Generation No. 2
2. CHARLES2 JACKMAN (MICHAEL1) was born Apr 1793 in St. John's Parish, Co. Kilkenny, Ireland, and died Bet. 1848 - 1849 in Leapstown, Co. Kilkenny, Ireland. He married CATHERINE PHELAN 22 Jan 1827 in St. John's Parish, Co. Kilkenny, Ireland (Source: St. John's Parish RC Records.). She was born in Ireland, and died Abt. 1845 in Leapstown, Co. Kilkenny, Ireland.
Notes for CHARLES JACKMAN:
Tithe Applotment Books (income tax on farming) listed: Charles Jackman, 1833, Civil Parish of Kilmademoge, Leapstown, Co. Kilkenny, Ireland. The townland of Leapstown is located in the Catholic Parish of Muckalee.
____________________
House Books for the Civil Parish of Kilmademoge, dated Sept and Oct. 1848: In the townland of Leapstown Charles Jackman is listed in 1848 as living in Dwelling No. 10 with measurements listed..
Tenure Book for Leapstown dated October 1848: Charles Jackman is listed at No. 10 and shows that he was renting the property from Captain Augustus Hartford at a yearly rent of 30 shillings per year. He was noted as being a tenant at will.
Note: Surveyor's Notebooks - House, Tenure and Field Books. These books were some of the various notebooks used by the surveyor when compiling the Griffith's Valuation survey. They can be a useful source of information as often they record additional information not noted in Griffith's Valuation and can include owners and tenants of property who do not subsequently appear in the Griffith's Valuation survey. Charles Jackman was not listed in Griffith's Valuation which was published in the Civil Parish of Kilmademoge (which includes Leapstown) August 1, 1849 - it therefore appears that Charles died in 1848 or in 1849. Patrick R. Jackman, son of Charles Jackman, has several obits that indicate that his parents both Charles Jackman and Catherine Phelan died in the mid 1840's.

Notes for MICHAEL JACKMAN:
Reflections on Michael Jackman, as recalled by his granddaughter, Winifred Jackman Slattery, in May 1989:
My paternal grandfather came to Iowa from Ireland in 1856. He wanted to buy land - good land for farming and the cattle business. Fortunately, he had enough money to travel directly to Iowa. Many had to work to make money for the trip. He was a real entrepreneur. Bought two farms plus a small farm west of town. He settled on the east side of the lake two miles north of town.
He had a head for business and did well, especially in the cattle business. He was known as a "gentleman farmer." Hired the work done. He was a very generous man. Always donated more than his share to the church. He kept the priest in a good horse and buggy all his life (in Emmetsburg).

Found and Lost Again - Those hams. Some of Mr. M. Jackman's family discovered them in a hay stack, north of Mr. Jackman's farm. But "mum" was not the word, and when they went for the hams, they had disappeared again. The thief had evidently learned that their hiding place had been found out.

BADLY HURT - M. Jackman, living about a mile north from town, was the victim of a very serious accident on Tuesday. He was driving hay from the meadow south from town; when about opposite the REPORTER office he started his horses up on a brisk trot, and kept them going down through Broadway and on to Main street; just as he was turning the corner near Williamson's Hall, he was thrown, or fell from the top of the load of hay to the ground, striking upon his shoulders. He was taken to a house near by, and when the doctors arrived it was ascertained that his collar bone and one shoulder was broken. It is thought the injury will cripple him somewhat for life.

A son of Michael Jackman of Freedom township caused his parents some trouble this week by suddenly disappearing from the family hearthstone. Mr. Jackman dispatched Sheriff McDonnell in search of the boy who found the latter busily employed on the grading of the Toledo & Northwestern road, north of Algona, on Thursday. The youngster is once more at home with his parents.

Boys will be boys. A son of Michael Jackman started out on a cruise of his own a few days ago unbeknown to his parents or any one of the family. He took a boat and crossed the lake, left the boat on the opposite shore and then went on foot to Algona and then hired out to work by the month. On his way he stopped overnight at Terrence Cullen's and told them that he came from Estherville and that his parents were poor and not able to keep him and had sent him out to look for a place to work. Mr. Cullen's people did not recognize him at the time. His parents found the boar on the opposite side of the lake from their home and naturally enough concluded that the boy was drowned in the lake, and they were almost distracted until they learned that he was in Algona, when they sent over and had the young lad brought back.

A Modern Dreamer
Modern people as a rule pay little attention to dreams, but occasionally a firm believer in dreams bob up in some unexpected place. This is true of a modern dreamer by the name of James Davis, who up to Monday morning was working for Ole Benson, who resides a few miles east of Emmetsburg. Last Monday morning Davis got up about 3:30 o'clock and was rambling about the house. Being awakened by the noise, Mr. Benson asked him what he was doing. Davis replied that he had had a dream which told him that he must move and he must go. Davis went but in the morning when Mr. Benson arose, he missed a shot gun and some other things of lesser value. He came to town and informed Sheriff Hanson of the loss, who at once began inquiries for Davis. The only clue to him came from M. JACKMAN who saw the fellow going by his place about seven o'clock in the morning. If Davis only dreams that he must avoid towns until he passes the Minnesota border, he will be all right as his theft is only petty larceny.

M. Jackman Breaks His Leg
Friday our citizens were pained to learn that Michael Jackman, Sr., living a short distance north of this city, had his right leg broken a short distance below the knee. He was moving a water tank and it fell on him. This is most unfortunate as his is sixty-nine years of age and the bones will be rather slow in growing together again.

Last Friday while assisting in unloading a waste tank that was being moved from one of his pastures to the feed lot by his house, Michael Jackman, Sr., had the misfortune to get one broken leg and the other one somewhat pinched. Dr. Davies had just driven by and was overtaken and cared for the sufferer. Report has it that the leg is doing well and that Mr. Jackman is still in the ring.

Michael Jackman Dies Suddenly
Tuesday morning our citizens were both pained and surprised to learn of the sudden death of Michael Jackman at his home in this city. Monday he was down town as usual and in the evening he retired apparently in good health. In the morning he was found dead in bed, his body being still warm. Apoplexy is said to have been the cause of his death. The funeral will be held Friday. The services will be held at Assumption Church and the interment will be in St. John's Cemetery.
Michael Jackman was born in the County of Kilkenny, Ireland. He came to the United States at an early age and settled in La Salle County, Illinois. There he was married to Margaret Lowery, who still survives him. There are four sons and five daughters. The sons are Patrick, of Armstrong; Charles, of Wyoming; and Michael and William, of Emmetsburg.
The daughters are Mrs. Conlon and Miss Agnes Jackman, of this city; Mrs. Richard Nolan and Miss Lizzie Jackman of Fairmont, Minnesota; and Miss Mary Jackman of Armstrong.
Mr. Jackman came to this county as a member of the original Irish Colony in 1856. In this settlement were James and John Nolan, John Neary, Edward and Miles Mahan, Martin Laughlin, Thos. Laughlin, and the deceased and his brother Patrick. With them he went through all the trials and hardships incident to pioneer life. He was hardy and rugged and as the years passed he became prosperous. He owned a large tract of land and for many years he was perhaps the most extensive stock raiser in this section of Iowa. He had a comfortable home and for years strangers and new settlers found shelter and comfort beneath his hospitable roof. He had his peculiar traits, but he had a large, warm heart and he was a generous donor to every cause calculated to advance the welfare of the community in which he resided. All who knew him intimately had a warm regard for him and had confidence in his sincerity and his integrity. One by one the old landmarks are passing. For nearly half a century Mr. Jackman has been an important part of the industrial life of our community. He was here before Emmetsburg was thought of and before there was a Palo Alto County. What wonders have since been wrought in this immediate locality. He lived through all those years of marvelous progress and was a leading living factor in the industrial and material changes that have taken place. His sudden death will be regretted by all and especially by those who knew him during the early history and who shared with him the trying experiences of pioneer days.

A Palo Alto Pioneer Gone
Tuesday morning the citizens of Emmetsburg were surprised and saddened to learn that early that morning Mr. Michael Jackman had passed to the great beyond. Monday Mr. Jackman was on the street, apparently in his usual health, and late in the afternoon he had expressed himself to a friend as feeling uncommonly well. He went to bed as usual and during the night nothing occurred to indicate that he was unwell, but in the morning, upon being called to breakfast no response was given, and one of the family went to his room and found him dead. The body was still warm so that life had not been extinct for any great length of time. His death was caused by an apoplectic stroke.
Michael Jackman was born in the county of Kilkenny, Ireland, in the year 1826, and at an early age he came to this country and settled in La Salle county, Ill. There he was married to Miss Margaret Lowery, who survives him. To them were born nine children, four sons and five daughters. The sons are M. Jackman and William Jackman of this city, Charles Jackman who resides in Wyoming, and Patrick Jackman of Armstrong. The daughters are Mrs. Conlon and Miss Agnes Jackman, of this city, Mrs. Richard Nolan and Miss Lizzie Jackman, of Fairmont, Minn., and Miss Mary Jackman, of Armstrong, were present at the funeral.
Mr. Jackman came to this county in 1856, and was one of the original Irish colony. He settled near where Mr. Doyle now lives, a couple of miles northwest of town, where he resided for some time. He afterwards settled on his present farm, about three miles northeast of Emmetsburg. With the rest of those hardy pioneers, Mr. Jackman tasted of the hardships of pioneer life. He endured the privations of those earlier days with a pertinacity that was bound to succeed, and lived long enough to see the country that he invaded when a wild and weary waste of prairie and grass, blossom into gardens and well tilled fields of grain and corn. He gave the best years of his manhood and added his mite to bring about the splendid condition of Palo Alto county at the present day. He was rugged and hardy with ways peculiar to himself, but he was always hospitable, and many a weary traveler in those earlier days found food and shelter under his roof. He shared in the material prosperity of the country, and was, at the time of his leaving active farm life, a couple of years ago, one of the largest land owners in the county.
The funeral took place from Assumption church, on Thursday morning at ten o'clock, and the remains interred in St. John's cemetery. It was largely attended.

A SUDDEN SUMMONS
Michael Jackman, Pioneer of Emmetsburg, Found Dead in His Bed
Emmetsburg, March 20. At about 7 o'clock yesterday morning Michael Jackman was found dead in bed. He was heard by some members of his family about 2 o'clock, but then when they went to call him for breakfast they found him lying on his side, with one hand resting on his breast, quietly sleeping the rest of peace. Mr. Jackman was about 70 years old. He was one of the very early settlers of his county, one of the old pioneers, a very quaint character always at work and up and doing. He owned a large and extensive farm within two miles of Emmetsburg and was an extensive dealer in livestock. He had many warm friends, and as a neighbor, friend and business man will be missed by the entire community. Thus the old land marks pass away, while others rear themselves instead.

Only Words of Praise
Neighboring Newspapers Speak Highly of Our Semi-Centennial Celebration
Emmetsburg celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of the first permanent settlements in Palo Alto county, last Friday, and did it on a magnificent scale, and with complete success.
* * * The Algonians were royally entertained. Every courtesy that could be extended to them was freely given. Many of them wore the Palo Alto souvenir button, which bore a picture of the old MICHAEL JACKMAN log cabin, that was built fifty years ago, a few miles up the lake, by the old pioneer, and which is still standing. Many also were kindly entertained at Emmetsburg homes and feasted off the fat of the land, and all the delicacies of the season. * * * The great jubilee demonstrations were in charge of officials who had carefully planned every detail, and they were on the ground working like heroes to make the event a success * * * Emmetsburg is a splendid town to hold such a jubilee, on account of the great amount of shade that is to be found in every part of town, especially the court house park where thousands roamed all day long. The attractions were widely scattered so at no time did the crowds all center at one place. The old settlers day, while we were there, was the third day of the Semi Centennial jubilee. The business men had decorated profusely so that the city presented a most beautiful appearance - Algona Advance

From Palo Alto Ponderings' by Myram Tunnicliff, regarding the Emmetsburg Democrat, July 29, 1999 -
"While searching for something else, I found some notes Husband Dick had typed about some county history told to him by the late Walt High.
It concerned the old Jackman barn on the East side of Five Island Lake that later belonged to Gary Frink before it was demolished. Walt said it was the oldest barn that he knew of in the county. Anyway Isadore Gappa had hired out to plow for Mickey Jackman behind a walking plow. Mickey told him to take his pick of any of the teams in the barn. They were as fine horses as young Gappa had ever seen. Naturally he chose the best pair of the bunch and started plowing. But the horses were to good for him. They walked so fast he nearly had to run all day and was exhausted. He decided to pick a slower team for the next day. When asked for a slower team, all Mickey said was , Did you wear the other team out ?"
Mickey Jackman was the father of Willie Jackman who was the father of Tommy and Cyril Jackman.
What stories this county could tell if we only had a way of recapturing them!"

For many years her hospitable home on the east bank of Medium Lake was a stopping place for newcomers, who came to locate on the bleak prairies of this section of the state, and for many travelers, who called for a meal and a night's lodging. The best that the humble accommodations of pioneer days afforded was at their disposal and was freely given to them, and they left with the assurance that they would be welcome should they call again. Mrs. Jackman was a kind and loving mother, a generous and prudent home provider, an obliging neighbor and a staunch, helpful friend. During the last thirty years of her life she was an invalid and was unable to leave her home, but she bore her affliction with Christian fortitude and was willing to make any sacrifice of life's comforts and happiness that Providence might require of her. Several sons and daughters, all of who are today active and influential men and women in the world, have reason to recall her many thoughtful and affectionate deeds with the sweetest, the most hallowed of memories and will tenderly cherish through life her useful and edifying career. She was one of the last of the old settlers to linger. Her death will be mourned not only by those who were bound to her by the strongest and the firmest of ties, but also by many who found her so hospitable in early days and who can never forget her for her generosity and her kindness when in pioneer days they as strangers called at her home.

Mrs. Margaret Jackman
At 1:30 a.m. Wednesday, October 7, Mrs. Margaret Jackman died at her home in this city. She had been an invalid for thirty years or more and during this long period of time her life was one of peace and contentment. She had a pleasant smile and word of cheer for every one who came to her home. Such Christian fortitude and humble submission to the Divine will as she evidenced during her long years of suffering and confinement is rare indeed and to us seems one of the most commendable acts of true Christianity that we have ever known. For several days before her demise she was in a very weak condition and death seemed inevitable. The family was called home so that they might see her again before life was extinct. She passed away peacefully. That same unfaltering trust that sustained her through long years of illness was evident to her dying breath. Funeral services were conducted at Assumption church by Very Rev. P. F. Farrelly at 10 o'clock Friday morning and the remains laid to rest in the family lot in St. John cemetery.
The pall bearers were Joseph, Patrick, John and Francis Jackman, Dan Murphy and Paul Schaney all nephews of the deceased.
Miss Margaret Lowry was born in the Provence of Leinster, Westmeath county Ireland, on March 17, 1839. In 1851 she came to America. In 1857 she came to Palo Alto county and has resided here constantly since. In 1858 she was united in marriage to Michael Jackman. They located on a farm in Freedom township, a short distance north of this city on the east bank of Medium Lake where they resided for many years. About seventeen years ago they retired and came to Emmetsburg to live. On March 19,1901 Mr. Jackman died, but his wife still maintained the old home. We are quite unable to find words to express our sympathy for the bereaved ones in this case. True, this mother had lived to a good old age and had been helpless for many, many years and demanded constant care. Yet this helplessness in itself endeared her and mingled with that kind, gentle, loving sympathy, that indulgent disposition that kept a warmth of genuine hospitality ever in her home made her presence absolutely necessary to happiness there. The unselfish solicitude for her family and friends that made her forget herself and bound her close to the hearts of her children that death seems a cruel below. During the earlier years of her life when she was well and strong she labored earnestly and zealously for the comfort of her husband and children. She was kind an neighborly and always willing to assist where she felt that she could be of service. Her life has been the kind of one that we all feel is deserving of eternal reward, for she was a woman of strong Christian character, patient, loving self-sacrificing. May peace and everlasting happiness be hers. She was the mother of Eleven children. Of these Charles, Margaret, Lizzie and a baby were called before her. The surviving children are Patrick of Grand Island, Neb., Michael of Waterloo, Mrs. Richard Nolan of Mankato, Minn., Mrs. Catherine Conlon, William, Mary and Agnes Jackman of this city. Besides she has twenty-one grandchildren and three great grandchildren. TO them we extend our sincere sympathy.

During his absence he had been to the far west and had seen a great deal of the western country. He is the son of Mrs. Michael Jackman of this city and was well-known here years ago. His long absence has caused quite a change in him as has this place changed greatly to him during that time.

Death of Charles Jackman
The death of Charles Jackman, which occurred Tuesday evening of last week at the home of his mother, Mrs. Michael Jackman, of this city, was briefly announced in last week's Democrat. He had been ill for several months. Early during the spring season his passing away was almost daily looked for, but later he rallied and he was able to ride about with his sisters a week or ten days before the final summons came. However, his condition was such that not even his immediate relatives hoped for his recovery.
The funeral was held Friday forenooon. His brother Michael was absent in Canada, and could not be reached. Hence, the delay. There was a large procession of the old neighbors and friends of the family. A requiem high mass was celebrated at Assumption Church by Very Rev. J. J. Smith. The burial was in St. John's cemetery.
The deceased was born in this county January 11,1866. He spent his boyhood years in the immediate vicinity of Emmetsburg and was perhaps known to all old settlers of the county, as the home of his parents was one of the well known stopping places for weary travelers during pioneer days. When he grew to manhood he went west and was absent for twenty years or more. A couple of years ago he came back to visit and remained. After his return, he spent a few months at Oelwein, but he came to Emmetsburg shortly after the death of his sister Lizzie. He was broken in health and it was evident that he could not live long.
The writer never met the deceased but those who knew him esteemed him as a friend and citizen and had the highest confidence in him. He was taken away in manhood's prime, at an age when most men are capable of giving to the world their best efforts. His death is a severe blow to his aged mother and to the other members of the family, occurring as it did, so soon after that of his lamented sister. The sympathy of all is extended to them in their sorrow. May Providence, for many years to come, spare their home from similar afflictions.

Death of Miss Lizzie Jackman
Monday evening about eight o'clock our citizens were pained to learn of the rather sudden death of Miss Lizzie Jackman at her home in this city. Few had heard of her illness, though she had not been feeling well for about a week. Monday evening she was taken with a choking spell, her ailment appearing to be something in the nature of tonsillitis. Dr. Powers was summoned, but he did not consider her condition is any way serious. Within the next three or four hours she passed away. Her unexpected taking off was, of course, a severe shock to the family and friends. The funeral will probably take place tomorrow at 10 o'clock. Services will be conducted at Assumption church by Father Youngblood.
Miss Elizabeth Jackman was born in Freedom Township in 1871. She was a daughter of the late Michael Jackman, one of our county's pioneers. She grew to womanhood in this community. In fact her entire life has been spent in Emmetsburg and the immediate vicinity. She was a strong, hearty, rugged girl. The day before she passed away she would doubtless have been picked out by most people as one of the longest livers in Emmetsburg. But such is the uncertainty of life, and no one realizes when his time will come. The deceased was a young lady of truly Christian zeal and was ever a regular and prompt attendant at church services, having been one of the most willing and helpful workers in Assumption congregation. She was practical in her religious professions and was always among the first to give assistance to the sick and to those in distress. For some time before she was taken ill she had spent many long and patient hours in caring for a sick neighbor. Little did she think that she would pass away before the friend whom she was aiding and encouraging. The deceased is survived by her aged mother and several brother and sisters, who have the sympathy of their many neighbors and friends in the great affliction that has so unexpectedly befallen them.

