Wainscott was born Feb 2nd 1865 on the farm where he now lives, one and one fourth miles from Leando.  Mr. Wainscott received his education in a common country school and recalls many a day when he walked to the school house when snow covered the rail fences. His highest ambition is to see every child receive a good practical education, and to build up his own community. In this, Mr. Wainscott has always done his part. He takes great interest in the school of which he has been treasurer for four years, and he has taught the men's Bible Class in Leando for a number of years. Mr. Wainscott's hobby is good reading. He is a progressive up to date farmer, an early riser, and an untiring worker. (He planted his oats three times this spring) He is an interested member of the Farmer's Union. In 1897 he was united in marriage to Miss Bertha McCullough.</div> <div> ----------------------------------------------</div> <div> James Wainscott</div> <div> 1865-1944.  These dates mark the opening and the closing of a life well spent.

One son, James Donald, passed away March 6, 1924.</div> <div>    Death tends to point out the significant traits in a worthy life emphasizing the outstanding qualities. Perhaps the most outstanding in the life of this father was his love of home and family. Always their interests were first. He was happiest when serving others.

Karcher, the inventor of the reflection seismograph method, who arranged for him to join the newly organized Geophysical Research Corporation (GRC) as party chief of a refraction crew, and his career in geophysical exploration was launched. He pioneered reflection seismograph work in the San Joaquin Valley in California in 1928, and joined Geophysical Service Inc (GSI) in 1930, as party chief to do contract reflection work on the first of the company's four original crews.  His crew mapped Keokuk Falls field, near Shawnee, and Carter-Knox field near Duncan, both in Oklahoma.  The crew then moved to east Texas, where they discovered Long Lake and Cayuga fields.  In 1934, Peacock moved to Houston to supervise GSI's Gulf Coast operations in that rapidly developing province.</div> <div>     His efforts were successful and the company's seismic programs were conducted with great efficiency and effectiveness.  During this time, Peacock endeared himself to those who worked for him.  He always felt a very strong loyalty to those working with him, and did everything he could to help the younger people improve their abilities so as to arrive at the best methods of collecting seismic data and the best interpretations of subsurface structure from these data.  His enthusiastic encouragement and help was appreciated by all those around him.</div> <div>     In 1941, Peacock, Eric Jonsson, Eugene McDermott, and Cecil Green purchased GSI from its original owners, and in 1948, Peacock moved to Dallas as president of GSI.  In 1952, he left GSI to become a consultant, which he remained until his death.</div> <div>     Throughout his career he helped many early explorationists become established.  His advice, encouragement, and enthusiastic support helped many others become successful. He also served his profession.  He was secretary-treasurer of the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) in 1938-1939, vice-president in 1941, and president in 1941-1942.  In 1967, he was awarded honorary membership in the Dallas Geophysical Society and became an honorary member of SEG in 1971.  In April 1971, at the 24th SEG Midwestern meeting in Oklahoma City, Peacock received a Pioneer plaque for some of his early work as party chief of the reflection seismic crew that evaluated the new reflection method in Oklahoma.  His work resulted in the first field found by the reflection seismograph method in Oklahoma.</div> <div>     Although his education was not in geology, Peacock used geology throughout his career to ensure that his geophysical interpretations were sound.  He was very proud of the fact that both his sons followed his footsteps and became geophysicists, one with a degree in geology.  During the memorial service at the United Methodist Church in Dallas, Willis M. Tate said:</div> <div>     Although Dr. Peacock was an intellectual, his religious philosophy was simple:  God is God, right is right, and truth is truth.  He knew that God created the earth, which was the object of his lifetime study.  The more he found about the earth, the more he knew God.</div> <div>     Peacock's warm regard and concern for people throughout his productive career will keep him remembered and missed by all his many friends.</div> <bR> <div> <B><U>Hollis William Wainscott - Obituaries</U></B><B><U> <A NAME="hollis_wainscott_obits"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></U></B></div> <div> Hollis Wainscott</div> <div> DOUDS - Hollis W.
