(Author's note: In grade school, I picked up the nickname Jake because I looked like a character on the comic page of a local newspaper. Rather than use the first person singular, further references to me will simply be "Jake.") Jake was born on November 14, 1929 to Albert and Elma Henby Ferris on a family farm adjacent on the south to the small town of Milton, IN, which is on the southwest corner of Wayne County. Wayne County borders OH about half way between Indianapolis, IN, and Dayton, OH. With Richmond as the seat of the county government, Wayne County was a center of a Quaker community. Quakers established Earlham College in Richmond in 1847. The home environment was very warm and comforting while Jake was a baby and into his first decade with Ferris grandparents next door. Jake's great-grandfather William Ferris built the house in 1865 where Jake was born and raised as well as his sister Helen, six years older and brother Merrill, seven years younger. Jake's grandfather Charles built the house next door to the north probably with the assistance of his father William. To the north of Charles's home was a home occupied by Jake's great-great-grandfather Joseph until he died at age 91 in 1902. When it was built is not known.