She was born 13 Jul 1849 in Stratford, Perth Co., Ontario, Canada (Source: St. Joseph's Church Records, Stratford, Ontario, Canada), and died 28 Mar 1909 in Walnut Township, Palo Alto Co., Iowa.
Notes for PATRICK RAYMOND JACKMAN:
Reflections on Patrick R. Jackman, as recalled by his granddaughter, Margaret Jackman Frailey, in 2001:
Patrick Jackman, my paternal grandfather, died seventy-four years ago at the age of 92. I was two and a half years old when he died so memories of him are all stories told to me by my Dad, my Aunt Ann (Jackman) and Uncle Tom Kirby -- with one exception. I do remember very clearly holding my Dad's hand and walking up the sidewalk at Aunt Ellie's house in Emmetsburg and seeing, sitting on the porch, a very old man with a white beard. It had to be Grandpa Jackman since he spent his last years with Aunt Ellie and Uncle Paul Schaney.
The following stories are the only ones I remember but I'm sure I heard many more which are now forgotten:
Patrick and Margaret Jackman had six daughters -- the ones we always called the Big Aunts. When they were young and would come home from a dance raving about some particular young man they had just met, Grandpa would usually ask, "Is he a big man or a little man? Does he have a watch?" Ownership of a watch would indicate the amount of prosperity the young man enjoyed.
When he heard his daughters praising one of these boyfriends -- suitors, in those days -- he would say, "That's fine, that's fine but be darn (damn?) careful who you marry."
Apparently Grandpa enjoyed reading and every week some paper he received would carry sermons by a Pastor Russell. When his daughters' boyfriends came to call he would always quiz them on these sermons so they had to come prepared. Some time ago, I happened to come across Pastor Russell's name in the dictionary and learned that he was the founder of Jehovah's Witnesses. So it seems Grandpa Jackman was ecumenical before ecumenism was cool.
One of my favorite sayings of Grandpa and I think it is an excellent insight into the man's character was "I'm glad how well you do." The Irish are often accused of being suspicious or jealous of anyone who achieves success or gets ahead financially especially if it happens suddenly. Being somewhat partisan I like to think that it was a quality ingrained in them in Ireland because suddenly "rich" people were usually suspected of being informers. Whatever the reason -- the "I'm glad how well you do" trait in Grandpa Jackman is an admirable one.
One last story -- it's about cosigning a note at a bank for a friend in need of a loan. Well, the friend subsequently died and Grandpa's reaction was "I only signed one note in my life and Zine Zonny died in the backhouse." Don't ask me who Zine Zonny was or how his name was really spelled -- we'll assume it was a nickname -- but I guess the poor man did die in the backhouse and left Grandpa to pay off the debt.
A parting thought -- for those who enjoy reading history it is a delight and a wonder to consider the great historical events, the changes and advances that Grandpa witnessed in his 92 years. He left Ireland when he was about fourteen years old -- the voyage, as my Dad recalls his father saying, took almost three months on a sailing ship. Grandpa died in 1927, the year that Lindbergh flew the ocean.
As recalled by Patrick's grandson, Dr. Raymond Jackman (son of Joseph Jackman), in 1966:
Grandpa Jackman served a few weeks with the State Militia in quelling the Indian massacre at Spirit Lake, Iowa. I can remember many Indian tales that he related -- since many redskins lived and roamed in that area -- how they would come to his log cabin to borrow or steal flour or sugar, etc. Grandpa was deafer than a post. My family lived about a mile west of Grandpa's and as a youth I would frequently walk to their home either to see them or go fishing or to pick gooseberries or black walnuts, of which there was an abundance along the river where they lived. He was always sitting in his rocking chair, smoking a dirty old smelly pipe and always had the same question -- "Did you see any snakes today, Raymond?" He never really cared whether I did or not, but it was a conversation piece....I would put down one final thought -- anyone born in the last 30 years has little conception of the way of the world during my youth. And I suspect the way of my youth was not too unlike my father's and his father's world. In retrospect, it was a rather happy existence -- a much more rigorous life.

Historical Sketch
Northern Border Brigade
(State Militia)
........While the records do not show that the State troops composing the Northern Border Brigade were ever engaged in serious conflicts with the Indians, they do show that they performed most important service and endured great hardships. During the time they were engaged in constructing the fortifications along the line of the frontier, they were in constant danger. Had the Indians proved too strong to overcome by the troops under General Sully's command that officer would have retreated to the State line and united his forces with those of the State. Upon more than one occasion before the works were completed, such a contingency seemed to occur. It is therefore evident that those hardy sons of Iowa-who braved the rigors of the northern winters and the risk of fierce conflict with the hostile tribes of Indians who had murdered so many of the hapless settlers on the frontier-are entitled to an honored place in the history of their Country's defenders. The descendants of those hardy pioneers, whose families and homes were saved from destruction, will ever hold in grateful remembrance the men who came to the rescue of their ancestors.

Lot Laughlin, while at Algona, met with five of the old settlers who accompanied him on Capt. Ingham's expedition to New Ulm, Minn. in 1863 to save the people of that section from the Indians. Among the others from this county who took that eventful trip were: Patrick Jackman, Jeremiah Crowley and J. T. and K. Mulroney. Mr. Laughlin hadn't seen his old companions in 41 years.

Recalled Pioneer Days
Lot Laughlin and J. P. Crowley Attended Ft. Defiance Exercises.
Lot Laughlin and J. P. Crowley were at Estherville Friday attending the unveiling of the Ft. Defiance monument. There was a large attendance. The exercises were of patriotic and pleasing character. Harvey Ingham, editor of the Register and Leader, delivered a very interesting address on the battles among the Indians for supremacy in northern Iowa and the subsequent struggle between the Indians and the white settlers. His father, Capt. W. H. Ingham, of Algona, who is now 84 years of age, was present and delivered an address on Saturday. Captain Ingham was in command of the Border Brigade in 1862 and 1863. There were 45 men under him and they idolized him. Most of them were from this and neighboring counties. There were six from Palo Alto: Lot Laughlin, J. P. Crowley, P. R. Jackman, Joseph Mulroney, Keiran Mulroney and Fayette Carter. Only the first named three are living. Their work was to protect the frontier settlements from the Indians, the New Ulm massacre having occurred about that time. Posts were established every few miles from St. Paul to Sioux City. The Iowa posts were supported by the state. Each man who owned a horse drew $28.50 per month. Messrs. Laughlin, Crowley, and Jackman often tell about interesting incidents that occurred while they were on duty. Only ten or twelve of the 45 who served were present at Friday's exercises. Most of the others are dead. The older and better developed the country becomes the more interesting is the history of the frontier experiences

They Deserve Pensions
A movement is on foot to have the surviving members of the Border Bridgade of 1863 pensioned by the general government. Lot Laughlin, Patrick Jackman and J. P. Crowley of this county were members of the famous organization. They rendered our country patriotic and timely service during a most trying period and their claims are entitled to favorable recognition. We hope Congressman Woods, Scott and Connolly and Senators Cummins and Kenyon and the other big guns from our state will urge early and favorable action on the proposition.

Mr. P. R. Jackman was in Emmetsburg Wednesday. He told us that word had come to Graettinger the first of the week of the death of Mrs. Mary Smith of Chester, South Dakota. The deceased came to her death by burning. She was starting a fire with kerosene and the can exploded throwing the burning oil all over her. She was so severely burned that death ensued in a short time. The maiden name of the deceased was Mary Stewart and the family resided for a number of years west of Osgood on the place now owned by John Hester. The family will be remembered by the old neighbors up in that locality. Mrs. Smith's tragic and untimely death will be deeply regretted by all.

A Survivor of the Old Irish Colony
A short time ago P. R. Jackman of Walnut township came to Emmetsburg to live with his daughter, Mrs. Paul Schaney. He is quite advanced in years and, though fairly rugged, is not so nimble as he was a number of years ago. He desires to be close to church in his declining years and he finds Mrs. Schaney's home only a short distance from the Assumption edifice. Mr. Jackman is the only survivor of the older members of the original Irish colony. He came to Palo Alto county sixty-two years ago and has since proven himself one of the most active, useful and deserving citizens of our county. He is a gentleman of most exemplary habits and he is scrupulously upright. To know him is to respect him for his sincerity, his candor, his sense of honor and his lofty regard for Christian principles. The people of our community are pleased indeed to have among them as a permanent resident the only survivor of the plucky pioneers who located on our bleak prairies sixty-two years ago, and hopes he will enjoy many years of health and happiness with his daughter, his numerous relatives and his many devoted friends.

THE PATRICK R. JACKMAN LOG CABIN
Will Be In Parade Fourth. To Be Placed In Harrison Park.
Mrs. Walter G. Middleton informs us that the Daughters of the American Revolution of this city have secured the Patrick R. Jackman log cabin in Walnut township, which Mr. Jackman was generous enough to give them. It was built 65 years ago. It is still in fairly good condition but will need some repairs. It will be used on a float in the parade on July Fourth, after which it will be placed in a good position in Harrison Park where it will be preserved. It will be a reminder of the experiences of the members of the first Irish settlement in our county. We congratulate the ladies on securing such a historic landmark. It will be prized during the years to come. Mr. Jackman, who lives with his daughter, Mrs. Paul Schaney, of this city, is still in good health. He will doubtless occupy a front seat on the float July Fourth.

PIONEER OF CITY CALLED AWAY
Patrick R. Jackman Answers
Final Summons Thursday
Morning of Last Week
Though not unexpected the death of P. R. Jackman which occurred at 6:50 Thursday morning, Nov. 3, brought sorrow to a large circle of friends as well as to the immediate family.
Funeral services were held at St. Thomas' church at 9:30 Saturday morning. Rev. M. J. McNerney officiated and celebrated a solemn requiem high mass assisted by Very Rev. J. G. Murtagh of the Assumption parish, Rev. J. J. Kelly of Graettinger and Rev. Doyle of Woodstock, Minn.
The pallbearers were the six grandchildren of the deceased, John and Robert Laughlin, John and Leo Schaney and James and William Jackman.
Mr. Jackman had been poorly for years. The infirmity of old age rendered him helpless. For two weeks it was realized that death might come at any time. He had been making his home with his daughter, Mrs. Paul Schaney, where he had been given every possible care and attention up to the last moment of his life.
Patrick Jackman was born in the County Kilkenny, Ireland, in March, 1836. When he was only eight years of age he was bereft of both father and mother. He came to America with his two brothers, Michael and William Jackman and a sister, Mary, in 1850. They located near Elgin, Ill., where they resided for six years. In 1856 he came to Palo Alto county and settled on a farm in Walnut township. He was a member of the original Irish colony of this county. The old log house in which he lived was the first built in the county and now stands in Harrison Park, a monument to the bravery and courage of these old settlers, as well as marking an event in the early history of the county.
Mr. Jackman truly witnessed all of the trials and hardships common to the pioneers. He assisted in suppressing the attacks of the Indians in these early days. We have heard him relate the story of what was known as the Spirit Lake Massacre many times and this story was a thrilling one.
On September 8, 1868, Mr. Jackman united in marriage with Miss Margaret Brennan. The marriage took place at Boonsboro, Iowa. They established their home on the Walnut farm. Mr. Jackman had erected a new log house for his bride. It was one of the best and most substantial homes in the county at that time, and later formed a part of the larger and more commodious home which they built. There was no happier home anywhere than this. Here their children were born and raised. Here they bravely met their trials together and together enjoyed the better things of life.
Mrs. Jackman died in March 1909. Mr. Jackman continued his residence on the old farm until about ten years ago, when he came to Emmetsburg and established his home with his daughter, Mrs. Paul Schaney, where he subsequently resided.
For seventy-one years he was a citizen of this county. Perhaps no citizen was better known than he. He lived to the age of 91 years. His life was marked the whole way with good deeds of generosity, honesty, kindliness and charity. He loved his fellowmen and wished good to everyone. His motives were all good. He dealt with everyone fairly and squarely, and with the simplicity of a child he trusted everyone. Nor was he deceived, for he gave to the world the best he had and the best came back to him. He provided well for his family, and his home was one of the most hospitable in the county. His door was open and a hand of welcome was extended to everyone.
Fourteen children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Jackman. Three sons, Joseph, Patrick C. and Francis, of this place and six daughters survived them. The daughters are Mrs. Paul Schaney, Mrs. P. F. Conlon, Mrs. Robt. Laughlin of this place, Mrs. Bid Kane of Onawa, Mrs. T. J. Kirby of Sioux City and Miss Alice Jackman of Woodstock,Minnesota. They were all with their father when he died and all were in attendance at his funeral.
They will ever entertain fond memories of their father. They will be unable to recall any uncertain actions in his life that will cause them even a fleeting thought of shame. A gentleman - earnest, dutiful and true, too sincere to hide a fault, too manly to shirk a duty, too honest not to do unto others as he would have others do unto him, is the image they will retain of the man whom they always found a wise counselor, a gentle, loving, solicitous father and friend, as well as a thorough Christian, a loyal citizen and a man of sterling worth. They will miss him and though he lived to a good ripe old age, they will find many lonely moments when they will keenly regret his death.
To them the Tribune extends sincere sympathy.

P. R. Jackman, Pioneer, Died This Morning
Came to Palo Alto in 1856
Helped to Suppress Indian Massacre at Spirit Lake
P. R. Jackman died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Paul Schaney, at 6:30 this morning, at the age of 91. Old age is the only cause that can be given for his death. For the past year he has gradually failed and was confined to his bed most of the time. But his attending physician could find no physical defects of any kind except for the inevitable toll of time.
Mr. Jackman was born in Kilkenny, Ireland in March 1836. His parents died when he was eight years of age. With his two brothers and one sister he came to America at the age of 14, and lived near Elgin, Ill. until 1856, at which time he came to Palo Alto county, and settled on a farm in the first log house in this county. (Which historic monument is in Harrison Park at present, in a preserved state). He lived on the same farm for 62 years, and was active in its operation until he came to live with his daughter, Mrs. Paul Schaney, ten years ago.
He was married in September, 1868, to Margaret Brennan, at Boone, Iowa. Fourteen children were born to them, nine of whom are living: Joe, Patrick Charles, Mrs. Paul Schaney, Mrs. Pat Conlon, Mrs. Robert Laughlin and Francis, all of Emmetsburg, Mrs. Bid Kane, of Onawa, Mrs. T. J. Kirby, of Sioux City, and Alice, of Woodstock, Minn. All of them were in Emmetsburg when their father passed away.
Mr. Jackman was a volunteer soldier in the forces who suppressed the Indians at the time of the Spirit Lake massacre. He acted as one of the guards on the frontier, from Chain Lakes, Minn., to Sioux City, at a time when the redskins hovered menacingly over the lives of the white settlers.
We must leave to the pioneers of our county the matter of describing Mr. Jackman's career. Only those who shared the early hardships with him can do justice to such an exceptional character. Only those who witnessed his brave, unflinching fight against pioneer sufferings could realize what an upbuilding force he was in the life of our county. The bitter cold of prairie winters, the hovering savage, the crop plagues - all left his spirit undaunted, in his triumphant march in the name of civilization.
As part of the present generation which is following in the paths smoothed and bedded for us by the like of Mr. Jackman, we can only stand by in admiration, and wonder at such a sturdy character. A stalwart example of self-sacrifice, of love, of faith in his God, he is indeed an object worthy of imitation.
He has passed on to a well-earned reward. Regardless of age, a father is a potential force to his family. Though his death was expected and though the ravages of time had incapacitated him, his surviving children must keenly feel his departure. The fact that he lived to such a ripe old age just adds to many more lovable memories which they must not forget. To them we offer sympathy.

Shush! Another Job For Commandos!
A pioneer Palo Alto County cabin occupied by the Jackman family about a century ago has been sold to Speer Brothers of Emmet County who are moving it to the east shore of Ingham Lake where they are developing a residential area.
THE CABIN was on former Jackman property on the west river road north of Emmetsburg now owned by Tom Guess, local contractor.
The cabin has been up for sale for months and various groups considered acquiring it, including Emmetsburg business men, Graettinger business men and the Speer Brothers, who will feature its historical significance.
A wing of the old log cabin has long been an historical attraction in Harrison Park.
AMONG individuals interested in the cabin is Dwight G. McCarty, widely known author and attorney, his books including "History of Palo Alt County, Iowa," now out of print and still in demand.
"This cabin is an historical treasure," McCarty told The Democrat Wednesday, "so much so I offered the Speer Brothers a check for it this week but they declined to sell."
"I would like to have seen it in our county. The Robert Emmet statue was lost to us many years but then one day it suddenly returned to the court house square."
"The cabin is of similar significance to the county's history. Maybe we should send our 'Commandos' after it, too."

Pioneer Log Cabin Moved To Ingham Lake By Spears
A pioneer log cabin, believed to be more than a century old, has been moved by Nicholas and Wm. Spear to their East Shore Lots at Ingham Lake.
The log cabin was moved last week from the Tom Guess farm, south of Graettinger on the river road. The Spears purchased the cabin from Guess who said several Emmetsburg and Graettinger men had inquired about the cabin but had taken no steps toward its purchase.
The moving of the cabin to Emmet county has caused comment from Emmetsburg residents. The Emmetsburg Democrat recently published an article which stated: "A wing of the old log cabin has long been an attraction in Harrison Park and it is a Palo Alto historical treasure."
The cabin is heavy and was 20 feet high when it was being moved, Spear said. At one point, even with a road maintainer moving ahead, the cabin got stuck on a hill and had to be pulled over the hill by the maintainer. Overhead lines had to be removed so they would clear the cabin.
In speaking of criticism by Palo Alto county residents of the removal of the cabin to Emmet county, Nick Spear said: "We made a legitimate deal with Tom Guess and from all we have been told the Palo Alto people had been given plenty of opportunity to buy it before we ever knew of it."
"We plan to preserve it and use it to house some of the historical items we already own. Eventually we hope to move it to a grove of trees and put a protective metal roof over it."
The house was originally occupied by a Jackman family with ten children. Francis Jackman, the last baby born in the house, formerly lived at Emmetsburg but is now with a daughter in Decatur, Iowa. A sister of his lives in Mason City and the Spears plan to visit her and make a recording of her pioneer day memories.
The Spears hope to furnish the cabin with typical pioneer furnishings.

Pioneer Cabin Is Now Located On Ingham Lake
A pioneer Palo Alto County cabin purchased recently by Speer Brothers of Emmet County has been moved to the east shore lot area on Ingham Lake.
Speer Brothers plan to display the cabin for its historical interest and intend to furnish it with authentic furniture of the 1880's.
The cabin was transported on a low-boy trailer operated by Hugh Flannegan of Emmetsburg, and reportedly made the 20 mile trip in excellent shape, despite one incident.
The only hitch in the entire trip came when the truck, which was being towed up a sharp hill by the Emmet County road maintainer, faltered in the soft roadbed and stalled. The two machines hesitated at a point of equilibrium just long enough for crewmen to slip blocks under the rear wheels of Flannegan's truck, keeping it from plunging back down the steep incline.
The maintainer then unhooked and proceeded to the top of the hill and solid ground. From here the maintainer lugged the truck and cabin up and over. Nicholas Speer said that this was the only trouble experienced in the moving and it is hoped the cabin soon will be an historical attraction at Ingham.
____________________
November 2003 - According to Marilyn Mugan - Per Tom Guess, last owner of the Patrick Jackman farmhouse before Tom tore it down in Feb. 1964 to build a new home for his family on the same spot, Tom said Francis Jackman told him that the little cabin that was in the Park was the first cabin Patrick Jackman built when he first came out here as a single guy—spent one year in it and started building the bigger cabin.

Notes for MARGARET BRENNAN:
Reflections on Margaret Brennan Jackman, as recalled by her granddaughter, Margaret Jackman Frailey, in 2001:
About Grandma Jackman I know very little -- she died many years before I was born. I only recall the tale about Indians camping on the river below the farm and coming into the house to take food. She also acted as midwife for many women in the area. The most amusing story is the often repeated one about her leading the saying of the Litany of the Saints during evening prayers. She would always include the names of the neighbors -- Martin Coonan, Billy Shea, etc. -- to which Grandpa being quite deaf would reply, "Pray for us!" In spite of the hardships of those days she never seemed to have lost her sense of humor. I inherited a cedar chest from my Aunt Ann Jackman Kirby and in the bottom of it was an old knitted wool hat which I'm sure belonged to my Grandmother. Unfortunately, like my memory, the bonnet is long gone.

Mrs. Patsie Jackman met with rather a serious accident last Thursday afternoon. She and Mr. Jackman were going somewhere in a single buggy, when the horse shied and threw both of them out of the vehicle. Mr. Jackman escaped with a few slight bruises, but Mrs. Jackman was not so fortunate, for being quite large her fall was more severe and she sustained a broken rib and collar bone, and was otherwise bruised. Dr. Powers was called and attended her injuries and at last report she was improving slowly but steadily.

