:
"He (Dad) got an award and an "Certificate" for a suggestion he made in the improving the defense assembly line."
No record has been found of that certificate..prs) "He was disappointed that he could not go into the service during WWII but they needed him at the defense plant."

The reason is not known for why he applied for but, I have a record of an "Delayed or Special" Certificate of Birth which Paul R. SARRETT , Sr. applied for on 27th June 1943, that he listed as "School Record - Public Schools, Kansas City, Mo. School Document Dated 16th Jan. 1931". This can be assumed that he at least completed the 6th grade, he would have been 13 years old. The Grade-School closest to the "SMITHS" Bellefountaine Ave. home would have been located on Benton and 30th. name unknown.

The SARRETT , Sr. family moved again by late 1943 next door to a bigger house at 2804 Wenzel Ave. where on Monday 15th of November 1943 the 5th child and second son ERMAL HUGH SARRETT was born. ERMAL was named after both his Grand-fathers, ERMAL L. WILSON and HUGH E. SARRETT. The last child JANET LEE SARRETT was born at the Hospital on Sunday afternoon of the 4th of February 1945. This was the end of WWII and the War effort at North America was shutdown, so Paul R. SARRETT , Sr. went to work for "Standard Plating Works" located at 15th and Eastern Ave. Kansas City.

MRS. Paul SARRETT Milton Moore "Mother of The Year" would be an apt description of the subject for this month's Community Leader. In a neighborhood which is blessed with a wealth of good mothers who also have time to be good citizens, Lucille SARRETT stands out. No one of our neighborhood in this capacity has given so unselfishly of herself for the welfare of other people's kids while still having time to be a good wife and mother in her own family.
Mrs. SARRETT was born in Page County, Iowa in the town of Shambaugh. She met and married Paul SARRETT there and immediately moved to Kansas City where the couple made their home at 3021 Bellfontaine, moving into their present home at 3318 Kensington about 9 years ago (1944). Mr. SARRETT is an electroplater and is presently employed by the Standard Plating Works. During their 16 years of marriage, the SARRETTS have been blessed with 5 children,

Click on Redball for More Info. Janet, age 8yrs, pupils at Milton Moore.
Lucille has been active in PTA at Milton Moore while seeing her children through school, and presently is "Arts Appreciation Chairman". In this capacity she sees that those children enrolled are chaperoned to the plays offered at the University Playhouse.
She has been a Den Mother in the Cub Pack for several years and at this time has a Den of 8 Cubs meeting in her home each week. She has the longest record of service to Cub Scouting of any adult now enrolled in this work.
Girls, too, get her attention. She is a Blue Bird leader giving proper leadership to a group of 14 girls. With all this activity, Mrs. SARRETT keeps a good home, watches Television as you and I, and has no maid. Yet she always finds time to lend a helping hand to any good neighborhood project.

WHEN GOD CREATED FATHERS, HE NEW THAT SHOULDERS SHOULD BE BROAD, HANDS BIG
When the good Lord was creating fathers, he started with a tall frame. And a female angel nearby said, "What kind of father is that?" "If you're going to make children so close to the ground, why have fathers up so high?" "He won't be able to shoot marbles without kneeling, tuck a child in bed without bending, or even kiss a child without a lot of stooping?" And God smiled and said, "Yes, but if I make him childsize, who would children have to look up to?"
And when God made the father's hands, they were large and sinewy. And the angel shook her head sadly and said, "Do you know what you're doing? Large hands are clumsy. They can't manage diaper pins, small buttons, rubber bands on pony tails or even remove splinters caused by baseball bats."
And God smiled and said, I know, but they are large enough to hold everything a small boy empties from his pockets at the end of a day-yet small enough to cup a child's face in his hands."
Then God molded long, slim legs and broad shoulders. The angel nearly had a heart attack. "Boy, this is the end of the week, alright," she chuckled. "Do you realize you just made the father without a lap? How is he going to pull a child close to him without the child falling between his legs?"
And God smiled and said, "A mother needs a lap. A father needs strong shoulders to pull a sled, balance a child on a bicycle, or hold a sleepy head on the way home from the circus.
God was in the middle of creating two of the largest feet anyone had ever seen when the angel could contain herself no longer. "That's not fair. Do you honestly think those large boats are going to dig out of bed early in the morning when the baby cries? Or walk through a small birthday party without crushing at least three of the guests?"
And God smiled and said, "They'll work. You'll see. They'll support a small child who wants to ride a horse to Banbury Cross, or scare off mice at the summer cabin, or display shoes that will be a challenge to fill."
God worked throughout the night, giving the father few words, but a firm, authoritative voice, eyes that saw everything, but remained calm and tolerant.
Finally, almost as an afterthought, God add tears to the father. Then he turned to the angel and said, "Now are you satisfied that he can love as much as a mother?"
The angel shutteth up.

