Mr. Jackson’s
Funeral Held
A.E. Jackson, Rome
Boulevard, a retired Summer
ville businessman, died Satur
day morning in Floyd Medical
Center, Rome. He was 93.
Mr. Jackson was born on
Jan. 30, 1901 in Heard County,
son of the now late Mr. and
Mrs. Ben Jackson. He spent
much of his life in Carroll
County.
As a young man, he work
ed in an auto assembly plant in
Birmingham, Ala., before
returning to Carrollton and go
ing to work for Ford Motor Co.
in Atlanta. A few years later,
he started a “‘top shop” in Car
rollton. That’s a shop where
the t.o&s were attached to autos
that didn’t have them at the
time.
He then heard that the
Chevrolet dealership in Rome
needed a body shop employee
and he got a job there in 1928.
Mr. Jackson began his own
shop in 1930 before becoming
a.Cfirysler dealer in 1933 an
1934.
HUDSON
Mr. Jackson then obtained
a Hudson dealership for Rome
in late 1934, remaining there
until Hudson Motor Co. went
out of business in 1954.
He arrived in Summerville
in 1954 and bought the
Chevrolet-Oldsmobile dealer
s};.ilfl from Roy Davis of
Calhoun.
After he “officially” retired,
he turned the business over to
his sons, Alton and Harold
Jackson. One son, Harold,
recalled that his father would
still go by the post office to get
the company mail each morn
ing and arrive at the shop to do
business through his early 70s.
He receive<gi a number of
awards from Hudson and
Chevrolet through the years.
In addition, he won a 13-day
trip to Europe which was about
the only vacation he ever took,
his family recalled.
Mr. Jackson remained busy
after his retirement, building
two vehicles from scratch. He
also built a 1966 Austin Healey
Sebring with a pepped-up V-6
engine.
He ‘“‘always’ had a farm,
raisinicows and ponies. At one
time, he had about 100 ponies
on his farm. Two months ago,
he sold his cows to a Trion
man, son Harold said.
The Chevrolet-Oldsmobile
dealership passed out of the
Jackson family when it was
sold to Jimmy Black. It was
later sold by Black and became
Allen-Smith Chevrolet-Olds-
Geo at Pennville.
Mr. Jackson was a member
of Summerville First Baptist
Church. His wife, Lois Bagwell
Jackson, died earlier.

nieces and nephews.

at 3 p.m. Monday in the J. D.
Hill Funeral Home chapel with
the Rev. Chuck DeVane of
ficiating. Interment was in
Summerville Cemetery.
Active pallbearers were