DIED LAST SUNDAY EVENING
Mrs. P. R. Jackman, One of Our County's Pioneer Ladies.
Mrs. Patrick R. Jackman died at her home in Walnut township Sunday evening, at 9:15, after a serious illness of four weeks, though she had not been rugged for about seven years. The funeral will be held this morning. There will be a solemn high mass at Assumption church at 10 o'clock. Father Kelly, pastor of the deceased, will officiate. The burial will be in St. John's cemetery.
Margaret Brennan was born at West Stratford, Ontario, August 8, 1848. Something over 40 years ago her parents moved to Iowa, living for a short time in Boone county. She was married at Boonsboro, September 18, 1868, to Patrick R. Jackman, Father Delaney officiating. Soon after they became residents of this county, living on the present homestead. Mr. and Mrs. Jackman were the parents of fourteen children, ten of whom are living. The sons are Joseph, P. C., John and Francis. The daughters are Mesdames Paul Schaney, P. F. Conlon, Eugene Kane, and Robert Laughlin and Misses Anna and Alice Jackman. The husband is still living. There are two brother of the deceased in this locality - M. F. and Edward Brennan. There are also four sisters - Mrs. D. Sherlock, Mrs. M. Joynt, Mrs. P. Leahy and Mrs. Mugan, the latter residing at Jefferson, Iowa.
The deceased was widely known throughout the county, Mr. Jackman having been a member of the original Irish colony. He is one of the three survivors. Hence their home was one that was frequently visited by pioneers and by those who, in later years, came to make there abode in this county. It is needless to say they ever found Mrs. Jackman among the most cheerful and open hearted of the hospitable, neighborly women of her race. The tired and perhaps forlorn stranger who found his way to the Jackman fireside at nightfall was never turned away but, on the contrary, was given the best that the time or the occasion afforded. Mrs. Jackman was particularly good-natured and she was lively and witty. Unless the circumstance required solemnity, there was no gloom when she was about. She made others mirthful by her hearty laughter and others happy by the spirit of contentment that characterized her words and her actions. She made sunshine in the lives of others, often those who needed the solace of hopefulness and good cheer. Still, she never neglected serious duties, never lost sight of the important responsibilities of the exemplary Christian wife and mother. How watchfully and zealously she provided for the many necessities, both temporal and spiritual, of her several sons and daughters, is well manifested in their commendable industry and in their meritorious lives. She was tenaciously loyal to her religious professions, regarding humble obedience to divine authority and precepts as her first and most essential obligation as a member of society. Providence was generous to her and she truly appreciated the many blessings she received. Many years were given to her and she used them to manifest, in her own edifying career and, in the lives of others, as far as her influence could be felt, the graces and the blessings that are so generously given by the bounteous bestower of all good gifts to those who need them and are worthy of them. She has passed from the midst of those who knew her so long and who loved her so tenderly and so fondly. The lips are motionless, the sweet, familiar voice has been hushed, and the solicitous, motherly heart has been stilled, but her prudent counsel, her edifying and enabling example, her spirit of self-sacrifice for the weal of others will, during the years that are to come, be felt in the aspirations, the purposes, and the actions of many who knew her and respected her. The aged husband, whose head is bowed in grief and the several sons, daughters and other relatives have the sympathy of the entire community in their sorrow.

Mrs. Patrick Jackman
The death of Mrs. Patrick Jackman took place at her home in Walnut township Sunday evening shortly after nine o'clock. Her last illness was over four weeks in duration and was some disease of the liver and stomach.
The funeral was held from Assumption Church in this city Wednesday morning at ten o'clock. Rev. Kelly of Graettinger officiated. The interment was made in St. John's cemetery.
The deceased maiden name was Margaret Brennan and she was born in West Stratton, Ontario, Canada, August 8th, 1848. When she was but a girl her parents came to this state and settled in Boone County. She was married to Patrick Jackman at Boonesborough, September, 18th, 1868.
Shortly after their marriage they came to this county to reside and have been residents of the county ever since. To Mr. and Mrs. Jackman fourteen children were born of these ten are living to mourn the death of their mother. These are Joseph, Patrick C., John and Francis Jackman; Mrs. Robert Laughlin, Mrs. Paul Schany, Mrs. P. F. Conlon, Mrs. Eugene Kane, and the Misses Alice and Anna Jackman.
She was one of the best known women of the county. The Jackman home was known far and near for its open hospitality and for the generous welcome that all received who crossed its threshold. Amid her duties as housewife and mother Mrs. Jackman found time to extend her welcome and give comfort and cheer to all with whom she came in contact. Her life was more especially a home life and nobly and well did she fulfill this part of her life's work. She did her work well in this life and has been called hence to fulfill her mission in that better life that is beyond the ken of man. The bereaved husband and children have the sympathy of the entire community in their irreparable loss of wife and mother.

Notes for JAMES JACKMAN:
November 7, 1885
The sad news reaches us of the death, by lightning, last evening, about 5 o'clock, of Patrick Jackman's son James, aged 10 years, while driving calves from the pasture on horseback. Mr. Jackman's farm in located in Walnut township, six miles north of Emmetsburg. The father found his son a few minutes after the fatal accident, lying on the ground with his face downward, and the horse stretched dead ten feet distant. The sympathy of the community is extended to the parents of the unfortunate boy, who was a bright and promising lad. The funeral services will be conducted by Rev. J. J. Smith, on Sunday.

One of the saddest affairs which ever happened in this county, and which caused the deepest of sorrow for another family, occurred in Walnut township between four and five o'clock on Friday afternoon. Little Jimmy Jackman, aged ten years, son of Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Jackman, took his pony and started for an adjoining field for the purpose of driving a number of calves home. Not returning, Mr. Jackman started in pursuit of the little fellow and had not gone more than 100 rods in the direction of the calves, when to
his horror, he discovered his son and the pony which he had been riding, lying dead, both having been struck by lightning. In all probability, death was instantaneous as the boy and the horse were lying side-by-side. The funeral service took place at the Catholic church in Emmetsburg on Sunday. Mr. Jackman and family have the sympathy of the entire community in this their sad hour of bereavement.

During the storm of last Friday afternoon, James Jackman, son of Patsey Jackman, of Walnut township, was struck by lightning and instantly killed while herding cattle on the prairie. The pony which he was riding was also killed by the same stroke of lightning. This was a sad and unexpected blow to Mr. and Mrs. Jackman, and they will have the sympathy of all their neighbors and friends. The funeral was held in the Catholic Church on Sunday last, and the remains well followed to their rest by about two hundred teams.

Spies paid Mrs. Kane $5,000. She was suing him for $8,000 which she loaned the Spies and Jackman Land company. Since then John Jackman, her brother, was killed by a train and there was not enough funds in his estate to settle Mrs. Kane's claim so she brought suit against Spies.

The Late Eugene Kane
Funeral Services Held at St. Thomas Church on Monday
The sad accident at Estherville on Friday night in which Eugene Kane lost his life, is reported elsewhere in this issue. The remains were brought to this city Saturday evening. The funeral was held Monday forenoon. Services were conducted at St. Thomas church, Father McNerny celebrating a solemn requiem mass. He was assisted in the ceremonies by Father Kelly of Graettinger and Father Farrelly and Father Savage of this city. The burial was in St. John's cemetery. There was a very large attendance. The pall bearers were six nephews of the deceased - Leo Schaney, George Kane, Emmet Jackman, and Eugene, James and Matthew Kane. The Knights of Columbus attended the
funeral in a body and the Elks and U. T. C. were also represented by members.
Mr. Kane was the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Kane. He was born at Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, June 30, 1881. His age was 39. He came to Palo Alto county with his mother and brothers when he was 18 years of age. He was united in marriage to Miss Bridget Jackman June 1, 1901. Some time after their marriage they moved to this city, subsequently residing in our community. He kept a billiard hall in the Iowa Opera House block. He was popular and enjoyed a profitable patronage.
Mr. Kane is survived by his wife , one sister, Mrs. John Halsbrook, and four brothers - James, Will and John of Emmetsburg and Henry of Oconomowoc, Wisconsin.
The sad tragedy of Friday night has cast a shadow of gloom over the entire community. Mr. Kane was a bright, pleasant, happy, whole souled young man. He was genial, obliging and companionable and was always ready to give and take. He was a good judge of human nature and was a successful mixer. He was well acquainted in this and surrounding counties and his staunch friends could be counted by the hundred. He was a member of the U. C. T., the Elks and the Knights of Columbus. He was public spirited and he was never backward about lending a helping had to every worthy community enterprise. He and Mrs. Kane were fond of social recreation and they were always prepared to do their part to add to the enjoyment and the happiness of the many among whom in was their good fortune to mingle. Mr. Kane's years, his health, his strength and his opportunities were such that he had much to hope for and much to strive to attain. But the ways of Providence are beyond our comprehension. We may, in our judgment, plan discreetly and wisely and with the most painstaking care, but how often do our most promising anticipations fail to materialize. No one is sure of tomorrow. No person can foresee with certainty what a day may bring. It may be joy and it may be disappointment and bitter anguish. Our inability to glance behind the curtain that hides from us the future must be for the best. Providence we are assured makes no mistakes. The infinitely wise, solicitous God knows better than we do our many needs and he is bound to reward a thousand fold every sorrow burdened, confiding heart. Mr. Kane's death under any circumstances, would have been sad, but his taking off under the deplorable conditions stated without giving him a moment for reflection, is the cause of keen disappointment to his wife and brothers. The heartfelt sympathy of all goes out to them in their great sorrow.

EUGENE KANE
Few there are in the county, perhaps, who have not before this heard of the terrible accident at Estherville on Friday night, wherein Eugene Kane of this city came to his death. Elsewhere in this issue we give the facts of the accident as we have been able to gather from those who witnessed it. From the time the engine struck the auto in which Mr. Kane was riding and threw him on the ground, he lived only about a half an hour. He was taken to the hospital and physicians were summoned, but it was beyond their power to render him any valuable assistance. When it was seen how seriously he was injured an auto was sent at once for the local priest who reached the hospital in time to be with him when he died.
The body was brought here for burial Saturday evening. Funeral services were conducted at St. Thomas church at 9:30 Monday morning, when a solemn high mass was celebrated.
Rev. M. McNerney was celebrant, Very Rev. P. F. Farrelly, deacon, Rev. J. Kelly of Graettinger sub-deacon and Rev. L. J. Savage master of ceremonies.
The remains were laid to rest in St. John's cemetery. The deceased was born at Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, on June 30, 1881. When seventeen years of age he came to this county with his mother, Mrs. Margaret Kane and the other members of the family. They located on a farm in Walnut township. Gene was the youngest of a family of six children. He remained at home on the farm. On June 1st, 1909, he united in marriage with Miss Bridget Jackman. They established their home on the home farm. His mother died on August 2, 1912. Two years later they moved to Emmetsburg and have since made their home here. Mr. Kane engaged in the land business for some time and later bought a pool hall and owned the latter business at the time of his death.
He was a K of C, an Elk and a U. C. T. Possibly no one in the community was better known as Gene Kane, and practically every one in the community so addressed him. He was a splendid mixer and readily formed acquaintances and made friends. He was generous, frank, kind hearted and enjoyed the company of his fellow men. He was not prone to fault finding, but on the contrary was exceptionally charitable in his interpretation of the words and deeds of others. He was noted for his ready defense of an absent one who was being adversely criticized. He was a favorite, especially with children and this was one of his best recommendations he could get as a man of kind and generous impulses; for a child is quick and keen in detecting any deception upon the part of an older person and quite as quick to resent
it. Though he never had a child of his own he loved children and found great pleasure in making them happy. As a son and brother he was kind and devoted. To his wife he was most companionable and no couple in the community enjoyed mutual companionship to a greater extent than they. Both possessed happy, carefree dispositions and thus got great enjoyment out of life. They smiled at vexations and treated the trials that came to them as a matter of course. All who knew them realized that they were a very happy couple.
The shock of his sudden death was a trial greater than most people are called upon to bear, yet Mrs. Kane proved herself a brave, true woman under her sorrow; and she exemplified a Christian fortitude that was truly edifying. There is not a heart in the community which has not been touched with sincere sympathy for her. Not a person who witnessed her pain, and yet noted her self control, who did not admire her for it.
Besides his wife, Mr. Kane leaves four brothers, John, James and Will Kane of this city, Henry Kane of Oconomowac, Wisconsin, and one sister, Mrs. John Halsbrook also of Oconomowac to mourn him. They share the sympathy of all in their bereavement. One sister, Mrs. Mary Mingle, died some years ago.

Marriage Notes for BRIDGET JACKMAN and EUGENE KANE:
Emmetsburg Democrat, June 3, 1908
Were Married Monday
Mr. Eugene J. Kane and Miss Bridget Jackman were united in marriage at the Graettinger Catholic church Monday morning, Rev. J. Kelly
performing the ceremony. The bride was attended by her sister, Miss Anna Jackman, and the groom by his brother, Mr. Wm. Kane. The wedding dinner was served at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. P. R. Jackman, of Walnut township. Only a few relatives and friends were in attendance. Mr. and Mrs. Kane left on the evening train for Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, where they will visit his relatives and old friends for a few days, after which they will go to Chicago to spend a short time. On their return, they will commence housekeeping on their farm in Walnut.
The bride is a member of one of the respected pioneer families of northern Iowa. The well merited regard in which she is held in the
community that has known her since childhood is the highest tribute that can be paid to her worthiness as a young lady. She has a wide circle of friends throughout the county, all of whom are delighted to know that she is to remain among them. The groom is a young man of uprightness, industry and force of character. From a business standpoint, he has made good, considering his years, and his friends are confident that a successful and an honorable career awaits him. The Democrat wishes the happy couple a bright and a happy honeymoon journey.

A Verdict For Plaintiff
The Hester - Jackman Damage Case Attracts Much Interest
The damage case of Ambrose Hester vs. John Jackman occupied the attention of the court Thursday, Friday and Saturday and attracted a great deal of attention. Saturday night the jury was given the case. After deliberating all night an agreement was reached but the verdict was not opened and read until the convening of court Monday morning. It gave the plaintiff damages to the amount of $100. He sued for $1,000. Early last summer, it appears, Messrs. Hester and Jackman met on the road some distance northwest of this city and a rather spirited dispute about the pasturing of some cattle took place. Mr. Hester was driving home from the creamery and Mr. Jackman was coming to town on horseback. The latter was accompanied by W. B. Jackson. Mr. Hester claims that Mr. Jackman had a large whip in his hand and that he attempted to strike him with it, but missed him and that his team ran away throwing him out and fracturing one of his legs and otherwise injuring him. He alleges that he was laid up for several weeks and he sued for damages, loss of time, doctor's bill, etc. Mr. Jackman denied that he struck at him and claimed that the team had on previous occasions run away. He said that he had been trailing the whip and that he simply threw it across his shoulder and that he had no intention of striking plaintiff. Mr. Jackson, who was the only outside witness to the affair, swore that he saw Jackman raise the whip and swing it in the direction of Hester, but that he did not see where it struck, but heard a noise as if it struck the milk cans. Lot Laughlin claimed that he was talking with Jackson the next day and that the latter denied that Jackman had struck Hester or struck at him. Myles McNally also talked with Jackson and testified to practically the same as Mr. Laughlin. Mrs. Rogers and her son testified to the injured condition of Mr. Hester's limb, the son claiming that when he went to the road to where Hester was lying, he heard Hester tell Jackman that he should not have struck at him and that Jackman did not reply. Dr. O'Brien, who attended Hester, swore that one of the bones of the limb had been fractured about three inches above the joint. Drs. Powers and Van Gorden, of this city, and Dr. Burdick, of Graettinger, who examined the limb several months later, claimed that they could not find any evidence of a fracture. Dr. Burdick said he was positive that there had been no fracture, but Dr. Van Gorden would not say this and thought the attending physician ought to know the most about the matter. There were other witnesses who testified to minor matters but the above is a synopsis of the principal evidence.
Mr. Hester was represented by Davidson & Burt and Mr. Jackman by Kelly & Kelly. Both sides put up a hard fight. The defendant says he will appeal to the Supreme Court.

John Jackman Meets With Mishap.
Monday evening while riding a horse, John Jackman met with an accident that might have cost him his life. He was driving cattle a short distance north of Osgood when his horse stepped off the track and fell. Mr. Jackman was thrown beneath the animal. The horse was in such a position that it could not get up quickly and lunged about considerably before the rider could release himself. Mr. Jackman had his left shoulder bones dislocated. Dr. VanGorden was promptly summoned and succeeded in rendering all the relief that could be expected under the circumstances. Mr. Jackman was able to come to Dr. VanGorden's office yesterday and was feeling pretty well.

John Jackman Killed When Train Hits Auto
GRAETTINGER BUSINESS MAN CUT DOWN IN PRIME OF LIFE IN TERRIBLE CROSSING TRAGEDY
ANTONE GUERDET SEVERELY INJURED
Antone Guerdet, Former Graettinger Man, Severely Injured In The Accident; Was Taken To His Home In Armstrong; Mr. Jackman Died At Colman Hospital Where He Was Rushed For Treatment
One of the saddest accidents that this community has been called upon to bear occurred Wednesday forenoon when a Rock Island passenger train crashed into the John Jackman auto, injuring him so badly that he died within two hours. Antone Guerdet of Armstrong, son of Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Guerdet, of Crookston, Minnesota, was in the car with him at the time and received several broken ribs, some minor gashes and cuts and possibly internal injuries though he was resting quite easily during the afternoon. Mr. Guerdet was taken to his home at Armstrong and Mr. Jackman was carried on the train to Estherville and rushed to Colman hospital. He was injured so badly that it was realized nothing could be done for him. His wife and other members of the family were notified and started immediately for his bed side but he passed away before they reached him. The accident happened at 11:30. The passenger train that struck the ill fated car was the Dows train due into Estherville at 12:16. The accident happened at a crossing one half mile east of Armstrong. The crossing is said to be an unusually dangerous one. The auto road parallels the railroad track for some distance and a large grove obstructs the view at the crossing. The two men were riding in an enclosed car and it would be extremely doubtful if the occupants of the car could hear the warning whistle. Engineer Pat Sullivan and Fireman Baske were on the front end and Conductor O'Neill was in charge of the train. The engine struck the car on the side of the driver. The vehicle was thrown back about fifty feet and is a complete wreck. Mr. Jackman was struck on the left side. His skull was injured and both legs broken. He was partly conscious until he reached the hospital. Mr. Guerdet was injured as stated above but on Wednesday evening the attending physicians were unable to determine how seriously he may have been injured internally. Mr. Jackman died at 1:15, less than two hours after the accident. The remains will arrive in Graettinger this afternoon and the funeral will be held at the Catholic church Saturday morning at ten o'clock.
The report of his death cast a shadow of sorrow and gloom over the community. The sad news was almost unbelievable coming like a flash of lightning out of a clear sky. He was one of the most popular citizens of Graettinger, was known by nearly everyone and was well liked. All his acquaintances were his friends and his sad and unfortunate death is felt as a personal sorrow by the people of our community.
The victims of this terrible crossing tragedy were friends and companions since boyhood. They resided on neighboring farms in South Walnut township when young men. Both were interested in the purchase and sale of livestock and it was on a business mission of this kind that the two men were bound when the sad accident occurred.
A telephone inquiry to Mrs. Antone Guerdet of Armstrong this noon states that Mr. Guerdet is getting along very nicely. He had two ribs broken, was bruised and cut but will apparently be all right within a few days. The shock to the nervous system was, of course, a severe one and will take time to recover. He and Mr. Jackman had stopped at the Earnest Smith home, the place where the accident occurred. They talked over some business matters and had just left his place. The railroad crossing was at the end of his grove. As they drove out of his yard Mr. Smith heard the engineer whistle once or twice for the crossing and he watched the car as he realized the driver would be unable to hear the warning. He was an eyewitness to the tragedy. The engine struck the car on Mr. Jackman's side. The machine was carried ahead a few feet and then thrown clear of the track. Mr. Guerdet was thrown possibly fifty feet from the wreckage. He says that he and Mr. Jackman did not see or hear the train until the crash occurred.

