Parthenia Carter

Notes:

The book, SABINE COUNTY HISTORICAL SKETCHES AND GENEALOGICAL RECORDS, shows her as a daughter of "Wm. and Mary Carter, and believed to a desc. of Isaac Carter, Rev. soldier (sic)."

Wm. and Mary Carter were (1) dead prior to 1850, before the date of birth of Parthenia and (2) even if still alive, much too old. Perhaps Parthenia was a granddaughter, a daughter of their son Redmond? Or of son William and his wife Louisa Simmons?

Bio written and posted by Ronald Barlow, on his Farm Road 1 - From one end to the other facebook group:

There'll never be another George Jacks.

George was one of the smartest and most reliable men I've ever worked with.

It didn't take me long to figure out that if I had a mechanical problem that I couldn't solve, whether it be on a car or truck, or a tractor, or a hay baler, just ask George to look at it.

George was not much of a team player.
He flew solo most of the time.

His mind was too focused and worked too fast to be patient enough to tolerate the foolishness of us who lacked the ability to focus only on the task at hand to see it through to completion with no distractions.

I believe that if George had survived long enough to have been under a car hood at the time of the Rapture, that he would have asked Jesus for a few more minutes to finish torqueing some bolts.

Me and George worked well together.

If something mechanical or electronic didn't do what it was designed to do, I'd tell George what I had seen or heard or felt or smelt right before something quit working, and then take maybe a few more seconds to tell him what I had ruled out as the culprit.

...and then I backed out of the way and waited on this genius to ask me for assistance...which wasn't very often.

George didn't like anybody hovering over his shoulder.

Nor, did he like taking directions from people that liked barking orders.

Tell him what you knew about the problem, then back off and let him at it.

A couple of years ago, my old Dodge pickup wouldn't crank in the high school parking lot at Pineland.It was late at night, and as usual, I was the last one leaving, because I had stood around talking too long after the meeting was over.

My battery was strong and the engine turned over just fine, and after a quick check under the hood, I ascertained that the spark plugs were firing.

There was a quarter-tank of gas in the tank...and I hadn't noticed anything unusual pulling in earlier that evening.

I called George.

Other than the time it took him to get out of his recliner, put on his overalls and his shoes, and drive the two or three miles to Pineland, he had me headed home within two or three minutes after his arrival...with a hammer tap to the bottom of the fuel pump, which was inside the gas tank, underneath the pickup bed.

A call to almost anybody other than George would have eventually involved a chain or a tow truck, lifting the bed off the truck frame, replacing the fuel pump, many hours of labor, a big bill, and me being afoot for at least a full day.

I gave George a $20 bill and we were both back in our recliners within ten or fifteen minutes.

George was hard-headed. He wouldn't waste time doing something useless just because someone else thought they knew more than him.

George didn't waste words.
When he spoke, I listened.
I knew that he wasn't going to say it twice, and it was well thought out before he said it.

It didn't matter what we were working on, George was the master and I was the assistant.
I might be the boss of the fifty other people working around us, but I was just the apprentice handing tools, or turning keys, or pushing clutches or running for parts for George.

It worked much better that way.

I know other folks that couldn't work with George.
Some called him "contrary" or "ornery."
Most never learned to leave the chit-chat or b.s. aside until the work was done.

Others besides me that knew the value of having a "George" around, included Frank Shaver, Welden Elliott and Don Tate. George helped us get to where we got.

I called him often.
?and always got the right answer.

I'll be lost for a time without George.
I know plenty of good mechanics, but none like George.
I miss you already, George. I hope the Good Lord's got a set of tools waiting for you.

Aubra George Jacks, 65, of Pineland, Texas passed away Tuesday, January 22, 2019 at his residence.

George was born December 23, 1953 in Pineland, Texas to Marvin Edward Jacks and Elease Tatom Jacks.

He was a lifetime resident of Sabine County and a graduate of West Sabine High School.
He was a Master Mechanic for West Sabine ISD.

George had also been a member of the Pineland Volunteer Fire Department for several years and had also been a member of the Bronson VFD and the FFA.

George enjoyed spending time with his family and their trips to Disney World. He also enjoyed reading and studying science, math, and history.

George is survived by his mother, Elease Tatom Barrow; son, Justin Chandler and wife, Audrey, of Leesvile, Louisiana (formerly of Fairmount); daughter, Breanne Jacks and fiance', Robbie Schauer, of Justin, Texas; brother, Benny Edward Jacks of Pineland, Texas; sisters, Marcell Jacks Gilbert and Billie Barrow Simpson, both of Pineland, Texas; and two grandchildren, Cason and Colton.
