Mr. Jackson moved to Iowa in 1878 and has lived in this state ever since. He leaves a most devoted and faithful wife, two daughters, one granddaughter, one brother and two sisters. Mr. Jackson united with the Fairview Christian Church in Taylor County, Iowa, a number of years ago and has been a faithful member ever since.
Mr. Jackson will long be remembered as a very cheerful soul and a most congenial man. He was kind hearted and a good neighbor and for these reason he will be missed by friends and relatives alike.
