J. JACKSON, PIONEER OF COUNTY, DIES

John Jackson, 79, of Wallingford, died at 6 p.m. yesterday [Apr. 11, 1940] of a heart attack. He had been ill only a few days and was not confined to his bed yesterday although he complained of a pain in his chest during the day.

A doctor was summoned yesterday afternoon and Mr. Jackson died while the doctor was at his home.

Mrs. Jackson has been ill for some time with heart trouble and is confined to her bed.

Surviving besides his widow is one son, Charles Jackson, who lives three miles southwest of Wallingford. A daughter, Mrs. Art Amdal, died in 1919.

Mr. and Mrs. Jackson both were born in Scotland and came to America from that country. They lived for a time on a farm in South Dakota, later moved to the farm where the Charles Jacksons now live, and 28 years ago moved to their present farm on the highway across from the service station on the north edge of Wallingford.

Services will be Monday afternoon at 1:45 at the home and 2:30 at the Estherville Presbyterian church with the Rev. Claude Fausnaugh in charge. Burial will be in Oak Hill cemetery.
