Jesse was enumerated in the 1900 Pike County federal census as a single man who is a log sawyer living as a boarder in the house of Mack Raybon. A log sawyer is someone who saws logs for a sawmill. The Fernwood Lumber Company was the largest logging company at that time. In the census, his birthday is recorded as May, 1866 but his age is listed as 34 which should be 24.
