Individual:
Elvin reports: I was born on a cattle ranch in Western Nebraska on
June 6, 1900. After World War I, my dad sold the ranch and we moved toArizona to a milder climate. We located in Chino Valley in 1920 andestablished a headquarters for another ranch. I worked on the ranch inthe summer and attended school in the winter. In 1923 I graduated inaccounting from Lamson Business College in Phoenix and started workingfor the Arizona Power Company in 1924 as a warehouseman and purchasingagent. I was married in 1927 to Rivers Copeland who was employed atthat time with the Corporation Commission in Phoenix. She was thedaughter of the first physician in Wickenburg.
[They were to be married by P. Y. Pendleton of the Central Christian Church in Phoenix, but he forgot about it and they called in RichardE. Day, a Baptist minister to marry them on October 8, 1927. LL]
In 1929 I left the Arizona Power Company and took a job in Phoenix as credit and office manager for Miller Brothers Motors, the stateNash distributors. The automobile business was on the decline duringthe depression and in 1932 I took a job with the Federal Land Bank inappraising farm and ranch lands in Arizona. In 1935 the Arizona MiningSupply in Prescott went on the market and another man and I took overthe business. I operated this as the president and general manager fortwenty-six years.
After I retired from the Arizona Mining Supply some other men and I founded the Canyon Savings and Loan where I was Vice President andDirector for fourteen years, then Southwest Savings took it over. Atthe same time that I was with the Savings and Loan, I was president ofthe Prescott Development Company that developed Jackson AcresSubdivision on Iron Springs Road. I am now retired but still hold theposition of president of Prescott Development Company.
My wife Rivers died in 1963. I later married her sister Joyce Boyd, a school teacher at Dexter School. Joyce was a widow with threechildren 6 to 13 years of age. Her husband had died three yearsprevious and she was teaching and trying to support her family. Joycedied two years ago so I am now alone. I have two sons, two stepsonsand one step daughter, eight grand-daughters, three grandsons and twogreat grandsons. I became a member of the Prescott Kiwanis Club in May1935 and have been a member 53 years. I always enjoy the Kiwanisluncheons. I have attended two International Conventions and a numberof District Conventions. I was president in 1940. I was secretary ofthe club nine years and assistant secretary another ten years.
[ --Elvin Jackson served as an elder and charter member of the MT. Vernon Church of Christ. He is also an avid gardener.(LL) In his lateryears, the lady who helped Esther maintain her independent living,Gayle Bailey, kept house for him and assisted in his independent lifestyle. Address 1996: 125 MN MT Vernon, Prescott, AZ 86301]
