Shared note

Guy Myron Hettema was born 11 December 1882 in Passaic, New Jersey, and died 26 April 1969 in Briarcliff, NY. Edith Hettema said that Guy left school after 4th grade though his sisters and brothers begged him not to. He tended cows and then worked in cotton and rubber mills. At 14 he apprenticed to a carpenter. His older brother Harry had taught him the basics of the trade. Guy and his younger brother Neil had a business together for a while, but Neil left to go into the chicken business.
