Tim Day

Tim was born Elden Louis Day on May 21, 1916 in Oroville, Butte County, California. The story as I heard it was he got the name ‘Tim’ from a cartoon character, but someone else will have to fill in the details. By 1920 he was in Oakland as a 4-year old living with his mother and brother Clifford in a rooming house on Jefferson Street. By the mid-1930’s he was in Virginia City, Nevada. In 1950 he married Jeannette Fae Edwards. In 1974, he and Jeannette moved to the Ukiah Valley. He passed away Oct 25, 2012 in Redwood Valley, Mendocino County, California.
