Jack
Wayne Meaders is the son of Caulder
and Bertha Hamilton Meaders. Though Caulder didn't
turn pottery, Jack did. Like his cousins, Jack took up the
business after he retired. He married Jessie Stover in 1949,
and had two children, Terry Jo and Jeff.
Jack and
Jessie worked in the shop together for many years. Their partnership
created many beautiful pieces. Jack would turn; Jessie would
decorate the pieces. They worked in this manner until Jack
passed away from Cancer in 1993. He is buried at Mossy Creek.
Their
son Jeff turns some now in his parent's shop, just across
the creek from the old home place.