The Graettinger Times, Thursday Nov. 24, 1921
Funeral of John Jackman Was Largely Attended
Was Held At Catholic church Saturday Morning At Ten O'Clock; Interment In Parochial Cemetery; Was One Of The Largest Funerals Ever Held In Graettinger
The funeral of John Jackman, mention of whose sad death was made in last week's Times, was held Saturday morning. Services were conducted at the Catholic church at ten o'clock. A solemn requiem high mass was celebrated. The Rev. Father Kelly officiated, assisted by Fathers McInerney of Emmetsburg and Conway of Estherville. William Dunigan and T. F. Rutledge and Mrs. Dan Kelly and Miss DeGonda of Emmetsburg assisted the choir with the appropriate music for a requiem mass. The large church was packed to capacity by relatives and friends of the deceased. The Knights of Columbus, of which Mr. Jackman had been an active member for many years, accompanied the remains to the church. Fully one hundred members of the order were in line. The side altars and the rear of the communion rails were banked with flowers and many floral offerings were in evidence at the home and at the cemetery. Father Kelly preached a scholarly and impressive sermon on "The Kingdom of Heaven". He paid a beautiful tribute to the faith of the man who had met such an unfortunate end. He also spoke feelingly on his worth to the community, evidenced by the universal expression of genuine sorrow caused by his death. From the church, the large procession wended its way to the Catholic cemetery where all that was mortal of John Jackman were placed in their final resting place. The pall bearers were Fred Spies, V. L. O'Connor, Leo Kolb, William Eagan, Dr. A. J. Joynt and William Nolan.
John Jackman was born in South Walnut township April 2, 1882. Hence he was 39 years of age last April. The family made their home on the Jackman homestead until the death of his mother some years ago, and his father, Patrick R. Jackman, moved to Emmetsburg to make his future home. The deceased remained on the old home place for a number of years and was engaged in farming. On June 29, 1916, he was united in marriage to Miss Agnes Spies of this city. Since that time they have made their home in this city with Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Spies. Mr. Jackman owned a number of farms in this vicinity and was actively engaged in the livestock business. He had good business judgment and he prospered in his various lines of activity. He is survived by his wife, by his aged father, Patrick R. Jackman of Emmetsburg and six sisters and three brothers. The sisters are Mrs. Paul Schany, Mrs. Robert Laughlin and Mrs. Gene Kane of Emmetsburg; Mrs. P. F. Conlon of Sioux Falls; Mrs. T. J. Kirby of Sioux City; and Miss Alice Jackman of Worthington. The brothers are Patrick Charles and Joe Jackman of Emmetsburg and Francis of this locality.
The death of Mr. Jackman removes from our community one of its most complimentary and influential citizens. Residing his residence in Graettinger, he had, in his various business activities, acquired a wide acquaintance.
He had the ability to make certain friends and no one in our community had any wider circle of warm hearted acquaintances than he did. He had a reputation of dealing justly, of absolute honesty, a man whose promise could be counted upon. He was a sincere, generous, kind and thoughtful man. He spent his boyhood years on the family homestead in South Walnut township and grew to his manhood in this community. Upon reaching years of maturity he engaged in farming for himself, and with his habits of thrift, industry and perseverance he acquired considerable property. He was level headed and far seeing and he had good business judgment. With the means at his command, and possessed of a robust and hearty constitution, he had every reason to look forward to many years of business activity and pleasant social relations among those with whom he mingled and associated. However, an all wise Creator, whose worthy purposes are beyond the scope of human conception, does all things for the best. Mr. Jackman was prepared to meet his Creator, he received the last sacraments of the church that are such a consolation to members of his faith when the hour of death approaches. While life is sweet to those of health and strength, yet it is as nothing compared to eternal happiness. Human nature is, at its best, frail and weak, and the snares and pitfalls of temptation are strong. No one knows what lies ahead of him in a worldly sense or in a spiritual way. No one knows whether he will have the strength of will or the grace of God to avoid obstacles in the pathway of life. Hence, many are called at a time when they are best prepared to enter that home of eternal happiness which is the goal of all Christian people. Death at all times is sad but death under such sudden and tragic circumstances is heart-rendering to those who are left to mourn. A week ago John Jackman was in the prime of life, full of health and vigor, joyfully transacting the affairs of his station in life; today he is sleeping in that silent city of the dead. It is a change so sudden and so overwhelming that it is difficult to realize. The heart strings of the community have been touched by sorrow but it is upon the wife, her father and mother and her brothers and sisters who were members of the happy household, the aged gray haired father, and the affectionate and loving brothers and sisters, where the full brunt of sorrow and the pains of anguish and separation will fall. As time brings a keen realization of the tragedy, and saddened hearts beat in loneliness and sorrow for one who was near and dear, when the hopes, the plans and the happy dreams of the future may have been shattered; and a silent sorrow descends like the stillness of night, it is then that courage, fortitude and patience are virtues to be prized. To those who mourn, the heart of the community goes out in sincere and genuine sympathy.

MRS. JOHN JACKMAN CALLED TO REWARD
Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Spies of Graettinger. Ill a Long Time.
(By John J. Sullivan)
Graettinger, March 3
Mrs. John Jackman of this place passed away at nine o'clock Saturday morning following an illness of several years' duration. A year ago last fall she underwent a serious operation at the Mayo hospital at Rochester. She recovered from the effects of the ordeal and for a time felt considerably improved. Last spring her health again became poorly and she went to a sanitarium in Missouri for treatment returning a few months afterwards. Six months ago the Mayo specialists pronounced her condition very serious and told the members of the family she had but a few months to live. During these months she suffered intensely but she bore her trials and afflictions with true Christian fortitude. Two weeks ago she contracted pneumonia. This was the immediate cause of her death.
The funeral was held Monday morning at ten o'clock. Services were conducted at the Catholic church. A solemn requiem high mass was celebrated, Father Kelly officiated with Father McNerney of Emmetsburg as deacon, Father Smith of Ayshire as sub-deacon and Father Conway of Estherville as server. During the mass W. J. Dunigan of Emmetsburg sang a number of solos, with Mrs. Daniel Kelly of Emmetsburg as accompanist. The larger church was filled with hundreds of friends of the deceased who gathered to pay their last respects to one who, when living, always radiated sunshine and happiness, and who replaced many a thorn in the pathway of life with roses of good deeds. Father Kelly, who had known the deceased since she was a little child, spoke feelingly of her many virtues, of her beautiful character, of her piety and fidelity. He recounted the sufferings of Christ from Bethlehem to Calvary and told how eternal happiness is merited only by suffering and sacrifice. His funeral address was one that will long be remembered by the many who heard it. From the church the remains were taken to the parochial cemetery and laid to rest by the side of her husband whose tragic death occurred a little over three years ago. The pall bearers who bore the remains to their final resting place were V. L. O'Connor, M. Weinholzer, Fred Spies, Carl Spies, Leo Kolb, Dr. Dempsey, John Schaney and Emmet Jackman.
Agnes Spies was born in Graettinger June 24, 1887. She grew to young womanhood in this city and graduated from the local high school. She subsequently spent two years attending college in Minneapolis and then went to Munich, Germany, for a two year course in music and home economics. On her return from abroad she remained at home until her marriage to Mr. John Jackman on June 29, 1916. Mr. Jackman met death in a crossing accident at Armstrong November 16, 1921. Mrs. Jackman never fully recovered from the effects of the sudden and tragic death of her husband. The deceased is survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Spies of this city, and by one sister and two brothers. The sister is Miss Elisabeth and the brothers are Charles and Adolph.
The death of Mrs. Agnes Jackman has left a feeling of loneliness in the community that is felt by all our people. For months it was realized she could not live and the hearts of all beat in sympathy for the patient sufferer making such a valiant fight for life. Mrs. Jackman had a very pleasant disposition and her pleasing ways, together with her kindness, thoughtfulness and consideration endeared her in the hearts of all. She was a loving, dutiful daughter, a kind, thoughtful sister and a sincere, true friend. She was a pious and devout member of the Catholic church and dutifully observed its teachings. She had trust and faith in her Creator and during the closing months of her life frequently asked those who called to see her to remember her in their prayers. She was a lover of music and flowers and her beautiful casket was banked with costly floral decorations and scores of spiritual bouquets, the gifts of sorrowing relatives and friends. The sympathy of the entire community is extended to the grief stricken parents and to the sorrowing sister and brothers in the sad loss they have been called upon to bear.

JACKMAN - SPIES MARRIAGE
Two of Graettinger's Worthy Young People United Thursday.
(From Graettinger Times)
Miss Anna Agnes Spies and Mr. John Jackman were united in marriage at the Catholic church in this city this morning at 9 o'clock. Rev. J. J. Kelly, the pastor, officiated. A nuptial high mass was celebrated immediately following the brief ceremony that united the contracting parties for life. The bride was attended by Miss Alice Jackman, sister of the groom. Miss Elizabeth Spies, sister of the bride, was maid of honor. Mr. Charles Spies, brother of the bride, was best man and Dr. Albert Joynt of Waterloo was groomsman. Miss Maurine Kelly was ring bearer and Miss Cassie Laughlin train bearer. Misses Alice Widely and Margaret Jackman were flower girls. Miss Josie McEvoy of Emmetsburg was organist. The Lohengrin wedding march was sung by Miss Myrtle Franklin at the entrance of the bridal party. During the mass an Ava Maria was sung by Miss Bernadete McNally of Emmetsburg and the solos of high mass were sung by Mrs. Thomas Higley. The bride was attired in a handsome gown of white Georgette crepe over taffeta. She wore a veil with orange blossoms and white satin slippers. The veil and slippers were the same worn by her mother on her wedding day. The maid of honor wore a gown of pink taffeta and the bridesmaid a gown of blue taffeta. The groom was attired in the conventional black.
At 12 o'clock a five-course wedding dinner was served at the home of the bride's parents. Only the close relatives of the newly wedded couple were in attendance. The house was beautifully decorated with white garlands and wedding bells, green ferns, peonies, roses, carnations and sweet peas. Mr. And Mrs. Jackman departed during the day for Yellowstone Park where they will spend their honeymoon. They will return by way of Colorado and Arkansas. They expect to be gone for some time.
The bride is the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Spies. She grew to womanhood in Graettinger and attended our public schools. After completing the course here she attended the Minneapolis high school, subsequently completing a course in the University of Minnesota. She is an accomplished musician and studied music while at Minneapolis, later spending two years in a conservatory at Munich, Germany, from 1910 to 1912. She is bright and charming and has a pleasing personality and the faculty to make and retain friends. She has for several years served as an organist in the Catholic church and the members of the congregation are deeply indebted to her for her services. She has always taken an active interest in the social and events of the city and she will be greatly missed by the entire community.
The groom is a son of Mr. Patrick Jackman of Walnut township. He is one of Palo Alto county's successful, promising young men. He is a representative of an old an respected family and is in every way worthy of the confidence and respect of his many friends and acquaintances. He is honorable and manly and his character is above reproach. He has been very successful in business affairs and has prospered. During the past year he was connected with the Lee Live Stock Commission company of Sioux City.
Mr. and Mrs. Jackman have not decided where they will make their future home. While they are absent in the west and south they will look up a location where there is a good business opening. The Times joins in extending hearty congratulations and best wishes for their future happiness and prosperity.

Palo Alto Pilot, Nov. 12, 1874
Runaway - William Jackman was driving home from town a few days since riding on a board laid on the bolsters of his wagon, and holding a package containing glassware under one arm; while yet on the grade west of town the wagon took a sudden lurch into a rut, followed instantly by a second, which threw him instantly from his seat, when the team took fright and ran; having but one hand on the lines and making an effort at the same time to save the package, he lost the one and broke the other, besides skinning his nose extensively.
The team took across the country and up hills and down dales, running in various directions, it is thought, twenty miles, and were finally caught by Mr. McNally about eight miles west of town, neither ream or wagon having been injured.
Though it was bad enough, Mr. Jackman has reason to be thankful that no greater injury was done to himself and team. Several teams in this county have run away under similar circumstances, in some instances nearly killing the drivers, and in one instance the driver was killed outright - he, however, had taken too much sugar in his brandy. Moral - Avoid riding on "buck Board" and don't take sugar in brandy.

Mr. William Jackman is building a comfortable addition to his house in Walnut Township, size 16 x 20. For fear some may think that William is getting fat from the fees of the office of coroner, we state that such is not the case. No man can get rich by building inquests over dead bodies in Palo Alto County.

Palo Alto Reporter, October 2, 1880
Mr. E. Trott of the New York Children's Aid Society, arrived at Emmetsburg a week ago with a second installment of boys and one girl. There were nineteen of the boys, and they were of all sizes, and there was surely not less than thirty-eight different temperaments divided among them.
As a rule they had bright faces; in fact, if you were to go into any school in the country and at random take twenty boys whose ages ranged between five and seventeen years, it is doubtful if you would have a better averaged lot. After stating the circumstances under which they were brought west, Mr. Trott proceeded to distribute them to the parties who had previously made application, as follows:
Thos. Cook, aged 16, WM. JACKMAN
Henry Wiley, aged 12, A. Miller
Edw. Franklin, aged 15, John Body
Clarence Frazer, aged 9, L. D. Prouty
Adolph Bowers, aged 16, John Owens
It will be seen that the boys, as a rule, got very good homes, some of them exceptionally so. We bespeak for both big and little kind treatment, and especially so for the little fellows. Some time since, a western newspaper spoke against this bringing of these boys to the West, and said there was no good in them; but one, at least, of the New York papers takes a different view of the matter and says the Society is sending out what should be the bone and sinew of the future years. Messrs. Jas. Scott, Z. F. Dickinson and others who took the boys before, speak very highly of them and seem to be well pleased so far. The Society is doing a noble work in removing these boys from the temptations of the city and bringing them to the country where even the smallest will in a year or two be abundantly able to earn a livelihood.

ANOTHER SERIOUS ACCIDENT - On Friday 22nd inst., William Jackman, of Walnut, in this county, commenced cutting his grain with a reaping machine and had only fairly started the machine when the sickle bar ran against his little three year old son who had run out into the standing grain ahead of the team and stood there all unconscious of the terrible danger. The grain enveloped the boy so that he could not be seen by his father who was driving until after the machine struck him when the father stopped the team almost instantly, but not until one leg had been entirely severed about three inches above the ankle and the other leg but half off by the terrible sickle. The boy immediately was taken to the house and Dr. Davies brought from town as quickly as possible, who dressed the wounds and thinks the boy will recover and that he will be able to save the leg which was only partially severed. It is a sad and distressing accident for it must necessarily render the poor boy a cripple for life and the little fellow and his afflicted parents and friends have the sympathy of the entire community.

The Walnut Worry
EDITOR REPORTER: "The wounded bird always flutters." In my communication to the REPORTER some weeks ago, I never mentioned Mr. Jackman's name at all, but I struck him so hard that he must howl in the Pilot the week following. I am greatly mistaken, or Mr. J. is making money out of our school this winter. I am told he is canvassing the township for votes, well, he always does his best to get the office, so there must be something in it. Now, I will explain why I wish to get on the school board. The 'east Side" folks think they ought to have something to say in school matters; but Mr. Jackman thinks not, and he proves it by his acts. We have to take whatever teacher he sends us, good or poor-generally the latter. Now, if the voters of the township think we on the east side should have nothing to say in our own affairs, I say to them: vote for Mr. Jackman; I wish to get on the school board, but have asked no one to vote for me - let them please themselves.
Mr. Jackman gave me a cheap ad in the Pilot for my chickens and eggs. Because he sold four of five steers this winter, he thinks he can look down on a poor fellow who must engage in a smaller business to keep out of debt. I wish to remind Mr. J. that no man has my note and I am not ashamed of my business. I would advise the gentleman to take his daughter home and set her to raising chickens and eggs. It would be more honorable than paying her twenty-eight or thirty dollars per month of public money for imposing upon the tax payers of the township and robbing the children of their education.

possible, and in such manner that its cost may draw easy on the parishioners pocket book, and from the way he has handled the building of the church so far, we would think he should be complimented by all for his for his generalship in financeering. It is for this institution that he now proposes to have this fair and that it will e a success there is no doubt. Protestants and Catholics, are benefited alike financially in a building of this kind, for no matter what creed or church you belong to, the more public buildings that go up in our town, the better it is for your town. The fair now in progress will last a week and the attractions each night will be different, as you cannot afford to miss one evening. Among the several prizes to be drawn is a road cart or two wheeled buggy made by R.B. Skinner of this city. A bed room set donated by E. Dimler, a buffalo overcoat donated by P. Joyce, a cow donated by James Lynch of Highland Twp, three heifers donated one each by John Pendergast, John Nolan and WILLIAM JACKMAN. A sewing machine donated by J.T. Loaghlin, H.C. Shadbolt has donated a beautiful field glass, Robert Carney has given a pair of peacocks, Miss Kelly a stand, Mrs. John McNally a hanging lamp, two rustic chairs, one each by Mrs. T. McLoughlin and Mrs. W. Murphy. William E. Barnhart a pump, Beckman & Schroeder have given a fanning mill, P.C. Hart a cultivator, D. Donovan a stirring plow. A. Taub a trunk, and there are many more useful articles, the donors names of which we did not learn and if we did, want of space forbids publishing the list. Dinner and supper is served each day and to enliven the time the band will discourse its sweetest strains of music each evening. If you want to spend a few pleasant hours in sociability with your neighbor, you should attend the fair.

You ought to have heard William Jackman laugh at what the Ruthven Free Press said about him running away from the draft. Billy, like everyone else, says that Teed hasn't got brains enough to think of one half of the political rubbish that appeared in that paper last week. The articles were written by a party in Emmetsburg and sent to the Free Press for publication. The editors of the Reporter are manly enough not to allow such trash in their papers.

THE JACKMAN TROUBLE
An Unfortunate Affair That Has Broken up a Clare Family
One of the saddest events occurring in Clare for some time was the trouble resulting in the disruption of the Jackman Home. It is difficult to learn the facts in the case, but it is generally reported that the trouble commenced Saturday evening when Wm. Jackman threatened to kill one of his children, a boy about 10 years old, by chasing him up stairs with an ax. The boy got into a room and locked the door before the irate father had an opportunity to catch him.
On Sunday evening he is reported to have threatened his wife's life with a revolver in each hand, she making her escape to a neighbor's house.
On Monday evening Mrs. Jackman took the three youngest children and boarded the freight train and went to Fort Dodge. As soon as Mr. Jackman learned that she had gone he sent a telegram to one of the papers warning the public not to trust her. Mrs. Jackman and her son, the eldest boy who works at Dunning's livery, came up on Tuesday and took her effects, and the rest of the family excepting Will, a boy about sixteen, who is working in the clothing store of Collins & Jackman.
The whole affair seems to have been caused by Uncle Billy imbibing to freely of alcoholic stimulants.
It is understood that Mrs. Jackman will take immediate legal steps for a division of the property. Public sympathy is generally with Mrs. Jackman.

HANDY WITH HIS GUN
Uncle Billy Jackman, of Clare, Makes an Effort To Let Daylight Through the Body of Mike English.
BAD MARKSMANSHIP PREVENTS MURDER
Jackman Says He Was Only Fooling and Wanted to Scare English, But It Was A Very Poor Joke.
The usually quiet little town of Clare narrowly escaped being the scene of a terrible tragedy last Wednesday evening, that would have sent one soul to its maker and damned another. Michael English is indebted to the gathering twilight of Wednesday evening and the poor marksmanship of William Jackman, better known as "Uncle Billy Jackman," for his life. If "Uncle Billy" could only shoot half as well as Dr. Carver the body of Mike English would now be a piece of putrid and decaying clay, and Jackman would have the stain of human blood on his hands as the result of his terrible temper. Jackman shot directly at English but luckily the bullet missed its human target.
Wednesday evening about 8 o'clock William Jackman and Mike English became involved in an altercation concerning a load of hay which English had sold to Jackman. The quarrel was very short and but few words were exchanged, when without warning Jackman pulled a revolver from his pocket. English attempted to strike the weapon from his hand with a hay fork, but failing in this started to retreat. Before he had gone very far, however, Jackman fired at him, but luckily the wavering twilight and his poor aim made the bullet miss its mark.
English came at once to Clare and told his story to Marshal McKernan, but McKernan refused to arrest without a warrant. Mayor Barrett did not think he had authority to issue a warrant in such cases and English then applied to Justice Rehm who promptly issued the necessary papers. It was then too late to serve them that night, but they were placed in the hands of Constable Myers for execution. Jackman was brought before Justice Rehm Thursday morning. He plead guilty and was let off by paying the costs in the case which amounted to $5.20. He should consider himself very fortunate on getting off so lightly for so serious an offense.
Jackman says he was only fooling and wanted to scare English. Fooling with a man's life is a joke that few people will appreciate, 'Uncle Billy" is getting to be too much of a joker.

