1. Ray lived in Canada
1. This group of Jareds were hatchery pioneers....they started one of the first commercial hatcheries in Illinois. Ladies first, they say, and in the case of the Double-R it was ladies first for Mrs. Jared started selling chicks in Marcy 1918. Later R. V. left his Holsteins and straight corn rows to devote his full time to the production of Double Quality chicks.
2. Ray & Grace celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary 28 Jun 1960.
1. Roy was TWIN to Ray who were born in a two-roomed log cabin, with overhead loft, on Painters Creek, near Yale, Illinois.
2. They were red headed with blue eyes and were as much alike as two peas in a pod...even Ellen was hard put to tell them apart until she resourcefully tied a string around one small wrist. Years did not change their close resemblance and it caused confusin amoung teachers, reelatives, and friends. Their personalitie wer alike too, only Roy became the most aggressive.
The twins were fiercely devoted to each other. There was no jealousy or rivalry, for there was room for none, for they were so much alike mentally and physically neither could excel the other. Then too, they had such a perfect understanding and loyalty they never quarreled or disagreed.
There was a beauty in their relationship---yet a handicap too, because in a large measure they missed the stimulation of opposing minds. As young men they were always together. They were the fastest broom corn cutters in Doublas County and later shared the same honor in corn husking. At first they rented a farm and farmed together, but after their respective marriages, they rented separate farms, both were owned by the same landlord.
At times there seemed something almost psychic between them. Once although neither had mentioned it to the other, they both departed from their usual pattrn of letting heir wives pick the household furnishing and eazch purchased a wool ungrain carpet for their home. One traded at Arcola, the other in Champaign, Illinois. There were many patterns, but the twins picked identical carpets. Then during the same period they purchased identical combination bookcase and writing desks. All this with absolutely no contact with each other.
In 1925 Grace Heminger, wife of Ray C. Jared started a baby chick hatchery near Olney, Illinois. Two years later Roy moved to Robinson and both twins joined in the project. It was named the Double-R Hatcheries. A few years later Roy moved to his own hatchery and called it "Jared Hatchery". The Double-R Hatchery passed to the management of Ray and Grace Jared's children. It was still flourishing and the oldest hatcher in Illinois in the early 1960s.
3. On a beautiful Fall day 16 Oct 1947 Roy was killed in an automibile accident while on his way to go hickory nutting with Ray. It was probably the only date they made with each other that was ever broken.
