Could this be the James Otis Cooper (25 Sept 1911-13 Apr 2006) on the SSDI whose last residence was Boerne, Kendall County, Texas? Very likely as in 1964 he was living in nearby San Antonio. There are also Otis Cooper's, born in 1911 and 1912 who died in Pampa and Humble. Noted that first name may have instead been spelled ODIS.

McClelland honored with diploma

Alma J. Lott McClelland was honored Thursday night by the Hemphill I.S.D. Board of Trustees. Mrs. McClelland has been a volunteer at the Hemphill I.S.D.'s cafeteria for the past nine years-serving ice cream at least two days a week.

The school learned that she had never received her high school diploma because she had to go to work to help her family. She lacked one and one-half credits to obtain her diploma, so Hemphill I.S.D. presented her with an honorary diploma.

Mrs. McClellend's daugther, Nancy Fuller, and granddaughter, Missi Fuller Gibbons, were by her side Thursday night as she received this special recognition.

Hemphill High School Principal Marc Griffin read the following before the diploma was presented:

"In 1939, our country was in a different place than we know it today. Having just stabilized after World War I, then surviving the Great Depression, the United States was at work again. With millions of men away fighting, huge numbers of horrific casualities still lingering from World War I, there was a severe shortage of laborers in a range of jobs from rural to the cities. Women were called on, by necessity, to do work outside the home.....Sabine County was no exception. Many men and women of [that era] dropped out of school as non-completing seniors to either suppor the war effort directly or support their families while the men were away. Alma J. Lott dropped out of high school in October of 1939 to go to work. Her father, Joshua Lott, had returned home from World War I with lung deterioration due to being gassed while held as prisoner of war in France. Hemphill had a sewing room which paid $2 a day for women would go to work for family support. Sewing rooms housed large and dangerous equipment. Certainly there was no air conditioning. Nonetheless, Alma, like millions of other young people from 1935 to 1945 when to work...Alma has lived a life with few regrets. But the one regret she has mentioned numerous times is how she wished she could have graduated from high school...Numerous times, when her family has complained about a "difficult subject" she always told them to 'Hush' (because) if given a chance she would have become a medical doctor. She has been a lifelong reader and has encouraged all those whose lives she touched to always continue to read and learn. She has worked 'around the square' in Hemphill. She has decorated retails windows, done bookkeeping in stores, ordering, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and maintained displays and every other area of retail sales. Later in life, she operated Granny's House, a licensed family home for child care in Hemphill. She insisted on checking every child's report card once they entered school, and if the bus dropped them off she made them do their homework (which she checked) after a healthy snack. Graduating from college was not an option that was ever given [to her daughter and grandchildren] Nancy, Trey or Missi....In 2001...the federal legislature formally recognized those high school seniors who interupted their own education to contribute to the U.S.'s economic support...They gave the states the right to return the privilege of graduation to those young men and women show left high shool during the time of war and economic depression....."

Managing Granny's House, where she cared for numerous children complete with home Cooked meals, serving as the Nursery Manager for her beloved First Baptist Church touching the lives of so many children, or volunteering at school for nine years, to raise scholarships for students, were all done with love and the greatest care she had to offer. Frequently, When asked why she volunteered at school three to four days a week her answer was always the same. "If I can help one child go to college by selling pickles and ice cream, that will be an opportunity I never had." She received a Presidential commendation from President George H W Bush following the explosion of the Columbia Space shuttle. She cooked more than 100 dishes to serve to the volunteers with her own money. Granny was Nursery Director of First Baptist Church for nine years.

William "Bud" Bradford Eicke, Jr., formerly of Bay City, Texas, passed away on October 22, 2020 at the age of 87. He was born on April 29, 1933 to William Bradford Eicke and Lura Mae (Strickland) Eicke in Hemphill, Texas. Bud was raised in Bronson, Texas and graduated from high school at the age of 15. He joined the Army and spent time overseas in Metz France. After the Army, Bud joined Sun Oil Company (SUNOCO) in Texas as a "doodlebugger" searching for oil reserves across the southwest. While working in west Texas, Bud met Deloris (Dee) Fockler while she was working in a restaurant. They fell in love and married, eventually raising five boys.

In 1963, Bud and Dee settled down in Vidor, Texas. Bud continued to progress his career with SUNOCO, and started tinkering with a new technology ? color TV's. Bud would spend some of his evenings with friends and family carrying a collection of vacuum tubes and "optimizing" everyone's color TV sets. Bud and the family would make special trips to Bronson and Lake City Michigan, so the boys could spend time with their grandparents ? going fishing, shooting, farming, horse riding, milking cows and bailing hay.

In 1970, the family moved to Plano, Texas so Bud could work at the SUNOCO Dallas office. He was recognized as a Senior Geophysicists. He was very proud and would tell everyone he was the first Senior Geophysicist without a college degree. While working for SUNOCO, Bud travelled all over the world including two trips to the North Pole looking for oil.

Bud worked for SUNOCO for over 30 years and retired at 55 years old.

In 1988, Bud moved to Bay City, Texas so he could spend more time fishing in the gulf. While at Bay City, Bud started a second career working as a sales representative for Trojan Explosives. Bud developed a shaped charge explosive that more efficiently focused the energy wave so lighter weight explosives could be used for oil exploration and is continued to be used today in seismic research. With Trojan, Bud travelled all over Mexico and South America helping those countries establish their oil exploration industries.

Bud lived in Bay City, Texas over the last 20 years and would enjoy his children and grandchildren when they would come down to visit. He always took them to Matagorda beach and he enjoyed watching them play in the sand and water. Some days he would take his boat and grandkids out fishing or just for a ride. Afterward, he always took them to his local watering hole, K-2 Steakhouse, and would fill them up with food and brag to everyone what great grandkids he had. We will forever be grateful to his K-2 friends. They became our friends and we truly loved them as they were "his Bay City Family".

Bud is survived by his sons; Michael Dennis Eicke and wife, Karen of Benbrook, Texas; Charles Eicke and wife, Rose of The Colony, Texas; Philip Barry Eicke of Trenton, Texas; and George David (Sam) Eicke of Wylie, Texas; his grandchildren, Mark William Eicke, Jessica Eicke-Reinartz, Alex Eicke, Brandon Hartwell, Cody Eicke, Ryan Eicke, Jeremy Eicke, and Joshua Eicke, and his brother; Paul Eicke, and sister; Emily McClinton and husband, Herman, and many Nieces and Nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents; William Bradford and Lura Mae Eicke; his son, William Bradford Eicke; his younger brothers, Cecil and George Eicke; and his older sister, Louise Eicke-Childs.

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.
