- Obituary in newspaper read for Jesse F. Pickrell:
Funeral Services were held in Beaumont, Jan. 18, 1972, for Dr. Jesse F. Pickrell, native of Jack county, who died in El Paso County following a brief illness. Dr. Pickrell, born near Jermyn in 1921, was the son of Alice Pickrell and the late Mont B. Pickrell.
He was graduated from high school in Jermyn before attending North Texas State University, where he received his bachelor's and master's degrees. He received the Ph.D. degree from the University of Pennsylvania.
Dr. Pickrell had served 21 years on the faculty of North Texas State University. For the past four years, he had been a faculty member at the University of Texas at El Paso, where he was head of the Department of Business.
He is survived by two daughters, Martha Pickrell and Mary Pickrell, and two sons, Stephen Pickrell and John Pickrell, all of El Paso. Other survivors are his mother, Mrs. Alice Pickrell of Dallas; Three brothers, Earl Pickrell and M. G. Pickrell of Dallas and Thomas R. Pickrell of Ponca city, Okla., and one sister, Mrs. Sue Hoots of Cloverdale, California.
-----------
From his Sister Sue, she remembers that he received the Fullbright scholarship for his PHD. His daughter, Martha, remembers that he studied a book on the German language and was able to pass a class with one test, so he wouldn't have to take the class for the entire semester.
The family was very surprised when he died. They had received a call the night before saying he'd be coming home the next morning. He was hospitalized with pneumonia. The next day, they got the call that he had passed away. The oldest child, Martha, took on the roll as the "parent" for her brothers and sister.
