Dr. Jackson, UK professor, dies
The
Mercer County community lost one of its farm enthusiasts and educators with the
death of Dr. James A. Jackson Jr. at his Salvisa home Dec. 28. Jackson died
from complications of multiple myeloma cancer.
An
associate animal science professor a the University of Kentucky, Jackson, 59,
was a native of Hopkinsville and grew up on a diary grain farm in Trenton where
he was a Todd County 4-H and FFA member.
A 1968
graduate of Todd County High School, he served in Vietnam with the U. S. Air
Force, earned a degree in distributive agriculture from Austin Peay College in
Clarksville, TN and completed his master’s and doctorate degrees in animal
science at the University of Kentucky. In October 1982. he accepted a
teaching/research position with the UK Dairy Science program and became the
advisor for the UK Dairy Club for many years. In 2005, his appointment with UK
changed to a position of working in youth extension educating the 4-Her’s about
livestock judging.
Jackson
was also a member and past president of the Mercer County Cattlemen’s
Association, served as director on the Kentucky Angus Association board and was
a member of the National Angus Association. The Kentucky Angus Association
named him and his family the 2006 Angus Family of the Year.
Doris
Hamilton, current president of the Mercer Count Cattlemen’s Association,
praised Jackson’s service to the organization. “Dr. Jackson has been a member
of the Mercer County Cattlemen’s Association board of directors for nearly 10
years. He began his service to the organization as vice president. It was
Jack’s enthusiasm for the cattle industry and love for learning and teaching
that sparked a revitalization of the organization. Under Dr. Jackson’s
direction, the association began administering the cattle genetics cost-share
program using Ky Ag Development funds,” Hamilton said.
Jackson
served two terms as president of the association and at the time of his death
was serving on the board as past president. “We could always count on Jack to
motivate the board to seek opportunities for learning and progress. Our
organization owes a great deal to Jack and we will be forever grateful for his
help and dedication to improving the beef cattle industry. At the 2010 Mercer
County Fair Beef Show, we will present a new trophy in Dr. Jackson’s honor, the
‘Jack Jackson Memorial Supreme Champion Female trophy.’ We hope this will be
fitting tribute to Jack, so that his memory will live on,” Hamilton said.
Jackson also volunteered as
a 4_H leader in Mercer Count for many years and was honored by the Mercer
County 4-H Council as the “Mercer County Outstanding 4-H Leader for 2006.” He
was also a member and served on the board of the Salvisa Ruritan Club and was a
member of Kirkwood Baptist Church.
Dana
Anderson, Mercer County Extension Agent for 4-H and Youth Development, noted
that Jackson was instrumental in the overall livestock program in Mercer County
and made 4-H education a priority. “He provided leadership to our 4-H Council
recruitment and development programs. He was a dedicated man in what he
believed in and to the programs in which he was involved. I think he will be
missed not only in Mercer County, but throughout the state. He was involved in
4-H livestock judging on the state level, and 4-H has been a big part of his
and his family’s lives,” Anderson said.
Jackson
and his wife Elda, married in July of 1982 and moved to their farm in Salvisa
in May of 1984, where they began a purebred Angus cattle operation subsequently
named Dividing Ridge Farm. It was Jackson’s wish to be buried on his farm.
In
addition to his wife, Jackson is survived by four sons, twins Josh and Justin;
Joey and Jerry and a grandson, Isaiah Dumas and other relatives.
Jackson’
wife and sons have also been very active in local 4-H cattle and farming
programs throughout their lives.
A
memorial service honoring Jackson will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday at the
Salvisa Baptist Church and a Jack Jackson Scholarship Fund has been set up by
the Salvisa Ruritan Club, P. O. Box 3, Salvisa, KY 40272.
“Jack had
three loves: working with youth, cattle and his family. His desire was to be
remembered as a ‘farmer” – a steward of the land with a love of cattle and more
specifically, Angus Cattle,” said his wife, Elda.

ROSCOE
BROWN
A Salvisa man is dead after a fire destroyed his
mobile home Monday night.
Preliminary autopsy results show 67-year-old Roscoe
Brown died of smoke inhalation, according to Salvisa Fire Chief Howard Fallis.
Firefighters were called at
the scene around midnight Monday night when a neighbor reported hearing a loud booming
sound seeing flames a few minutes later. Fallis, who was the first firefighter
to arrive at the scene, said the trailer Brown lived in was completely engulfed
in flames, and the roof was starting to collapse when the first firetrucks
arrived. He said it took about 20 minutes before firefighters were able to
enter the structure, at which time they found Brown’s body in the kitchen.
Fallis said it appeared
Brown had been working on a heater when the fire ignited, “(He) was in a
position where we believe he was doing something with his heater,: Fallis said.
“It was our suspicion that the fire originated from a heat source. We don’t
know what type of heat he was using, but we found kerosene heaters, some
propane containers in the yard and some electric heaters in the trailer.”
Funeral
arrangements for Brown are pending at McKinney Brown Funeral Home in Liberty.
