found: The Auk, vol. 73, no. 4 (Oct. 1956):p. 513 (Stanley Gordon Jewett T was born in Fredericton, New Brunswick, on February 15, 1885, and moved with his family to California in 1895 where he attended school at Berkeley, Alameda, and near Healdsburg. After his father's death in 1897, the family returned to New Brunswick, where he finished grammar school and attended business college at Fredericton. In 1902, he went to Portland, Oregon, and spent a year at the Bartlett Ranch on Government Island, a farm which is now in a state wildlife management area. He went briefly back to New Brunswick, but returned in 1904, and from that time until his death on October 12, 1955, he was a resident of Oregon. ... During the interval between 1904 and 1910, he worked at various jobs around Oregon, but, whatever he was doing, he never lost interest in the out-of-doors and particularly in the birds and mammals. ... In 1910, he was given a temporary appointment in the Biological Survey. ... After 1916, he was continuously employed by the Biological Survey and the Fish and Wildlife Service in various capacities until his retirement in November of 1949.)
