Mr.JACK LESTER CLARK 3rd (TEX) was Born on Sept 21st in 1911. In Newton Richey Missouri His dads name was John Samuel Lester Cornell, his mother's name was Susan Margret Sanders Cornell ,Jack had 5 sisters Named Lillian,B.913, Grace B. 1916, Evelyn Ann B. 1920, D. 2011, Margaret Rose B.1921. D. 2010, Mary Virginia B. 1925 D. 2015, and one Brother John Tilton B. 1923 D.2017 My dads birth name was Paul Sanders Cornell. Since my dad changed his name to Jack Lester Clark, and a true Westerner at heart. He headed out to the state of Texas to become a Rancher and Cowboy. And that he did accomplish, Riding in Rodeos and busting wild horses and riding the bulls for the prize money. After he got older Jack travel into New Mexico and met Eunice at the age of 15, Ran off and got married in 1934. Settled down after the great depression having 6 children. He would love to tell his stories of how it was in Texas, where he grew up and about all the ranch's he had worked on, and the wild horses he broke. He called himself Tex also and even wrote up poems and songs about his life that we all lov


Tex loved the ranch life but turned to become a carpenter and joined the union in Roseville CA. where he paided his dews for 50 years, not missing a month, to be able to stay in the union. Jack worked on building Dams like the Folsom, Nimbus, Shasta and Hoover Dam. Also helped put in the Freeway from Sacramento to Nevada state line back in 1957 while we lived on the Pretty Ranch in Rocklin CA. Jack loved and cared for his family with great care and was a very hard worker. After retirement Jack and Eunice moved to Susanville Ca. He really liked it there because it remined him of his home in Texas he said. His family did loved him. Pastor Tony Loubet came to see Tex every other day for 2 weeks, (Tex) Jack Lester Clark the 3rd accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior at the age of 84,so we do know he is with his Jesus now, without any pain of the bladder cancer he had. So now Tex is with his wife Eunice and 5 of their children, as I am the last at the age of 80 to write this great story. In 2017, 3 days after the last family member his brother died, I get a call, they have found his dad and mom that he left when he was 12 years old( and they though he was dead). We now have our family complete with his parents found now. His story after he grew up is above, as he passed away in 1995, But we are finally together again after 73 years . I do believe God put us all together again, As HE loves families.
