Temple was born on December 28, 1921 in Duluth. He
was raised in the Roseau area by his grandparents
where he spent his childhood and young adulthood
working on the farm. In 1944, he married Marie
Anderson in northern Minnesota. Soon after, the
family relocated to North Dakota where Jim worked
in the oil fields near Tioga, N.D. In 1959, the
family moved to Washington where Jim found work as
a heavy equipment operator. These jobs moved him to
far away places such as the Great Alaska Pipeline,
Greenland and the Hoover Dam. Later in life, Jim
moved back to northern Minnesota, including Big
Falls, Bagley and Red Lake Falls where he logged
and bought and sold automobiles.

friends. He also enjoyed telling the stories of his
many adventures and travels.