OFF FOR THE WAR
The first sober incident of war occurred in Fort Dodge Tuesday morning when company G left for Des Moines to volunteer their services. Notwithstanding that they had expected to be summoned, the orders were slow coming, and it was not until 10:30 Monday night that a telegram came from Adjutant General Byers telling company G to start for Des Moines at 7:00 o'clock. The men have been under orders since Saturday to be ready to leave at a moment's notice, so they were not disturbed by the rush order, but the uncertainty of their going prevented many from being present at the station.
At an early hour in the morning the bugles called the members to the armory. Equipments were all prepared, so that there was no confusion. Many people took advantage of this opportunity to say good-bye to the boys and it was well that they did, for the crowd at the Rock Island depot was too vast to allow of many personal greetings. A few minutes before train time the company marched to the depot, being attired in full marching costume, including knapsacks. From the brow of the hill to the station they were watched with pride and admiration by hundreds of spectators who lined the street. At the station the crowd was so dense that it was almost impossible to get within one hundred feet of the train. Company G passed down between the lines of people, the drum being the only accompaniment. they looked in good spirits and wore a general businesslike air. They entered the car at once and saluted their friends for the windows, and the greetings were warmly responded to from outside. As the train pulled slowly out the soldier boys gave rousing cheers, but the cheers for the crowd contained a noticeable note of sadness. A waving forest of hats were thrown in the air. The last seen of the car the occupants were waving good-bye. A few minutes later the big whistle at the Fort Dodge Clay Works saluted them as they left the limits of the city.
Uncle Sam never received a better looking body of volunteers. Physically they are the flower of Fort Dodge's youthful manhood, and their spirits and courage are unbounded. They are of the material that victorious legions are formed from. Intelligent, athletic and courageous they will do their part in maintaining the past glories of America's citizen soldiery.
There was much that was pathetic about Tuesday morning's scene. Heroic sacrifices were being made by others than the volunteers. It takes courage to send away sons, brothers and loved ones to offer themselves on the altar. Tears were being shed by many spectators, for all felt they were kin at that moment, and hearts beat warm in sympathy.
We are proud of the boys, and know their record will be worthy of them. That the war will not call for the sacrifice of a single one of them is our hope and prayer.

A St. Patrick's Day Song of Mary "Muddy" Jackman Hines - as remembered by her great granddaughter Arlene Hines Stout (1921- 2000)
" I want to tell you Mrs. Casey that before I married Pat
He was a Donahue and I was a Donahue
Now what do you think of that?
And the Donahue's will all be there
They will open up the Ball
And if you get in it will be next day
With a pail to scrub the Hall."

Mrs. Mary Hines Passes Away at Clare
Mrs. Mary Hines, a sister of Patrick Jackman, Sr., of this city, passed away early Saturday morning at her home in the Lizard parish near Clare, Webster county. She was ill for several weeks.

Fire Destroys Lizard Church
Built South of Gilmore About Time Old Church Was Erected in Old Town, Emmetsburg
Saturday afternoon the historic Catholic church at Lizard Lake, 10 or 12 miles south of Gilmore City, was completely destroyed by fire. There was a funeral during the forenoon and it is thought that the blaze started from the furnace shortly after the remains were taken from the edifice. The building was fairly well insured. It was a frame structure. It was of late years a mission church. Father Finnigan of Gilmore has been the pastor. Father Murtagh tells us that the Lizard church was in his charge while he was pastor at Gilmore. It was built about 60 years ago. Current reports say that it was erected by Father Marsh, who was one of the early Catholic priests to officiate in this county about 70 years ago. Father T. M Lenihan, for a long time pastor of Corpus Christi church at Fort Dodge, and later bishop of Cheyenne, Wyoming, with his assistants, officiated at the Lizard for many years. The parish was some 40 or 50 years ago quite large. Many of the best known business people and teachers in Webster, Pocahontas and Calhoun counties attended it. Among the young men of the parish who attained distinction in the church were Fathers McCarville and Murray and Mgr. Monyhan, now of Sioux Falls. A SISTER OF THE LATE P. R. AND MICHAEL JACKMAN RESIDED ON THE LIZARD FOR PERHAPS HALF A CENTURY. SHE PASSED AWAY A FEW YEARS AGO. The congregation has from year to year gradually been reduced in numbers because of the growth of neighboring parishes and because of the increase of automobiles, to about 48 families. The church was large. Finally a partition was made dividing it into two rooms in order to save the expense of heating. Father Murtagh tells us that many an interesting story could be told about the Lizard church and its splendid people who have, during the past half century or more, gone to many places in Iowa and distant states to make their home.

WAS FATALLY BURNED
Mrs. Catherine Conlon, the Victim, Passes Away Sunday Night
Last Thursday evening while raking some rubbish about the yard, Mrs. Catherine Conlon's clothes took fire and she was so badly burned that she died last Sunday evening. She supposed that the fire was gone out and was thoughtlessly talking to a neighboring lady. After the woman went home, Mrs. Conlon discovered that her skirt was on fire. She became greatly alarmed and screamed to the neighbors. She dropped down onto the ground and rolled over several times thinking she could extinguish the flames but she was unsuccessful. Finally the workmen on Edward McNally's new residence heard her screams and came to her rescue. Dr. Cretzmeyer was summoned and did everything he could to relieve her sufferings but she was so badly burned about the small of her back that her kidneys became affected and nothing could be done for her.
The funeral will be held this morning. Services will be conducted at Assumption church at ten o'clock. Very Rev. P. F. Farrelly will officiate. The burial will be in St. John's cemetery.
Mrs. Conlon was a daughter of the late Michael Jackman. She was born on the old homestead east of the lake November 25, 1859, hence she was almost 56 years of age. She lived in this city for over thirty years. She is survived by two sons and three daughters. The sons are J. F. Conlon of Watertown, South Dakota, and M. C. Conlon of Redward, Oregon. The daughters are Mrs. J. E. Miksch of Simms, Montana, Mrs. Wm. H. J Steiner of Mallard and Mrs. C. L. Hendricks of Garner. All are present to attend the funeral. The deceased is also survived by three brothers, Patrick Jackman of Grand Island, Nebraska, Michael Jackman of Waterloo and W. E. Jackman of this city. Three sisters, Misses Agnes and Mary Jackman and Mrs. R. J. Nolan, live at Mankato, Minnesota.
Mrs. Conlon was one of the most dutiful and exemplary Christian ladies of Emmetsburg. She was quiet and unpretentious but she was an indefatigable worker. She was earnest and courageous and at times she proved herself truly heroic in overcoming some of the difficulties against which she had to contend. She provided as best she could for the material and educational needs of her sons and daughters and she never neglected their religious care. They grew up to honor her for the many sacrifices she made for them when they were young and helpless. As a neighbor Mrs. Conlon was kind, obliging and benevolent. She won and retained the confidence and high regard of all who knew her. Her sad death is a source of deep regret to all who were acquainted with her. The sincere sympathy of our many citizens is extended to the two sons, three daughters and to the several brothers and sisters in the sorrow that has come to them.

Mrs. Catherine Conlon Dies From Effect of Burns
Last week the serious burning of Mrs. Catherine Conlon was noticed in the Reporter. At first it was thought that perhaps her injuries would not prove fatal but after a day the effects of her burns began to tell and in a couple of days all hope of her recovery was given up. The end came Sunday evening when she passed to the life beyond. Mrs. Conlon's death is certainly a sad one and her tragic death is very deeply regretted by the people of this city.
The deceased maiden name was Catherine Jackman and she was born on the old Jackman homestead a few miles northeast of this city, November 16th, 1858. As a child she was reared in the early privations of the times incident to the pioneer life in this part of Iowa. In those days there but few advantages and many disadvantages and in all of these she participated. She was the mother of five children and early and late she toiled for them and provided the necessaries of life until they reached the years when they were able to provide for themselves. These five children survive her and are: M. C. Conlon of Redmond, Oregon; John F. Conlon of Watertown, South Dakota; Mrs. J. E. Michish of Simms, Montana, Mrs. Steiner of Mallard and Mrs. C. L. Hendricks of Garner, Iowa. These have the sympathy of the entire community in their deep sorrow. The funeral was held from Assumption church Wednesday at 10 o'clock and was very largely attended. The interment was made in St. John's cemetery.
Mrs. Colnon was a devout member of the catholic church and during the years of her life was always an attendant upon the services of the church. Indeed her faith in her Maker and the blessing of the future life was an abiding one and strengthened her to meet the vicissitudes of this life with a calm resignation in Him who doeth all things well.

JACKMANS HAVE A BONANZA
Jerry Hoyer Reports Them Prospering at Waterloo
Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Hoyer came up from Waterloo the last of the week by auto and spent Sunday with old friends in this city. They started for Mitchell, South Dakota, Monday, to attend the corn palace. They will come back this way and will remain for a few days. Mr. Hoyer is conducting a bottling establishment at Waterloo. He has a partner. They employ five people and do a good business. They sell temperance drinks. He reports that Patrick and Michael Jackman have a $10,000 steam dredging plant at that place that is making them more money than a gold mine. They take out gravel from the river bed and grade it. There is considerable rock in the gravel and they crush it. They take out enough each day to keep 25 teams employed steadily in hauling it. They get 90 cents per load for the sand and gravel and $1.25 per load for the crushed rock. They cannot supply the local demand for their product. They pay the city $700 per year for the privilege of doing the dredging. Mr. Hoyer thinks they have the best paying business in Waterloo. They have been operating two months.

Mike Steil is Now A Millionaire
Says W. E. Jackman, Who Returned From Tulsa, Oklahoma, Saturday
W. E. Jackman, who returned from Tulsa, Oklahoma, Sunday, tells our reporter that his brother, PATRICK JACKMAN, who lives in that city, is in very serious condition. No hopes are entertained for his recovery. He has enlargement of the heart, leakage of the heart valves and kidney and liver troubles. He is about 68 years of age. The members of his family live in the vicinity of Tulsa.
Mr. Jackman says that Tulsa is now a place of 170,000. It is the best boom city he knows. His brother bought some residence property nearly a mile from the center of the city a couple of years ago and paid $8,000 for it. Quite recently he leased it to a business man at that place for 30 years for $370 per month. He was offered $59,000 for the property, but refused it. Tulsa is in the heart of the best oil district in that state. Mr. Jackman stopped over night at Tulsa in 1901. It was at that time a town of perhaps 1,000. It had only one hotel. Today it has scores of business houses that are as fine as can be found in any large city.
Mr. Jackman was told that Mike Steil, a brother of John and Albert of this county, is now rated as a millionaire. However, he made most of his money in real estate instead of in the oil business. He and his brother Matt have splendid offices in one of the finest buildings of the city.
Mr. Jackman was told at Tulsa that while there is a strong opposition in that city to Governor Smith, he will unquestionably carry the state.
Mr. Jackman was accompanied to Tulsa by his nephew, GEORGE JACKMAN, who had several race horses at the Spencer fair. George was on his way to Spencer from Huron, South Dakota, when the message came concerning the serious illness of his father.

RICHARD J. NOLAN IS DEAD
Passed Away in Hospital in Minneapolis Monday.
Tuesday morning the sad news of the death of Richard J. Nolan in a hospital at Minneapolis was received by the relatives of the family in this city. Mr. Nolan is a brother of Mrs. Alex Cullen of this city and resided at Mankato, Minnesota. A week ago he entered a hospital where he was treated for enlargement of the liver. It seems that no relief could be given to him. The funeral was held at Mankato yesterday. Services were conducted in the Catholic church at that place and the burial was in the parochial cemetery. A number of relatives from this vicinity were in attendance.
Mr. Nolan was born in the vicinity of Emmetsburg September 29, 1869. He grew to manhood in this locality. He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. P. C. Nolan. He was married at Armstrong, this state, December 28, 1897, to Miss Josie Jackman, daughter of the late Michael Jackman. Mr. and Mrs. Nolan lived at Armstrong for some time, after which they moved to some point in Oklahoma. Later they became residents of Oelwein and three years ago they located at Mankato. Mr. Nolan is survived by his wife and an adopted son, Martin Nolan. Among the others who mourn his loss are his parents, Mrs. and Mrs. P. C. Nolan, his brothers, Charles of Graettinger, E. J. of Des Moines and Frank of Chicago. His two sisters are Mrs. Alex Cullen of this city and Mrs. J. J. Martin of Ayrshire.
Mr. Nolan was a happy, genial, obliging, kind hearted gentleman and had a wide circle of devoted friends. His good nature and his readiness to do helpful favors to those whom he esteemed made him popular among the many in this county and elsewhere who had the good fortune to know him. He was outspoken and manly and he was industrious and strictly upright. He was charitable and gave freely towards the support of worthy purposes. The writer found Mr. Nolan a warm personal friend for nearly thirty years, and it is with unfeigned regret that we learn of his death. The sympathy of all is extended to Mrs. Nolan, the son, the aged parents, and the brothers and sisters in the sorrow that has come to them.

RICHARD NOLAN IS DEAD
He Had Been ill One Week With Liver Complaint; Funeral on Thursday
Richard Nolan proprietor of the saloon at 324 South Front street and residing in the apartments over that place, died Monday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock at St. Joseph's hospital. He had been ill about one week with liver trouble.
Mayor Lamm, on hearing of Mr. Nolan's death, at once ordered the saloon closed, as any saloon license, under the law, expires at the moment the holder dies. This reduces the number of saloons in Mankato to twenty-five. Before the closing of the mint saloon, there were twenty-seven.
Mr. Nolan was forty-five years old. He came to Mankato three years ago with his family from Oelwein, Iowa. It is understood that his saloon has always been orderly and law-abiding.
He is survived by his wire, and one adopted son, Martin Nolan, aged five. Other surviving relatives of the deceased are his mother, Mrs. P. Nolan, Emmetsburg, Iowa; three brothers, Charles Nolan of Graettinger, Iowa; Ed Nolan of Des Moines, Iowa, and Frank Nolan of Chicago; and two sisters, Mrs. Alex Cullen, Emmetsburg, Iowa and Mrs. J. J. Martin, Ayrshire, Iowa.
The deceased was a member of St. John's Catholic church. He also belonged to the Mankato lodge of the Sons of Herman, the Oelwein lodge of the Eagles and the Emmetsburg Lodge of the Catholic Order of Foresters.
The funeral will take place Thursday morning at nine o'clock from St. John's Catholic church. The interment will be in Calvary cemetery.

Prominent Liquor Dealer Succumbs To Attack Of Heart Failure
Was Ill For Only One Hour
Stricken at Six O'Clock, He Expired at His Home on Wisconsin Avenue at Seven
Michael Jackman, one of the best known business men of East Dubuque, died at his home on Wisconsin avenue in that city at seven o'clock Wednesday morning, after an illness of one hour's duration, death being due to heart failure.
About five o'clock Wednesday morning Mr. Jackman arose, it is said, in his usual health and went down to the liquor store in which he is interested for the purpose of opening up the place. At six o'clock he was stricken with an attack of dizziness and fell down the steps leading out of the building onto Sinsinawa avenue. He was picked up and taken inside, and as he complained about his heart the Dubuque city ambulance was called and he was removed to his home where he expired at seven despite every effort of physicians.
Mr. Jackman had been a resident of East Dubuque for about three years, having come to the city from Waterloo, Iowa. He was a native of the Hawkeye state, being born at Emmetsburg on March 6, 1871. He was noted for his public spirit and interested himself in every public movement for the betterment of the city. His sudden demise is keenly regretted.

THE LATE MICHAEL JACKMAN
Died East Dubuque - The Burial at Waterloo
Last week we made brief mention of the sudden death of Michael Jackman at his home at East Dubuque, Illinois. He arose in the morning and attended to his usual duties when he suddenly fell to the floor. Medical aid was promptly summoned by nothing could be done to revive him. He passed away an hour and forty minutes later. The funeral was held at Waterloo, his former home. Services were conducted at the Catholic church at that place. The burial was in the parochial cemetery. There was a large attendance of old neighbors and friends. Several relatives from this city were present.
Mr. Jackman was born on the old family homestead east of Medium Lake on March 6, 1872. He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Jackman. He was 46 years of age. He was married in this city to Miss Margaret Pendergast. Mr. and Mrs. Jackman resided in Emmetsburg for several years and they also lived at Armstrong for some time. Later they became residents of Waterloo and a couple of years later moved to East Dubuque. Mr. Jackman is survived by his wife, three daughters and one son. One of the daughters is Mrs. J. C. Murphy of this city.
Mr. Jackman was a frugal, upright and a highly deserving citizen. He was good to his family and he provided wisely and fully for their comfort and their welfare. Those who had dealings with him respected him for his frankness and his readiness to do as he agreed. He was a loyal friend and never overlooked the interests of those whom he considered worthy of encouragement and assistance. He was generous to the poor. He gave freely to supply their needs when he knew that they were in distress and he made no display whatever of his generosity. His death will be widely and sincerely mourned. Mrs. Murphy and the other survivors of the family have the sincere sympathy of our many citizens in their bereavement.

Notes for WILLIAM EDWARD JACKMAN:
Letter, dated May 1, 1989, written by William E. Jackman's daughter, Winifred Jackman Slattery:
TWO CLOSE CALLS
Since father liked to hunt, we grew up with guns. One night the whole family was in the dining room. Father was cleaning his EMPTY, single-barreled shotgun. Suddenly a shot was heard - a loud blast!! It (the bullet) passed very close to Gertrude and left a hole in plaster right near her head and the telephone. (The telephone was on the wall, but not high as was the custom. Mother had it placed low so that she could sit as she visited. She did a lot of that.)
We were terrified but greatly relieved when we realized everyone was alive and unharmed. Gertrude and I have been reminiscing, and both of us remember this vividly.
Father had just received a shipment of cattle (Longhorns) from Texas. Maybe you recall that our house was a long distance from the barns. (Our family visited the old homestead a few years ago.) Cyril wandered into the pasture and a cow with calf attacked him. Father picked up the child and put him into the wagon. The cow turned on Father and dragged him back and forth raising a cloud of dust. Then the cow pinned Father down. The hired man assisting him, ran to the wagon, jumped in, too scared to help.
Mother, very pregnant, was sitting on the steps of the porch (over a block away). She saw the dust and ran to the scene. She twisted the cow's tail and that caused the animal to give up. Father had already broken the cow's antlers (sic) and gouged out her eyes. Cow turned on Mother. Father picked up a 2x4 and hit the cow so hard that she fell to the ground.
The doctor said: "Billy, if you weren't made of horse meat, you'd be dead!"
Gertrude remembers this. She said Cyril was crying because it was his fault. He wasn't supposed to go there at his age. I wasn't old enough to remember it, but I've heard the story many times.
More Notes from Winifred Jackman Slattery on her father, William Jackman:
My father was the twelfth child. The older ones left Emmetsburg and went into businesses other than farming. Father stayed at home. When he was 24, he was married. His father and Mother's father had an arrangement. Mother was engaged to a lawyer. The deal was if Father married Mother, his father would give him the home place (best land ever) and everything on it. Meant 249 acres of land, cattle, pigs, horses, and machinery.
That start made it possible for him to rent the old farm for one year and take Mother to Texas where her family had recently moved. Reason was she couldn't get over the loss of their first baby, who died at age of one week. Had caught a cold.
Maybe here I should digress. Father was a good money-maker. He could look over a herd of cattle, estimate the weight, and figure his profit, in his head, accurately. He'd buy the herd and ship them to Chicago or Sioux City. I can recall how he went on trips Saturday nights. He always went with the cattle. He had a cousin in Chicago who was manager of a stockyards, and he dealt with him. He had a connection in Sioux City also - the husband of another cousin.
I've heard my father tell how on Monday morning he'd ride out into the country with $2,000 cash in his pocket and buy cattle. (No check books then.) The first time he did this he was 14 years old. He became famous as a cattle dealer.
William married Nellie F. MARTIN, daughter of Thomas V. MARTIN and Catherine CROWLEY, on 18 Jan 1899 in Emmetsburg, Palo Alto, Iowa. Nellie was born 1 Aug 1878 in Emmetsburg, Palo Alto, Iowa. She died 1 Nov 1953 in Fort Dodge, Webster, Iowa.
Nellie was a red-head, kept her red hair until her death and had a fiery personality to fit her hair!!

