1. Ernest never married.
1. At the age of 19, he began to practice veterinary medicine; having learned the trade from his Uncle Thomas Jared, who for many years had been a farmer and practitioner in Warren County, Illinois.
2. At the time George started his practice, Thomas presented him with all his accumulated instruments and literature. This was the beginning of a practice which lasted 52 years.
3. Mr. Jared of this sketch intermittently tried various fields of endeavor. He ran a saw mill, farmed, and trained race horses in Illinois, owned and operated a pool hall and duck hunting concession in Stuggart, Arkansas. From there to the Klondike Gold Rush in Alaska. After failing to find riches in gold, he returned to Illinois to resume the operation of another saw mill and part-time practice of verterinary medicine.
4. In 1907 he and his family moved to a farm ten miles Northwest of Apache, Oklahoma where he lived until his death in 1940. These 33 years were spent in farming and treating animals with a few attempts in the field of show business. He organized several road trips for Indian shows where they charged admission to watch his Apache Indians perform thier ceremonial dances. These trips proved fruitful but short as he usually paid his performers after two-weks on the road. The first thing they did after getting paid would be to get drunk and the next time Dr. Jared would see them would be after he moved his tent and all equipment back home. Some of these Indians and thier descendants still tribal songs describing these trips to the County Fairs in Waco, Texas.
5. Dr. Jared was married to Sarah Jane Lippy of Prairie City, Illinois, in Swan Creek, Illinois, in 1888. Two children were born to this union. The first, a daughter Leona, died of diptheria sometime soon after 3 years of age. The second child Elmer Brinton, born at Swan Creek, Illinois, April 10, 1890 spent the first 17 years in the county of his birth and after his marriage to Mabel Jones in Oklahoma, he farmed with his father until 1925 when he built his own business...a country general store located 8 miles Northwest of Apache, where he resided until shortly before his death. Dr. George Brinton Jared, a name-sake of General Geroge Brinton McClellan passed away suddenly on 18 May 1940 in the home of his son. He was attenting a dance there. He had been dancing a "Paul Jones" less than a minute before he collapsed.
6. He was buried at Apache, Oklahoma, still wearing his long braids that hung below his waist. His funeral was largely attended by both Indians and white people.
