James Allen "Jim" Mikesell - 4 November 1927, Sam, Teton County, Idaho - 23 November 1992, Tualatin, Washington County, Oregon.James (Jim) Allen Mikesell was the son of Jefferson Osborn "Jeff" Mikesell and Florence Vivien (Allen) Mikesell, born in Sam, Idaho, November 4, 1927 and died on November 23, 1992 in Tualatin, Oregon. Sam was a small mining village located in the Teton Mountains.
He grew up in southern Idaho, and moved to Mt. Kit Carson, near Spokane, Washington when he was around 12. While living there, the previously Mormon family was acquainted with the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and Jim was baptized on April 14, 1940.
Jim had suffered from rheumatic fever as a child, but dropped out of school at age 16, and joined the Merchant Marines. He complained that he could not swim, and was seasick the entire time he served. He was a cook's helper, and seemed to spend most of his time peeling potatoes and upchucking over the side of the ship. He enlisted in the US Army at age 18 in December of 1945, and served in Europe as a mechanic, rifleman, and light tank driver, receiving an Army of Occupation Medal, and a World War II Victory Medal, until his honorable discharge as a corporal on September 27, 1948.
He returned to the Pacific Northwest, earned his GED at Lewis and Clark High School in December 1948, and went to college at Oregon State College in Corvallis studying agriculture, near where his older brother, Ernie lived.
After a couple years, his GI bill stopped and he returned to Spokane, where he met the love of his life, Wilma LeNeya Martinson Wahl and married her on the 30th of May 1952 in Spokane, Spokane County, Washington. Jim and Wilma and her little boy, Michael Wahl, welcomed a baby girl, Jaime Lee Mikesell in 1952.
Jim retired from Northwest Bell Telephone Company with 27 years service in the plant and construction, and eventually as a manager. Because of his job, he and Wilma lived in many different towns. After retirement he enjoyed tinkering around the house, traveling, fishing, and playing with his grandchildren and his small poodle dog. He was a very kind, considerate family man. Jim was a deacon in the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and enjoyed teaching an adult class in Sunday School.
Surviving him were his wife, Wilma, his daughter Jaime, step-son, Mike, grandchildren Kevin and Colin Wahl, Jared and Rachel Musgrove, and four sisters, Betty Erlandson, Della Binder, Thelma Winters and Leslie Wood. He was preceded in death by his parents, and his brother, Ernest Mikesell.
Addendum, a great granddaughter, LeNeya Rae Musgrove (daughter of Jared) was born after his death in 2005. Written October 17, 2011 by Jaime Mikesell Musgrove, Visit Jim's findagrave.com Memorial Page. See photo album.