Had Quite an Experience
On Thursday afternoon William E. Jackman had quite an experience. While eating dead fish in an opening in the ice in the lake, two of his choice shoats tumbled in and could not get out. The dog barked and Mr. Jackman's attention was called to the situation. He stripped off and jumped in to save his porkers, which were valuable. He pitched both out but they were pretty badly chilled and had considerable water in their lungs. He stuck them and dressed them. He says he does not care to go in bathing again until the water becomes warmer. He did not catch cold.

Prominent Farmer Passed Away
End of his long suffering came at four o'clock on Wednesday afternoon. Had been ill with cancer for two years. Funeral Saturday.
William Jackman, prominent Palo Alto farmer near Emmetsburg, died at his home on the east shore of Medium Lake at four o'clock Wednesday afternoon. He had been very ill with cancer on the bladder for two years. An operation and the skillful ministrations of various physicians failed to check the onward advancement of the malady. Even though his case seemed hopeless the end came rather suddenly. For the last few days he seemed to hold out real well against the disease. But a sudden turn for the worse came at one o'clock Wednesday afternoon and death followed in three hours.
Funeral services will be held in St. Thomas church at nine o'clock Saturday morning. Burial will be made in St. John's cemetery.
The deceased was born in a log cabin, on the farm on which he has lived all his life, May 1, 1874. Thus he was 56 years of age. He was married in 1900 to Miss Nellie F. Martin. Twelve children were born, eleven of whom, together with his widow, survive. They are: Cyril, Gertrude, Winifred, Corinne, Helen, Tom, Edna, Tene, Loretta, Pauline and Lenore. All live at home.
Mr. Jackman was one of the most highly respected citizens of our community. He made an outstanding success as a farmer and stock raiser. He played an important part in the growth of the banks and other Emmetsburg institutions.
He raised a large family, and was exceptionally generous as a provider. Industry was one of his outstanding characteristics. He shouldered responsibilities manfully and bore them well.
During his long illness he suffered patiently and fought bravely to be spared to his family. Remedial experiments accompanied by much pain were cheerfully endured by him. He had been bedfast since December. With each succeeding week his suffering seemed to increase. Death was inevitable. His condition caused great concern among local people. Inquiries as to his chances of recovery were very frequently heard. All of which indicated the high regard in which he was held.
Genuine sympathy is extended to the members of his splendid family. By way of encouragement they are urged to carry on in his absence in the same brave way that they carried on during his long illness.

Palo Alto Tribune, July 16, 1930
WM. JACKMAN LAID TO REST SATURDAY A. M.
Prominent Citizen, Devoted Husband and Father, Keen Businessman Passes.
The Tribune announced the death of William Jackman, which occurred about 4 p. m. Wednesday, July 9, 1930, in our last issue.
Mr. Jackman had been ailing for several years and was quite ill for two years or so. He was the victim of a cancer. Every possible assistance and care that physicians and the tenderest nursing could do for him was done, but it was all of no avail.
Although death had been expected for a long time, and the family realized that he could not recover, the end came rather suddenly. He was quite well for several days. At about one o'clock Wednesday he became suddenly worse and declined steadily until the end came.
Funeral services were held in St. Thomas church Saturday morning at nine o'clock. Rev. M. J. McNerney officiated and celebrated a requiem high mass. The pallbearers were O. V. Critz, Henry Kleigl, P. P. Nolan, Chas. Duhigg, Pete O'Leary and Bert Ryan.
Burial was in St. John's cemetery.
William E. Jackman was born May 1, 1874 on the Jackman farm on the east bank of Medium Lake upon which farm he lived all of his life. He grew to manhood there and became associated with the business interests of Emmetsburg and Palo Alto county.
In 1900 he united in marriage with Miss Nellie Martin. Twelve children were born to this union, eleven of whom survive their father. They are Cyril, Gertrude, Winnifred, Corrine, Helen, Thomas, Edna, Tene, Loretta, Pauline and Lenore. One child died in infancy
Mr. Jackman was one of the most prominent citizens of the county. He was keen and farseeing in business, and successful in most of his undertakings. In the growth and development of the county he did his full share. When the financial crisis came he bore his loss in the banks without a murmur, and willingly advanced his share in money and gave both of his time and efforts to re-establish the business that had suffered.
He was kind to his family and ever thoughtful for their comfort. He provided abundantly for them and took great pride in seeing them advance.
"Billy" Jackman, as he was familiarly known, was a generous, as whole-souled, as good-hearted and as noble-minded a man as it was possible to find. He was frank, open, and fair. There was nothing cunning or tricky about him. As a friend he was a friend, staunch and true. He would make sacrifices to help others and could not bear to see anyone in distress.
His death is exceptionally sad in that it is untimely and there was much yet that he could do for his wife, his family, his friends and the community had he been spared his health and strength. His last illness was one hard to bear, yet he was a patient sufferer and showed a most commendable fortitude. His death brings the realization to us all, that life is quite uncertain. Only a few years ago Mr. Jackman was considered one of the strong healthy robust men of the county - a man whom all believed could hear any sort of human burden, and now he has passed on to eternity with all that is mortal laid away for final rest.
During the years that he lived he accomplished much and made a host of friends who will always remember him kindly. His memory to his wife and family will always be regarded as a precious legacy.
To the wife and children who mourn his departure the Tribune extends sincere sympathy. He is also survived by three sisters, Mrs. R. J. Nolan and Misses Mary and Agnes Jackman, who share the sympathy of the community.

Large Funeral Late Wm. Jackman Held Saturday
Neighbors, Friends, From Far and Near Came to Attend. Burial in St. John's.
The funeral of W. E. Jackman, whose death was mentioned in last week's Democrat, was held Saturday forenoon. Services were conducted in St. Thomas church, the pastor, Rev. M. McNerney, officiating in a requiem high mass. The burial was in St. John's cemetery. The pall bearers were P. F. Nolan, Peter O'Leary, Chas. Duhigg, Bert Ryan, and Henry Kliegl.
The funeral was one of the largest in the history of Emmetsburg. Relatives and friends from all parts of the county and several from distant places were in attendance.
W. E. Jackman was born in a log cabin on his father's farm on the east side of Medium Lake, May 1, 1874. Hence his age was 56. He attended the local schools and grew to manhood in his home neighborhood. On January 18th, 1899, he was united in marriage to Miss Nellie F. Martin. Two sons and ten daughters were born to Mr. and Mrs. Jackman. Eleven are living. They are Cyril, Gertrude, Winifred, Corinne, Helen, Thos., Edna, Tene, Loretta, Paulina and Lenore. Miss Gertrude teaches at Cylinder, Miss Winifred in New Orleans and Miss Corinne at Perma, Montana. Miss Helen is a student in the State University at Iowa City. The other members of the family are at home. Mr. Jackman's death is also mourned by three sisters - Mrs. Mary and Agnes Jackman and Mrs. Josie Nolan, all of Los Angeles.
One of the strongest traits of Mr. Jackman was his dependability. He was at all times very outspoken, square, firm in his convictions and true to his friends. Those who did not agree with him always knew where to find him. He was never a trimmer when confronted with a situation requiring prompt, manly, responsible action. He was a heady farmer. He gave special attention to the raising of livestock and to the buying and shipping of cattle. He had a long experience in this line and he was a good judge of values. He did not believe in taking unnecessary chances. In business matters, he was prompt, careful, and conservative. He had one of the largest families in our county and he had also one of the best and most up-to-date homes. He was a devoted husband and he was generous to his boys and girls. He gave them the best of educational advantages. Several of his daughters became bright, clever, successful teachers in the schools of Iowa and other states. On several occasions, when in local schools, they won class and district honors. Mr. Jackman was loyal and generous to his church. He recognized the elevating influence, the real, the lasting power of spirituality in social and public affairs. He had a heart for the unfortunate. He was generous to those in distress. Mr. Jackman was at all times in Emmetsburg business affairs. His good will and support invariably carried influence. For more than 40 years he was a leading factor in our community's growth, development and progress. For quite a long time he suffered intensely from physical afflictions but he never lost confidence in the wisdom of the divine in permitting trying human afflictions. Mr. Jackman had the hardy cooperation in all of his undertakings of his patient, practical, self-sacrificing wife. She spared no effort to provide for his comfort and she bore up bravely, under her increased burdens, considering his severe trials and his physical misfortunes. The writer knew Mr. Jackman intimately during his long career in our community and admired him for his sturdiness, his faithfulness to his home and business trusts and his many sterling qualities as a citizen. General and profound sympathy is offered to Mrs. Jackman, her sons and her daughters and the other relatives in their sorrowing hours.
The following named parties came from a distance Saturday to attend the funeral of the late W. E. Jackman: Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Hendricks, Sheldon; Mr. and Mrs. George Jackman and Francis Ebert, Grand Island, Nebraska; Frank Martin, Eagle Lake, Texas; Al and Mary O'Connell, Chicago; Mr. and Mrs. Dave Ryan and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Laughlin, Mason City; Tom Kirby, Vincent Kelly, Sioux City; Mr. and Mrs. Joe Prochaska and Tom Prochaska, Clare; Mrs. Sadie Slattery, Lake Crystal, Minnesota; and Mr. and Mrs. Will Schaeherer, Wallingford.

Joseph Jackman Tells Of An Interesting Trip Thru Western States
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Spencer and Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins of Chicago, accompanied by Mrs. Spencer's father, Joseph Jackman, of this city, returned Friday evening from a 2965 mile automobile tour of the western states. They left Emmetsburg September 1st. Mrs. Spencer will be remembered as the former Margaret Jackman of this city. Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins and Mr. and Mrs. Spencer left for their homes in Chicago Saturday, where both Mr. and Mrs. Spencer are school teachers.
Mr. Jackman informs our reporter that the western trip was the most interesting he has ever taken. The party found excellent highways. From Sioux Falls to Rapid City they found that the effects of the drought were very severe. At Rapid City it was claimed that there had not been a drop of rain for more than two months. While in that thriving city Mr. Jackman was pleased to look up his old friend Wm. Hefley, who is one of the substantial citizens of the town. Although he is 79 years of age Mr. Hefley appears to be in the best of health and he is as active as ever. Mrs. Hefley's health however, has not been so good.
Enroute to Yellowstone National Park Mr. Jackman and his companions went through the Teapot Dome oil country in Wyoming. They saw hundreds of oil wells. They were surprised, however, that gasoline prices were as high if not higher than in Iowa. The reason given for the high prices is that much of the crude oil is shipped to eastern states for refining.
The Emmetsburg and Chicago folks spent four days in Yellowstone Park, viewing the many beautiful sights and the oddities of nature. Mr. Jackman is of the opinion that the Yellowstone Canyon scene is among the most beautiful in all America. One day during their sojourn in the park they enjoyed a nine-mile hike. Mr. Jackman informs our reporter that while he is getting along in years he was able to stand the fatigue of high altitude climbing as well as the younger folks in the party.
Going farther west, the tourists visited Idaho Falls. This is the second largest city in Idaho. Mr. Jackman tells us that he saw samples of field corn that appeared to be every bit as good as that raised in Iowa. Throughout the mountain traveling the folks saw many bear and deer. This was true not only in the National Park but also along ordinary mountain highways. Mr. Jackman found South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming, Montana and Idaho very dry. There are, however, numerous small valleys where irrigation produces fair crops. There was little corn to be seen, much of it not over two feet high. Small grain was, however, good and there is evidence that there is a good crop of wild hay, timothy hay and alfalfa. Mr. Jackman saw considerable livestock such as cattle and sheep but he was informed that many of the cattle were shipped east before they were ready for market due to the scarcity of feed.
The trip was made in a new Plymouth automobile. The party reports a very enjoyable trip. There was not even a puncture to mar the pleasure of traveling.

JOSEPH JACKMAN DIED AT HOME WEDNESDAY
Following Illness Since September. Funeral To Be Held Tomorrow. Was 70
Years of Age. Born In Walnut Township.
Joseph Jackman, 70, widely known and respected Emmetsburg citizen and native of Palo Alto county, died at the home of his son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Cullen, a short distance northwest of this city, early Wednesday evening. Mr. Jackman had been failing in health since September. At that time he visited the Mayo hospital at Rochester, Minn., but it was found that little could be done to restore his usual good health. During the summer months he enjoyed a trip through the southern states, but when he returned to this city he complained of ill health.
The funeral will be held in Emmetsburg Saturday morning at 9 o'clock. Services will be conducted in the St. Thomas Catholic church. The substitute pastor, Father Keane, will officiate. Interment will be in St. John's cemetery. The pallbearers chosen are P.C. Jackman, Francis Jackman, Paul Schaney, Charles Spies, all of this city; Thos. Kirby of Sioux City, and Robert Laughlin of Mason City. The Foy Funeral Home of Emmetsburg will be in charge of funeral arrangements. Jos. Jackman, son of the late Patrick and Margaret Brennan Jackman, was born in Walnut township, Palo Alto county, September 5, 1868. His parents were among the real old settlers of this section of Iowa. Mr. Jackman received his education in our early day county schools. In 1898 Joseph Jackman was united in marriage to Miss Mary Jennings of Chicago. They were married in a Catholic church in that city. Following their marriage they returned to Emmetsburg where for a number of years they engaged in farming on a large scale. In 1916 Mr. Jackman purchased the farmhouse adjoining Emmetsburg on the northwest where they have since made their home.
Six sons and daughters were born to Mr. and Mrs. Jackman. A son, William, preceded his father and mother in death. The sons and daughters who survived are Dr. R. J. Jackman, Rochester, Minn.; Dr. James Jackman, Laurens; Sister Mary Hilaire, Cedar Rapids; Mrs. T. J. Cullen, Emmetsburg; Mrs. Frank Spencer, Chicago. Mrs. Jackman passed away in Emmetsburg nearly three years ago. The deceased is also survived by the following brothers and sisters: Francis Jackman, P. C. Jackman and Mrs. Paul Schaney, all of Emmetsburg, Mrs. Bid
Kane of Anthon, Iowa, Mrs. Robert Laughlin of Mason City, Mrs. Thos. Kirby of Sioux City, and Miss Alice Jackman, Brownsville, Minn. There are also six grandchildren.
In the passing of Jos. Jackman, it can truly be said that Emmetsburg has lost one of its finest, most honorable citizens. Mr. Jackman was of such character and disposition that he enjoyed the highest esteem and the confidence of a wide circle of friends. Jos. Jackman's life was above reproach. His sense of duty and obligation to his Creator were strong, his loyalty to his own convictions was unwavering and his loyalty to his friends was staunch. He was a gentleman of culture. Mr. Jackman knew well and appreciated keenly the real values in life. By his own example he pointed the way to true Christian living. Both he an Mrs. Jackman were among our most respected residents.
They gave their sons and daughters not only the best of educational advantages, but they gave them also through their constant guidance and good example, the rules and incentives for good citizenship. The Democrat regrets deeply to learn of the death of Joseph Jackman. We considered him among the finest men it was our privilege to know and to respect. His sons and daughters will long cherish his memory.

Jackman Rites Held Saturday
Funeral services for Joe Jackman, mention of whose death was made in last week's issue of the Reporter, were held in St. Thomas church here Saturday morning, with Father Eugene Keane officiating. The pallbearers were P. C. and Francis Jackman, Paul Schaney and Charles Spies, all of this locality, Thomas Kirby of Sioux City and Robert Laughlin of Mason City. The remains were interred in St. John's cemetery. The Foy Funeral home was in charge.
The deceased was born in Walnut township, this county, September 5, 1868. Thus he was 70 years of age at the time of death. His parents were Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Jackman, prominent pioneers of this locality. In 1898 he was united in marriage with Miss Mary Jennings of Chicago. Three sons and three daughters were born to this union. One son, William, passed away a number of years ago. Those surviving are Sister M. Hilare of Cedar Rapids, Mrs. Tom Cullen of Emmetsburg and Mrs. Frank Spencer of Chicago, Dr. Ray Jackman of Rochester, Minn., and Dr. James Jackman of Laurens. He is also survived by the following sisters and brothers: P. C. and Francis Jackman and Mrs. Paul Schaney, all of Emmetsburg, Mrs. Robert Laughlin of Mason City, Mrs. Tom Kirby of Sioux City, Mrs. Bid Kane of Anthon, Ia., and Miss Alice Jackman of Brownsville, Minn. Six grandchildren also survive.
Mr. Jackman was one of the prominent and successful farmers of Palo Alto county, who succeeded through hard work and a skill in agricultural and business matters. He was a natural born gentleman, taking an interest in the better things of life. He took great pleasure in providing comforts and advantages for his family, giving his children every educational opportunity. He was a devout Catholic, and the Christian principles that accumulated during his life were reflected in the unusual patience with which he suffered in the long illness that finally brought death.
Mr. Jackman was very pleasant to meet and to know intimately. His gentle manner possessed qualities of charm that made him instantly and enduringly likable. He had the sincere sympathy of his numerous friends during his painful illness, and his fine family and brothers and sisters now have the same sympathy in losing his pleasing and comforting earthly presence.

Mrs. Joseph Jackman
Mrs. Joseph Jackman, one of the highly respected ladies of Emmetsburg passed away at her home in this city Tuesday afternoon at 2:20 o'clock. Mrs. Jackman's death was a result of an illness of more than a year during which time little hopes were held out for her recovery.
The funeral will be held Friday morning. A requiem mass will be solemnized in St. Thomas church by the pastor, Rev. M. McNerney. Interment will be in St. John's cemetery. The following have been chosen pallbearers: Robert Laughlin, Mason City; Thos. Kirby, Sioux City; and P. C. Jackman; Francis Jackman; Paul Schaney and Charles Spies of Emmetsburg. Mary Jennings was born in the city of Westport, Mayo county, Ireland, on September 15, 1872. Her age, therefore, at the time of her passing, was 64 years. Her girlhood was spent in her native land. At the age of 14 years she came to the United States and after residing for a short time in Clinton, Mass., she moved to Chicago where she lived until the time of her marriage. On September 26, 1899, she was united in marriage to Joseph Jackman in the Holy Angels church in Chicago. Mr. and Mrs. Jackman commenced housekeeping in this community and have resided here ever since. The deceased is survived by her husband, two sons - Dr. R. J. Jackman of the Mayo clinic at Rochester, Minn., and James G. Jackman of Iowa City; and three daughters - Mrs. T. J. Cullen of Cylinder, Sister Mary Hilaire of Des Moines and Mrs. F. G. Spencer of Chicago. A son, William, passed away seven years ago. Two sisters and one brother also survive Mrs. Jackman. They remain in Ireland.
Mrs. Jackman was one of the truly exemplary ladies of Emmetsburg. She was mild of manner, friendly and helpful under all circumstances. Her home was a center of refinement and culture. She was ever solicitous that her children should have the best of educational and other advantages. To her husband she was a loyal, constant companion who would share with him every burden and rejoice with him in every success. Her dutiful, splendid sons and daughters knew her as a mother whose keen interest in their welfare
knew no bounds. In her passing not only the bereaved husband and the sorrowing sons and daughters have lost a most self-sacrificing mother and wife, but the community has lost one of its best of women. The Democrat joins with many friends of the family in extending sincere sympathy.

Sister Mary Hilaire (Catherine Jackman) died at noon (March 9, 1969) on our Lady's Feast, February 11. This was one of Sister's special Feast and I am sure Blessed Mother has a warm welcome for her.
Sister went to School and during one of her Spanish classes suffered a slight stroke. Sister was conscious, and when she knew she was going to the hospital, told the sisters what the class assignments were - she died at her post, just as she would like to have done.
Sister spent seven lovely years at O.L.A. and had many good friends among sisters and students. One of them had invited her to be her guest at the coming Alumnae Sunday in April.
Sister was buried from Holy Name Cathedral, where a concelebrated Mass was sung.
Interment was at Mt. Carmel Cemetery.
We enrolled Sister in the Jesuit Association.
Remember Sister in your prayers. We now have another intercessor in Heaven.

