Funeral Homem/obituary/jh-hack-blankinship
James Haskell “Hack” Blankinship, 93 years of
age, died April 3, 2020, at his Atlas, Lamar County, Texas home. He was born on
February 19, 1927, at Atlas to Luther and Stella Bramlett Blankinship.
Hack grew up in a farm family with step
brothers Vernon, Weldon, and Herschel, and younger brother Ted and was educated at the Atlas school.
Later, he received his high school diploma through correspondence study. Hack married
Billie Jean
Jamar in 1947 and they had one son, Jim. Near the time of their
marriage, he left farming and worked for Paris, Texas, fuel distributors,
including seventeen years for Gulf distributor Sam Weiss. He sold and delivered
gasoline and other products in Lamar County and beyond, getting to know
families, merchants, and contractors. In 1966, Hack and Billie started Blankinship Oil Company, a
fuel and oil products distribution business they operated for thirty-five
years. While they worked in the business, he enjoyed watching cutting horses,
quail hunting, cooking squirrel stew, and fishing with his grand-children and
great grandchildren, but nothing energized him like putting a business deal
together. Some of his fondest memories were of young customers succeeding with
their farms and businesses.
In 2002, Hack and Billie sold Blankinship
Oil Company. Hack continued raising Hereford cattle, selling land, and
representing buyers of real estate from his office on South Church Street. He
told friends that he intended never to retire and make good on it by continuing
to raise and sell cattle and by closing his last sell of property this past
December.
Hack was elected to the Paris Independent
School District, Board of Trustees, and served as County Commissioner of Lamar
County, Precinct Two, having been appointed by the Commissioners’ Court to fill
out an unexpired term. He later advocated, unsuccessfully, to consolidate Lamar
County’s four road and bridge crews and budgets to promote efficiency and
conserve taxpayer dollars. Hack and Billie were active members of Immanuel
Baptist Church in Paris for many years and in later life attended Atlas Baptist
Church.
Hack is survived by his son, Jim and wife, Anne
of New Braunfels, Texas; grandson, Houston, his wife Katy, and their children,
Brooke and Cooper Hack of Austin, Texas; granddaughter, Laura Hallam, her
husband Nick, and their daughters, Maisie and Marin of Lubbock, Texas. He is
also survived by Steve Blankinship of Plano, Texas, the son of brother, Ted, who visited
with Hack often.
Due to the epidemic, caused by the corona
virus in our nation, a private graveside service is scheduled at Rockford
Cemetery on April 8.

and proudly sat back and watched as they utilized their teachings. She was very proud of her family and when the
grands and great grands came along, her heart was overflowing with joy. Clara enjoyed the simple things in life. Her hard work ethic and old-fashioned skills
led to her making clothes for her family, gardening and cooking. Her love of family often had her visiting
