Mrs. Harriett Casteel Jackson, a pioneer resident of Black Hawk county, died at the Presbyterian hospital yesterday morning at 10:30, following an attack of pneumonia.

Mrs. Jackson was born in Ohio on December 5, 1832. After spending her childhood in that state, she came to Waterloo with her husband, Urius Casteel, in 1854. Since that time she had resided in or near Waterloo.

Mr. Casteel died thirty-eight years ago and later the decendent married Oscar Jackson, who has been dead about twenty years.

Mrs. Jackson, whose last residence was in Chautauqua park, is survived by two daugthers, Mrs. J.L. Wilson and Mrs. Sophia Vail, both of Waterloo. There are also two granddaughters, Mrs. S.E. Barron, and Miss Inez Vail, and two great grandsons, Claude W. and Floyd M. Barron, all of whom reside in this city.

The body was taken to the O'Keefe & Towne undertaking parlors. Funeral services will be held at the Walnut Street Baptist Church tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock, with Rev. J.B. Smith in charge, and burial will be in Fairview Cemetery. Mrs. Jackson was a member of Walnut Street Baptist church.
