Loren P. Ireton was born in Kansas City in 1911. He was a professional pianist of some talent by his early 20s. He was part of a traveling orchestra for most of his adult life, though Kansas City was his home base, where his family stayed. Music was almost literally in his blood, as musicality was exhibited by a cousin of his as well as some of his descendants.
Married, a father, and divorced by the time he was 22, he married Haily Bird, who brought a daughter of her own into the marriage, about 1934. They both lost their children to disease early on, but they had three sons between 1936 and 1942.
Alcoholism and the stress of travel on the road damaged his health and stamina, and he returned to his home town just before the war. It silenced the music and ended his life in 1947.