  Paul R. SARRATT, Sr. died in a the hotel elevator and was found two hours after the fire started. Mrs. Dorothy Bowen, housekeeper at the hotel, said she was in the lobby with Paul , Sr. when they saw smoke coming from the basement. "It was around 3:30 o'clock," she said. "He and I went into the basement to check what was going on. Paul , Sr. was in front of me." She said when they entered the basement they saw thick smoke. Mrs. Bowen said Paul , Sr. pushed her out of the side entrance and re-entered the basement alone.

Fire officials said Mr. SARRETT must have tried to escape through the elevator but failed. At one point firemen gave up hope of finding Mr. SARRETT. They had searched the area thoroughly. Then one of the firemen shouted, "Here he is here in the elevator." = The 49 residents of the 7-story hotel, most of them in their 60s and 70s, were evacuated before the fire spread. The fire which started about 3:30 o'clock in the afternoon, in the basement, spread quickly around the north section of the building where most of the residents lived. Firemen used three trucks and seven pumpers to put out the fire.

A resident in the basement of the hotel, Mrs. Wanda Mendenhall, said she was in the kitchen and her three children were watching television. "I saw smoke all around me and the kids started screaming. We couldn't get out the front door and we tried to break open the windows," she said. A 13 year-old girl, Cindy Weddington, who lives at 920 East Twenty-seventh street, said she was passing and saw the children crying to get out the window. "This girl (pointing to Cindy) pulled out my 5-year-old girl and the 10-year-old boy through the window and later helped me out," Mrs. Mendenhall said. The 16 yr. old daughter of the manager of the Hotel, Mrs. Barbara Darck, said, "I saw what was going on at the window and I rushed to bring the other children out. This boy (pointing to the 11-year-old son of Mrs. Mendenhall insisted that he wanted to go in to bring his shoes back. I waited for him and then pulled him out. Cindy Weddington is a student at Westport high school.

The cause of the fire and estimated damage have not been determined. Smoke damage was extensive throughout the basement where furniture and other belongings of the residents had been stored. Two apartments in the first floor also were affected by smoke. Paul R. SARRETT , Sr. was a lifelong area resident. Surviving are his wife Mrs. Margaret Sarrett; a step-daughter Mrs. Leslie Strum, and a granddaughter.

MOTHER'S PRAYER
Make me a wise mother, O Lord. Keep me calm and give me patience to bear the small, irritating things in the daily routine of life. Give me tolerance and understanding to bridge the gulf between my generation and that of my children.
Let me not be too ready to guide my children's stumbling fee, but allow me to be ever near to bind their bruises. Give me a sense of humor that I may laugh with them but never at them.
Let me refrain from preaching with words. Keep me from forcing their confidences, but give me a sympathetic ear when my children come to me.
Help me teach them that life must be replete with victories. Make me humble.
Keep my children close to me, O Lord, though miles may separate us. And let Thy light so shine upon me that they, too, will perceive Thy glory.
Amen.

God could not be everywhere so he made mothers.
I WILL BE TRUE
There are those who trust me and pattern their lives from mine.
I WILL BE REVERENT
"Thou shalt have no other gods before me." Practice this in thought, word, deed.
I WILL BE PURE
"Blessed are the pure in heart. I shall so order my thoughts and acts.
I WILL BE TOLERANT
Show consideration to under privileged, segregated, and afflicted persons.
I WILL BE COURAGEOUS
Never condoning evils which I can help correct.
I WILL BE LOYAL
To church, family and community. Always trying to put "first" things FIRST.
I WILL BE HONEST
Never take unfair advantage when opportunity permits.
I WILL BE FAITHFUL
Fulfill to the best of my ability each promise I make.
I WILL BE FORGIVING
Family ties cemented by prayers are life buoys. Mercy is twice bless.

NOBODY KNOWS but MOTHER
How many buttons are missing today?
How many toys are left in her way?
How many thimbles and spools has she missed?
How many burns on each little fist?
How many bumps to be cuddled and kissed?
Nobody Knows But MOTHER.
THANK YOU MOTHER
For all your loving care,
For every anxious prayer,
For every precious look,
For every step you took,
For every waiting night,
For every kindly light,
For tact and awkward ways,
For love on trying days,
Today and now and here,
We thank you, Mother dear.

WHICH LOVED HER BEST
"I LOVE YOU, MOTHER," said little John; Then, forgetting his work, his cap went on, And he was off to the garden swing, Leaving his mother the wood to bring.
"I LOVE YOU, MOTHER," said rosy Nell; "I love you better than tongue can tell"; Then she teased and pouted full half the day, Till her mother rejoiced when she went out to play.
"I LOVE YOU, MOTHER," said little Fan; "To-day I'll help you all I can"; How glad I am that school doesn't keep, So she rocked the baby tell it fell asleep.
Then, stepping softly, she took the broom, And swept the floor, and dusted the room. Busy and happy all day was she,
Helpful and cheerful as a child could be. "I LOVE YOU, MOTHER," again they said, Three little children going to bed. How do you think that mother guesses, Which of them really loved her best?
