Jacob Bernhart Christenson
b. 25 June 1918 Jonesboro, Route #1, Texas
d. about 2001, Sunset Nursing Home, Meridian, Bosque Co., TX of
Alzheimer's
m. Margie Lou Harrison 27 May 1970
(div. 27 Sep 1977 , no children)
After leaving the service he went into business for himself as owner of Jossedie Oil and Gas Company. He continued pursuing "the big oil find" most of his life. He was doing this while maintaining a private duty nursing career in the Dallas area.
In the 1960's he was still doing investment in oil wells while selling used cars in Dallas. He never sold expensive cars and you could say that some of them were real rattlers. I was surprised that some of them made it off the lot. He was probably glad they did. Some years are better than others.
About 1965 he married for a short period of time Margie Lou Harrison. She seemed like a nice lady but I'm sure that he would have been difficult to live with. He had maintained his bachelor hood for too many years and was probably very set in his ways.
In the mid 1990's he starts to lose his memory but also has
prostate cancer and finally is admitted to the Sunset Home in
Meridian, Texas. He dies here with his estate administered by his
nephew, Darrell Reesing. His mineral rights finally may have
helped to support him in the Sunset Home until his death
.