Complete Kit of Burglars' Tools Found
Will Jackman and Harry Fordyce Uncover Implements and T. N. T. in Haystack
A full set of burglar tools and large charges of nitro glycerine were found in a hay stack on the Joe Jackman farm just northwest of town here.
William Jackman discovered a rifle in the hay stack during the evening when he was after the cows and later in the day he and Harry Fordyce went back to the stack and found the nitro glycerine, a kit of chisels and wrecking bars and the ammunition for a 30-30 rifle which was also in the stack.
All the loot was turned over to Sheriff Leo Shea, who destroyed the nitro glycerine, but the other tools and weapons will be held in his possession.
A 1926 Buick sedan was found abandoned off the Union grade, three miles northwest of town last Saturday, and officials here now believe that robbers were traveling in this car and when it broke down they hid their tools and equipment.
The car carried a Minnesota license number, which had been taken from a Hudson car owned in Worthington. Sheriff Shea also found that the Buick had been stolen from M. F. Dubs of Cherokee last December and that the car had traveled 11,000 miles since it was stolen.

Wm. Jackman Found Dead on C.R.I.P. Track
Son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Jackman. Hard to Recognize Body. Accident a Mystery.
William, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Jackman, who lives northwest of this city, met with a tragic death early Saturday morning. He was evidently ground beneath the wheels of a south bound freight train on the Rock Island road between Emmetsburg and Rodman. The remains were so badly mutilated that identification was extremely difficult. It was not until some time after the noon hour that Mr. Jackman was convinced that the parts of the body that were picked up where those of his son. Dr. Hennessy, the coroner and Undertaker Foy, hurried to the scene of the tragedy as soon as they were notified and brought the mangled body to this city.
The exact circumstances surrounding the sad affair may never be fully known. Mr. Jackman, who was 18 years of age, was about town as usual late Friday night and drove with a friend to the Lake Side pavilion north of this city. Later he went home but finally decided to take his father's car and come down town. The general impression is that he decided to ride out of town on a passing south bound freight that usually leaves Emmetsburg some time after 3 p. m. The accident occurred shortly after the train had rounded a rather sharp curve a few miles southeast of Emmetsburg. As Engineer H. N. Lee of Estherville was bringing the early morning passenger south from this city he noticed what he thought was a man's arm on the track. He stopped and removed it. He then took his train to Rodman where he notified the section men. On making a thorough search the section workers found other parts of the body and notified local authorities. During the day Paul Schaney, P. C. Jackman and others identified the body. Mr. Jackman missed his son during the early morning hours and came down town to see if he could locate him. The car was standing in front of Robt. Mulroney's clothing store but Will could not be found. The finding of the remains near Rodman naturally caused Mr. Jackman serious concern and he realized only too soon what had happened to his missing son.
The funeral was held Monday morning at 8 o'clock. The services were conducted in St. Thomas church, Father McNerney officiating. There was a very large attendance of relatives and friends. The burial was in St. John's cemetery. The pall bearers were Leo Ganley, Robt. Laughlin, Geo. Mugan, John Mugan, John Schaney and Robert McMahon.
Mr. Jackman is survived by his parents, two brothers and three sisters. The brothers are Raymond of Fort Snelling and James, who is at home. The sisters are Sister Mary Hilare of Omaha, Mrs. Tom Cullen of Cylinder and Miss Margaret of Chicago.
Mr. Jackman was a young man of pleasing personality and he had splendid natural ability. A member of the Democrat force who knew him as a classmate says that he was intellectually one of the brightest and most successful members of his class. He was genial and agreeable and he had many staunch friends among the young people with whom he mingled. His twin brother James is still in high school and is captain of the football team of 1928. The parents are among the most substantial and respected people of our county and the brothers and sisters rank high educationally, socially and in other ways. The anguish the sad affair has caused them is seldom experienced in the ordinary home. They have the heartfelt sympathy of all who know them in their trying bereavement.

Wm. Jackman Killed by Train
Thought Riding a Freight and Thrown Under the Wheels - Funeral Held on Monday - Large Crowd in Attendance.
William Jackman, eighteen year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Jackman, met tragic death early Saturday morning, under the wheels of a Rock Island train three miles south of Emmetsburg. The theory is that he was riding the southbound freight, that leaves here about 3:00 a.m., and fell under the wheels.
The body was discovered by the engineer on the southbound passenger that leaves here at 6:44 a.m. He reported his discovery to the Rodman section men, who immediately notified county officers at Emmetsburg. No inquest was held.
The body was identified by Pat Jackman and Paul Schaney, uncles of the deceased. Also, the trousers were identified by Emmet Casey, the tailor, through whom they were purchased. There is no doubt but what identity is correct.
The deceased young man was seen on the streets of Emmetsburg between 2:30 and 3:00 a.m., a short time before the above mentioned freight arrived here.
Different motives have been mentioned as being behind his action, but none have been authenticated. Rumors grow rapidly in connection with a startling event of this kind.
Funeral services were held at St. Thomas church Monday morning. Father McNerney officiated. A very large crowd attended.
The bereaved parents, brothers and sisters of the young man deserve deepest sympathy. The suddenness and the tragic nature of this death multiplies its sting several times. The entire community was soundly shocked when the news was announced.
It will be remembered that William Jackman was one of the young men who found the burglar's outfit in a haystack northwest of town early this spring.

W. Jackman Body Found By Tracks
William Jackman's Body Identified By His Twin Brother
The body of the young man which was found near the C. R. I. & P. railway tracks south of town, Saturday morning proved to be that of William Jackman, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Jackman of this place.
The engineer on the southbound Rock Island passenger train, which leaves Emmetsburg about 4:15 a.m. noticed what appeared to be the arm of a man laying on the track at a point about three miles south of town. The engineer reported to the section men at Rodman who in turn, reported to Sheriff Leo Shea. The coroner was also notified and, with E. J. Foy, went to the place where the body lay. The remains were brought to the undertaking parlors, but not until the afternoon was the body identified.
Paul Schaney identified the pants worn by this man as those of William Jackman. His twin brother, James Jackman, also identified his clothing Dr. Scott assisted in the identification, by a picture he had taken of his teeth a year or so ago, when he extracted two teeth for him.
While the story of the accident is not and probably never will be known, the supposition is that he left town on a southbound freight train during the night.
William went to the dance at the Lakeside pavilion with Mr. and Mrs. Harry Fordyce Friday night. He left them at home about 11 or 11:30 and said he was going down town for a lunch. Nothing was seen of him after that time. The next morning his car was found on the street.
He had been working about home and was his mother's best helper. She had been in poor health for the past few years and he assisted in the housework and cared for her whenever he could make her comfortable.
He had expressed a desire several times, to see some of the outside world and had told some of his companions that he was going to hike to Omaha, where his sister, Sister M. Hilliare, lives and also to Chicago to see his sister Margaret.
He was rather impulsive and made quick decisions which, is a moment, he would regret, if it occurred to him that his action was not wise. For these reasons the supposition is that he decided to go to one of these places, Omaha or Chicago, and tried to start the journey on the freight train that night, and later changed his mind and in trying to get off the train, with the resulting accident which caused his death.
Funeral services were conducted at St. Thomas church Monday morning at 8 o'clock. Rev. M. J. McNerney officiated. The pall bearers were John Schaney, Robert Laughlin, Robert McMahon, Leo Ganley, John and George Mugan. The burial was in St. John's cemetery.
William Jackman was born in Walnut township, October 8, 1911. He and his twin brother, James were the youngest of a family of six children. The family moved to Emmetsburg when William was about six years old. He attended school here and helped at home.
He was a bright lad, and had the traits which made him likable. He was of a cheerful, happy disposition and always tried to please those about him. He was exceptionally attentive and kind to his mother.
The shock to the family is one which is hard to bear, and which takes great faith and forbearance to endure.
William is survived by his parents, three sisters and two brothers. The sisters are Mrs. Lillian Cullen of Cylinder, Miss Margaret Jackman of Chicago and Sister M. Hillare of Omaha. The brothers are Raymond and James Jackman of this place. To them the Tribune extends sincere sympathy and trusts that their burden of grief will soon be lightened.
The relatives who came from out of the county to attend the funeral of William Jackman were Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Kirby of Sioux City, Mrs. Gene Kane of Onawa and Miss Alice Jackman of Woodstock, Minn. The ladies are all aunts of the deceased.

AFFORDS SOME EXCITEMENT
A team belonging to Jones & Jackman decided to afford a little excitement the other day for the denizens of the alley back of the meat market. They took it into their heads that they had been good too long and so started to run away. In the fracas they upset a couple of wagons, piled the whole works on top of a couple of chicken crates and tried to tear the back end out of Metz's Barber Shop. After diligent and patient effort on the part of the driver and all the neighborhood they were finally subdued. We are informed that a blue haze hovered over that alley for some time thereafter, due to a free use of English and non-English language.

Many At Rites For Jackman Local Pioneer
St. Thomas church was filled to overflowing Wednesday morning for funeral services for Patrick (Paddy) Charles Jackman, 82, pioneer and prominent Palo Alto county man, who died unexpectedly of an illness at his home in Emmetsburg Sunday morning.
The Rev. C. E. Farrelly, pastor, officiated and paid high tribute to a pioneer whose contribution to the communities in which he lived and St. Thomas church were great. The many friends at the rites were also evidence of the high esteem in which Mr. Jackman was held throughout the county as well as in Emmetsburg.
Active pallbearers were Bert Ryan, Charles Papadakes, Charles J. Spies, Joe Flynn, Lawrence D. Brennan, R.C. Gordon, C.E. Randa, Frank Hood and Herman Leduc.
Honorary pallbearers were Charles Papadakes, Adolph Spies of Graettinger, T. F. Kerwick, Edward D. Kelly, George A. Heald, Jr., of Spencer, K. A. Reeves, John B. Kelly, T. R. Martin, Arnold Murray, E. M. Thompson, Henry Duhn, Leo Shea, J. P. Hand, Joe McNamara, D. W. Joynt, V. L. O'Connor and Jay McCarty of Graettinger.
The Knights of Columbus attended the funeral in a body. Burial was in St. John's cemetery with the Martin Funeral home in charge.
This community was shocked and saddened by the news of the sudden death of Mr. Jackman.
It was not generally known that he had been ill, and although ailing the last couple of weeks, he had been up and about in the business district preceding Wednesday. That evening he suffered a relapse, and continued to fail, the end coming peacefully at 11:15 Sunday morning at his home, surrounded by his pastor and the members of his immediate family.
His death breaks another of the links with the generation of early pioneers who settled and developed Palo Alto county, his parents being among the original settlers in the Irish colony of Emmetsburg.
He was born in a log cabin in Walnut township, located on the family farm on the banks of the Des Moines river. This is the log cabin now standing in Harrision Park in Emmetsburg.
Patrick Charles Jackman was the son of the late Patrick R. and Margaret Brennan Jackman, and was born February 12, 1871, one of fourteen children.
During his early manhood he worked on the family farm, later purchasing a farm east of Graettinger, where he farmed for many years.
In 1904 he married Miss Abbie Carney,and to this union one son, Emmett C. Jackman of Madelia, Minn., was born. Mrs. Abbie Jackman died in 1906.
Subsequently, Mr. Jackman moved to Emmetsburg, where he entered into a partnership with Peter E. Jones, devoting the major share of his interest to the livestock business.
Since the dissolution of that partnership, he has devoted himself to caring for his farm and banking interests.
On Dec. 25, 1915, he married Mrs. Sadie White Fay, who survives. Also surviving are the son, Emmett C. Jackman; three sisters, Mrs. Robert Laughlin of Mason City; Mrs. Bridget Kane of Cherokee, and Miss Alice Jackman of Jasper, Minn., and one brother, Francis Jackman of this city. A step-son, James W. Fay, local attorney, also survives.
Mr. Jackman had many and varied interests. Always keenly interested in agriculture, he was one of the organizers of the Farmers Co-operative Creamery in Graettinger.
He was associated with the late J. A. Spies in the organization of the Bank of Graettinger, and served as a director for many years.
Continuing his interest in the banking business, he again collaborated with Mr. Spies in the formation of the Iowa Trust and Savings Bank of Emmetsburg, and served as a member of the board of directors until the time of his death.
A devout member of the Catholic church, he served for over 30 years as a trustee of St. Thomas Church, and for many years as trustee of the Thomas H. Tobin estate.
He was a charter member of the Knights of Columbus, joining the Order more than 50 years ago, serving at one time as grand knight.
In the death of "Paddy" Jackman, one of its familiar and beloved figures is taken from the life of Emmetsburg. To know him was to admire him for his may outstanding qualities of mind and heart.
He enjoyed life, he liked people, young and old, and they liked him. His cheery smile and ready Irish wit made his presence welcome in any group.
He was one of the most charitable of men, both in word and deed. Countless acts of helpfulness and aid, throughout the years, were by him given to the less fortunate, yet done so quietly that few knew of it.
Although financially successful himself, he cared not for artificial living, but was supremely happy in his own home surrounded by his family and friends.
His judgment in business matters were sound and his integrity unquestioned. His word his bond. He was rated as an exceptionally astute judge of livestock, and to the last retained his physical and mental vigor and was in close contact with his business interests.
With all the changes he had seen in his 82 years of life, he still remained keenly interested and progressive.
He had mastered the art of growing old gracefully. He died, as he would have liked, quietly and without burden to anyone. He was one of pioneers who uncomplainingly endured the countless hardships that life might be carved out for later generations.

Death of Mrs. Patrick Charles Jackman
Mrs. Patrick Charles Jackman died at her home near Graettinger last Thursday morning after an illness of some duration. The funeral was held at Graettinger Sunday. Services were conducted at the Catholic church at that place, Rev. J. J. Kelly officiating. The funeral was one of the largest ever witnessed in that part of the county. The burial was in the parochial cemetery.
Abbie Carney was born at Morris, Illinois, October 8, 1875. She was the only daughter of Mrs. Bridget Carney. The family moved to this county in 1890 and located on a farm west of Graettinger. Miss Carney was married to Patrick Charles Jackman in August, 1904. One son, Emmet, was born to them. He is two years old. Besides the child and the husband, the mother and three brothers; E. M., Frank, and James mourn her loss. E. M. is clerk of the district court. James resides in California. The deceased was widely known throughout the county. She had taught school for many years and had frequently taken an active and helpful part in local educational gatherings. She was eminently successful in her chosen calling and her worth as a worker in the classroom was recognized. Something over two years ago she became the happy bride of one who had longed cherished her confidence and who, of course, dearly prized her affections. More congenial surroundings or a more encouraging future she could not have anticipated. Their union was blessed with a hardy, prattling child. There happiness seemed complete when death's dark messenger entered and took away the joyous, hopeful mother, leaving the devoted husband disconsolate and the helpless child without that love and that kindness which only the true mother can bestow on the dearest object of her caresses. Mrs. Jackman was a pleasant, lively, warm hearted lady. There was no enmity in her nature. Though strongly attached to friends and companions, she would not treat unfairly those who did not coincide with her. She was an earnest, tireless worker and her efforts were invariably for the good of the community of which she was a member. She was ever guided in her actions by lofty Christian motives. She was loyal to the obligations imposed on her by her well defined religious convictions. Though called away in life's prime from the happy home that was so dear to her, she must have felt a soothing consolation in the consciousness that she had not failed to profit by the opportunities that had been given her and that she had performed as best she knew how life's most sacred obligations. The husband, child, aged mother, brothers and other relatives have the profound sympathy of all in their sorrow.

The bride is widely and favorably known to most of the readers of the Democrat. She has taught school for several years and as such has won well deserved recognition. She is cheery and ambitious and will make life as pleasant as possible for him to whom she has given her heart and hand.
The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. P. R. Jackman who are among the most respected pioneers of Walnut township. He is distinctly a Palo Alto boy and has, by his industry, pluck and exemplary career, made life a marked success for one of his years and his opportunities. His future is full of bright anticipation and it is the ardent wish of his many friends and acquaintances that his most cherished hopes may be realized. The Democrat extends hearty greetings to Mr. and Mrs. Jackman and the wish that the sunshine of felicity may gleam radiantly along their journey through life.

Marriage Notes for PATRICK JACKMAN and SADIE WHITE:
Emmetsburg Democrat, Wednesday, December 29, 1915
A CHRISTMAS SURPRISE
Mr. P. C. Jackman and Mrs. Sadie Fay Married at an Early Hour.
Christmas morning Mr. P. C. Jackman and Mrs. Sadie Fay gave their most intimate friends and the people of our community in general the greatest surprise of the year. At five o'clock they went to St. Thomas church and in a few moments were, by Rev. M McNerney, pronounced husband and wife. They attended high mass at the six o'clock but did not occupy the same pew. An hour later, they with a few intimate relatives, ate their wedding breakfast at the home of Mr. and Mrs. P. V. Nolan, Mrs. Nolan being a sister of the bride. During the forenoon they left over the Rock Island on an extended wedding trip. They will be absent for some time. They will, of course, make their future home in Emmetsburg.
People in general were not aware that Mr. Jackman ever thought of yielding to the admiring glances of Mrs. Fay, as they had never been observed together in public, and it was not until after they had left town that the news of their marriage was made known. Mrs. Fay was busy Friday night until ten o'clock wrapping Christmas goods in the Emmetsburg Exchange and Mr. Jackman was equally busy until a late hour in his meat market. They are among the most deserving and popular people and all will agree that the mating is a most suitable one. The Democrat wishes them health and happiness.
Child of PATRICK JACKMAN and ABIGAIL CARNEY is:

Mrs. Schany was a member of the Catholic Daughters of America and was a lifetime member of the Catholic church.

She suffered a stroke early in the morning, however, and failed to rally from its effects. Deeply religious, Mrs. Schany was a quiet, home loving person, devoted to her family.

Her death has brought sadness to the many who knew and admired her. She is survived by her husband and three children, two brothers, Francis Jackman and P. C. Jackman, three sisters, Mrs. Robert Laughlin, Mrs. Bridget Kane and Alice Jackman, and a number of grandchildren, nephews, nieces and other relatives.

Attacked by a Mad Bull
Friday Paul Schaney's little boy was attacked in the pasture by a yearling bull and was slightly injured, but escaped. Later Mr. Schaney's father, aged about 75, was attacked by the animal and had his face pretty badly cut up, though he had a pitchfork in his hands. The animal had both the old gentleman and the boy down but had no horns, which was very fortunate. When Mr. Paul Schaney, who was absent, came home he took the fork and undertook to chastise the bull, but he was glad to get outside the fence as fast as he could. A mad bull is a might dangerous animal and does not seem to mind the most brutal of punishment.

Paul Schaney Visited Frisco
Local Man Returned From West Coast Last Week. Saw Boulder Dam.
Paul Schaney, who spent the past seven weeks on the west coast, returned to Emmetsburg from San Francisco, Calif., last Saturday. Mr. Schaney spent several weeks with his daughter, Mrs. J. T. McClellan, at Menlo Park, located a short distance from San Francisco. She will be remembered as the former Miss Bernadette Schaney. Mr. McCellan holds a responsible position with the Bankers Traveling System. While in San Francisco Mr. Schany also engaged greetings with George Saunders, a former Emmetsburg resident and other former Emmetsburg people.
Mr. Schaney reports business conditions on the west coast quite brisk. San Francisco, as well as other California cities, is enjoying a great building boom. Due to the high prices of real estate, houses are built upon rather limited lots. The great California seaport is making extravagant preparations for the exposition that will be commenced next February. A large island has literally been built in the bay for this purpose. Most of the exposition buildings have been completed. There is every evidence that the fair will be large and most interesting and that it will attract a nationwide attendance.
Mr. Schaney is of the opinion that San Francisco enjoys equally as moderate a climate as other western coast cities not excluding Los Angeles. While there are the usual rainy seasons and a period each year during which fog is rather heavy, the daytime temperature in San Francisco is moderate the year around, while the nights are cool and pleasant.
During his stay in California Mr. Schaney had opportunity to visit Salina, San Jose, Oakland and other important points. The new bridge at San Francisco is one of the Wonders of the world. A toll fee of 50c per car is charged for passage over it. There is another important bridge out of San Francisco, which likewise is supported through the toll system. Mr. Schaney also visited San Mateo, the home of Mr. And Mrs. Ewart Saunders. Mrs. Saunders will be remembered as the former Edna Kerwick, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. F. Kerwick of this city. Mrs. Saunders has gained considerable local renown as a music instructor. Enroute to Emmetsburg Mr. Schaney visited Las Vegas, the site of the famous Boulder Dam. It was a grand sight. Mr. Schaney was among those who took the elevator down to a depth of 500 ft., where he had an opportunity to be impressed by the magnificence of the government project.

Funeral Held Here For Paul Schany, 82
Paul Schany, well known and well liked Emmetsburg man, died at his home here Tuesday morning at the age of 82. He had suffered from a heart condition for about 2 years but had been up and about much of that time until recent months when his condition began to fail and his death was not unexpected.
Funeral services were held this Thursday morning at St. Thomas Catholic church with the Rev. C. E. Farrelly, pastor, officiating at the requiem mass. Burial was in St. John's cemetery with Martin Funeral home in charge. Pallbearers were four grandsons, William, Robert, John and Richard Schany and Francis and Richard Jackman and Bernard Marzen of Greene.
Mr. Schany, the son of Mr. & Mrs. Matt Schany was born in Germany, coming to this country in his youth. In 1894 he was married to Miss Mary Ellen Jackman, member of a pioneer Palo Alto county family, and the couple established their home on a farm in Walnut township. They were married by the late Father John Kelly of Graettinger. Five children were born to them, two; a boy and a girl, preceding their parents in death. Mrs. Schany died the past year. Surviving are Mrs. Bernadette McClellan here and Leo Schany of near Graettinger, and a son John in California.
Twenty eight years ago, Mr. Schany retired from active farming and bought a comfortable home in Emmetsburg where he and his wife spent the remainder of their lives. For a number of years he was a familiar and popular resident of the community. He was quiet and unassuming, but enjoyed meeting his many old friends always ready to offer a cheerful word or do a kind deed for others.
He and Mrs. Schany were unusually congenial in their long life together. Since Mrs. Schany's death, the daughter, Mrs. McClellan, has cared devotedly for her father, sacrificing much of her own time to be near him in his last illness. In addition to his children, Mr. Schany leaves a sister in Charles City. Another sister and brother preceded him in death.

Mrs. Conlon Passed Away At Dubuque
The Former Margaret Jackman of This City. Suffered Stroke of Paralysis
During the Early Spring Months. Funeral at Dubuque Today.
Word reached Emmetsburg Tuesday shortly after the supper hour that Mrs. Patrick Conlon had passed away at her home at Dubuque at 6:30 p.m. Some time during the early spring she received a stroke of paralysis, her right side being affected. However, she rallied and was able to visit relatives in this locality during the month of June. Shortly before July Fourth she returned to Dubuque. About a week ago she became seriously ill. Her sisters Mrs. Paul Schany of Emmetsburg and Mrs. Gene Kane of Estherville, went to that place Friday and were with her when death came. Her brothers, Patrick Charles, Joseph and Francis Jackman of this place, also visited her at Dubuque but they returned to Emmetsburg during the first of the week.
The funeral will be held at Dubuque this morning. Interment will also be made at that place. A number of close relatives in this vicinity will attend.
Margaret Jackman, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Jackman, was born in Walnut township, this county about fifty-nine years ago. She was educated in the schools of this community. Over 26 years ago she was united in marriage to Patrick Conlon, also of this community. For some time they farmed in various parts of this county. Later they spent a few years at Huron and Sioux Falls, S. D. Upon returning to Emmetsburg seven or eight years ago, Mrs. Conlon entered the mercantile business in Emmetsburg, operating what was known as the Peggy Lee Shoppe. In 1928 she sold the establishment to Mrs. Zahrndt, its present owner, and she and her husband moved to Dubuque where they have since resided.
Besides her husband and an adopted daughter, Gertrude, she leaves three brothers and five sisters to mourn her loss. The brothers are Patrick Charles, Joseph and Francis Jackman, all of this city. The surviving sisters are Mrs. Paul Schaney of Emmetsburg, Mrs. Gene Kane of Estherville, Mrs. Thomas J. Kirby of Sioux City, Mrs. Robert Laughlin of Mason City, and Miss Alice Jackman of Millville, Minnesota. A brother, John, was killed in an accident near Bancroft eleven years ago.
In the passing of Mrs. Conlon our community loses one of its highly esteemed most worthy ladies. Her exemplary life was dedicated to the best interests of her church and the welfare of her friends and neighbors. She was a loyal, affectionate wife and she proved herself worthy of the confidence and respect of all who knew her. Having been denied the privilege of motherhood, she showered her affection on her adopted daughter who will always remember her many acts of kindness. The Democrat joins with many friends in extending sincere sympathy to the surviving relatives in their great loss.

Palo Alto Reporter, Emmetsburg, Palo Alto, Iowa, Friday, March 24, 1899
The Hero of Wicklow
The Hero of Wicklow was presented in Music Hall on last Friday afternoon and evening [Friday, Mar 17! ] by local talent in a very acceptable manner. On each occasion the company was greeted by a large and appreciative audience. The play in itself, is not as good as some of those presented on similar occasions, but it is always a difficult task to select plays that combine real dramatic worth with simplicity of presentation so essential in a home talent company without adequate scenery.
The scene of the play is laid in Wicklow, Ireland, in the latter part of the last century, made memorable by the heroic struggle which was put forth by the many sons of Erin, for liberty. The play portrayed the last smoldering embers of this struggle as presented in the real life of one of the last of these heroic leaders to yield to the inevitable and surrender to the English rule. W. I. Branagan took the part of Captain Edward Gordon, of her Majesty's forces, who when arriving in Ireland, and seeing the true state of things, and falling in love with a pretty Irish girl, he resigned his commission and left the army, and finally secured a pardon for the rebel leader, who was a former college chum, and a brother to his sweetheart. He rendered his part in a very acceptable manner.
J. F. Neary took the part of Squire Shannon, in a creditable manner. His part was not a popular one as he was the heavy villain of the play, but it must have been well rendered for strangers in the audience repeatedly hissed his vehement denunciation of the Irish rebels, and their cause, taking it for his real sentiment.
E. J. Doyle had the part of John Dricsoll, the young leader of the rebels. His part was one of the best in the play, and he performed it in an excellent manner.
Joe Joyce was in his native element, as Barney Donovan, a sprig of the old sod, and gave a very good rendition of the Irish brogue in his part. He made love like a connoisseur, rather than an amateur.
Will Conlon had an unpopular part, as Teddy Burke, the spy, but performed it in a popular manner. A villain or a spy in any play never receives the mead due to the merit of the performance.
Miss Ann Duffy, as Helen Driscoll, the sister of the young rebel leader, had a very nice part, and performed it in her usual excellent manner. It was she won the heart of Captain Gordon, the English commander, who eventually secured a pardon for her brother.
Miss Josie Dealy, as Nellie Shannon, the daughter of Squire Shannon, had a delicate and difficult part to perform, yet rendered it in a highly creditable manner. Her life had been saved by the young rebel and unconsciously she had given him her heart, and in common with Barney Donevan, planned to release Driscoll from prison. This was actually accomplished by Barney, who was fertile in schemes.
Miss KITTIE JACKMAN, as Kate Kelly, a servant in the Wicklow household, performed her part in an admirable manner. It was she and Barny Donovan that furnished the pleasantries and humorous parts of the play.
James Brennan, as Tim Burns, a servant to Squire Shannon, and Miss Nora Joynt, as Mary, who acted in the same capacity, performed the duties assigned them, very nicely.
Clark Meade, as a lieutenant, in her Majesty's service performed the duties of the commander of the British soldiers, after the resignation of Captain Gordon, in a loyal manner. He made a very good soldier, whose duty is to obey and not to think.
Among the pleasant features of the evening were the songs by Miss Josie Dealey and Mr. Joe Joyce, which were rendered in an admirable manner.

Miss Jackman Leads.
Miss Katherine Jackman, at present is the Iowa leader in the Minneapolis Tribune contest Saturday's Tribune says:
"The count in Iowa, discloses the closest race of the entire contest. Here the vote is not so heavy as in many of the other districts, and it is also more evenly distributed, so that only a few thousand votes separate the first half dozen candidates. Miss Katherine Jackman, of Emmetsburg, has forged to the front in this district with 34,250 votes to her credit. Miss Myrtle, B. Culver, of Mason City, is second with 30,500; Miss Henrietta
Olson, of Armstrong, third, with 30,150; and Mrs. Ida Hammer- Hanson, of Algona, forth, with 28,400. Miss Marie Gibbs of Alton fared well in the voting, though her again failed to bring her quite up with the others."

Miss Jackman Likely To Win
Miss Katherine Jackman seems to have an excellent chance of winning in the Minneapolis Tribune contest. Sunday's edition of the paper contains an excellent half tone cut of her and places her fourth among the contestants. She has 162,900 votes and the leading competitor, a North Dakota girl, has 205,900. She is first among the Iowa contestants. Sunday's Tribune says:
"Few contestants in any of the districts have made a more remarkable showing than has Miss Katherine Jackman, of Emmetsburg, Iowa. Miss Jackman is now in first place in her state and is running, to use a common expression, "like a prairie fire." Almost since the contest opened she has been among the leaders in the district, but it was only last week that she really showed what she could do in the matter of campaigning when she set out to do it. Thursday she sent in enough votes to put her well in the lead, and, what is more, from Emmetsburg comes an intimation that she "has only begun to run." The entire town seems interested in her success, and if she maintains anything like the pace she has set herself the whole town will probably have an opportunity to rejoice with her over her victory. However, it will take even Miss Jackman's best effort to win, as the fight in the district promises to be both close and exciting."
Thursday's Tribune seeks to stir up some strife between Emmetsubrg and Algona. It says:
"Algona has sent forth an edict that Mrs. Hammer-Hansen shall head the Iowa list or, that if she does not, she shall certainly beat out the candidate of Emmetsburg. The good people of Emmetsburg have said nothing, however, but have quietly voted for their candidate, Miss Katherine Jackman, who yesterday went up into second place, passing Mrs. Hammer-Hansen and Miss Matie Gibbes, of Alton. The two towns are only 25 miles apart and a spirited, though friendly, rivalry exists between them at all times, the Tribune contests merely serving to give this feeling an adequate means of expression."

Miss Jackman Did Not Win
We regret to report that Miss Kate Jackman did not win the
automobile in Minneapolis Tribune contest. Her total vote was 847,000. The
Dakota candidates polled over a million votes each. Their friends spent
money freely and were apparently determined to have the prize at any price.
However, we congratulate Miss Jackman on the splendid showing she made.

Wins Free Trip to St. Louis
The Minneapolis Tribune voting contest came to a close last Saturday night. Miss Katherine Jackman of this city ran away ahead of any other Iowa contestant, her total vote being 884,000. The two first prizes went to North Dakota girls, the automobile to Miss Grace Gray, of Hope, who had 1,508,400 votes. Miss Shirley Barrett of Lakota second with 1,065, 300 votes. While Miss Jackman did not win either of the two first prizes she has been splendidly rewarded in a trip to St. Louis, all expenses prepaid, for herself and a companion. The other lowa ladies who won trips to the fair are Miss Harriett Olson of Armstrong, Mrs. Ida Hammer-Hanson of Algona, Miss Edna Phillips of Rock Rapids and Miss Matie Gibbs of Alton.

Marriage Notes for CATHERINE JACKMAN and ROBERT LAUGHLIN:
The Emmetsburg Democrat, Wednesday, October 4, 1905
Were Married Monday
Mr. Robert Laughlin and Miss Katherine Agnes Jackman
Monday morning at 7 o'clock, at Assumption church, occurred the marriage of Mr. Robert Laughlin and Miss Katherine Agnes Jackman, two of the best known young people in Palo Alto county. Rev. M. McNerney, pastor of St. Thomas church, officiated, as the bride and groom have lived on the north side for many years and are to be among his future parishioners. Mr. Joseph Laughlin attended the groom and Miss Anna Jackman was a bridesmaid. The bride was gowned in cream white Eoelinne over white silk and wore a large picture hat. She a carried a white prayer book. The bridesmaid wore cream white chiffon voile and a white picture hat. The groom was attired in conventional black as was also the groomsman. The ceremonies were simple. There was an ordinary nuptial mass. Miss Mary Laughlin presided at the organ. Master William Kerwick played a violin accompaniment. Mendelssohn's beautiful wedding march was rendered as the bridal party entered the church and walked up the aisle. A large number of relatives and friends were present to witness the ceremonies. Soon after the brief rights were ended, the contracting parties were driven to the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. P. R. Jackman, of Walnut township, where the wedding breakfast was served.
Only Father McNerney and immediate relatives of the bride and groom were in attendance, though these are quite numerous. Mr. and Mrs. Laughlin left on the south-bound Rock Island passenger train for Minneapolis where they will spend a few days. During their brief stay of two hours at Livermore they were the guests of Rev. M. J. Costello, who is an intimate friend of both families.
The bride and groom were the recipients of a large number of beautiful presents consisting of cut glassware, silverware, and other highly prized, useful articles. Mr. and Mrs. Laughlin will be "at home" in this city after November 15.
These most excellent young people represent two of the oldest, best known families in the county. The groom's grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Martin Laughlin, and the bride's father, P. R. Jackman, were members of the original Irish colony that settled but a few miles northwest of the city. The bride taught school for several terms, after which she accepted the position of saleslady in the mercantile establishment of Smith and Benda, continuing in the employ of Mr. Benda after the firm dissolved. She is prepossessing, judicious, cheerful, and deserves well the high regard entertained for her by the many who have known her for so long in a business way as well as social affairs. The groom is a model young man and of most pleasing personality. He graduated from St. Mary Academy several years ago and soon after accepted a position in the First National Bank of this city. He proved his ability and worthiness and was soon after chosen assistant cashier. He has twice been chosen school treasurer - which position he has filled with credit to himself and to the district. He is today recognized, not only as one of the popular young men of Emmetsburg, but also as one of our most substantial citizens.
The Democrat extends hearty greetings to the newly wedded couple and trusts that their future may be as happy as their anticipations are hopeful.

KIRBY DEATH WIDELY FELT IN PALO ALTO
Funeral here Saturday for daughter of pioneer parents.
Funeral services for Mrs. Tom Kirby, 59, of Sioux City, former well-known Emmetsburg resident, were held in the Assumption church here Saturday morning. The very Rev. Wm. Mason offered a requiem high mass. Pallbearers were Ed Thompson, Bert Montgomery, Leo Shea and Charles Spies of Emmetsburg, George A. Freeman of Cylinder and Vesta O'Connor of Graettinger. The J. J. Martin and Son Funeral home was in charge.
Anna Jackman was born July 13, 1883, in Walnut township, the daughter of Patrick and Margaret Brennan Jackman, Palo Alto county pioneers.

About 25 years ago they moved to Sioux City where Mr. Kirby became connected with the Lee Livestock company, and advanced to the presidency of the firm.

Mrs. Kirby suffered more than a year with an incurable ailment, throughout which great patience reflected her strong Christian character. The esteem in which she was held in Sioux City was reflected in the fact that a large motor truck was necessary to transport the many floral tributes to Emmetsburg. Of her, the Sioux City Journal-Tribune states: Mrs. Kirby was a member of the Blessed Sacrament church here, and an ardent church worker. She belonged to the confraternity and the St. Therese Study club. She was a real homemaker, well posted on current affairs and admired by a host of friends for many fine qualities.

Notes for FRANCIS JOSEPH JACKMAN:
Reflections on Francis Joseph Jackman, as recalled by his son, Richard Patrick Jackman, in 2001:
So Irish he wouldn't buy oranges. Was proud of being a farmer, but may not have actually enjoyed farming. The daily discipline where milking the cows controlled every day's schedule may have been more rigid than he wanted.
He was exceptionally good at raising hogs, and I suspect that was our primary revenue source. He was at his best knowing when to sell them, what to feed them, how to keep them alive.
He entertained himself by playing the clarinet and by singing Irish songs -- some with such feeling that, whatever the occasion, would generate tears from women all around him.
Life was simple when we lived "in town." Each day he would bring home a couple of pork chops, or some beefsteak. I'd fry the meat, boil some potatoes, open a can of tomatoes. For 4 years the menu stayed pretty much the same.
His closest friends -- the Phelans (Bud and Mary), and the Ryans (Bert and Lizzie). He would play cards all night if others didn't call a halt. He and Mary Phelan would be partners and I was often drafted as a partner for Bud.
He liked an Irish "sup" -- whiskey and warm water. He liked having his feet rubbed -- a nightly ritual with rubbing alcohol.
When I was 20, having finished junior college and was about to hitchhike to Iowa City to try Journalism School, I had all my belongings in a pillow case. He came to the door, handed me $10 and said, "Save your money!" That scene never left me. It was his way of saying, "Do your best."
Ten weeks later in one of my letters home I told him I might be overmatched -- that there were a lot of smart people there and my grades might not be what he was used to seeing. He wrote back in his challenging scrawl, "You're just as good as they are." It was a turning point in sparking a competitive and rewarding college experience.
He was a farmer, a Democrat, an Irishman -- and I sensed he was proud of his six-pack of sons and daughters. He may have been seriously saddened for life by the loss of Eva, but he wouldn't show it to me. I was 39 when he died and he never mentioned her once. I read it as grief.

Notes for EVA MAY MURPHY:
Reflections on Eva Murphy Jackman, as recalled by her son, Richard Patrick Jackman, in 2001:
All my impressions are hand-me-downs. She died when I was one year old. Growing up I never really thought about her, because she was never mentioned -- which I later surmised was because of the suddenness of her death at such an early age. There were no pictures around and I do not recall one conversation with anyone about her.
Until I was 30. Then I began asking. My sisters helped fill in the puzzle. Some Murphys helped connect the dots. Protected by the luxury and emptiness of "getting to know" her long after she died, I assembled a description of her that is comfortable for me, and probably accurate:
Bright, pretty, witty, enormously Irish, devoted to the idea that each generation should take one more educational step. Probably a good dancer. Obviously a splendid work ethic. I sense that "faith" was a verb -- an active verb. I think she would have seen her children fan out to all parts of the nation and would have lead the applause, encouraging us to do so while hiding a tear so we couldn't see. All through my at-home years I sang a lot when I was on the tractor (cornstalks never booed). When I sang "An Irish Lullaby" and got to that line: ".....and I'd give the world if she could only sing to me today" -- I felt very close to her.
Reflections on Eva Murphy Jackman, as recalled by her son, John Daniel Jackman, in 2001:
All must clearly understand: At that time, to the Irish, life itself was a religious experience from cradle to grave.
On the day of Eva's funeral, just before the closing of the casket, Dad lifted me up so that an impressionable and mystified three year old could see over the edge of the casket -- the flowers, the lace, the rosary. I thought I must be in Heaven -- and beyond words to describe -- the baby on Mother's arm. Then the casket closed and the world began to spin again.
The following verse, given to me by Dorothy on a gray, hopeless autumn day in 1982, always enters my mind whenever thoughts of the family tree drift by:
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there - I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints on the snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn's rain
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled light
I am the soft star that shines at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there - I did not die.
(Author unknown)

St. Mary's Academy Will Open Sept. 5
St. Mary's Academy will open September 5th. It is hoped that parents and guardians will make an effort to have their children all in readiness for the first day's enrollment. The Sisters in charge anticipate a very good attendance, and will spare no effort to make the coming scholastic year a brilliant success.
It is most encouraging to be able to announce to the public that the returns for the recent teachers' examination show very creditable results for the class of 1910. Misses Mary Nally, Florence Morrissey, Mary Myers and Delia Deneen are the holders of second grade certificates, while Miss Mary Walsh received a third. Miss Theresa Fitzgerald now of Chicago had also secured a third grade certificate before leaving Emmetsburg. Misses EVA MURPHY and Rose Myers, who maintained a high record of scholarship during their academic course, were prevented from securing certificates by not yet having attained the age required by the state. Nearly all the members of the class had passed this examination successfully before graduation, but were under the age limit, or the term of their first certificate had expired, thus making it necessary to take the examination again.
St. Mary's Music Conservatory will also reopen for lessons on piano, organ and violin; also special voice training in class or private.

THE SHORT COURSE
The Work is Highly Deserving of the Support of Our Citizens.
The Short Course opened in this city Monday morning and is attracting a great deal of attention, although attendance in the stock judging and corn departments is not so large as it should be. Farmers and their sons certainly do not realize the advantages to be derived from this line of work, or they would be here in large numbers to take advantage of the opportunities that are offered to them. Professor McDonald of the Iowa Agricultural college has charge of the corn exhibits and judging, and Professor Bush of the same institution is conducting the live stock department. Miss EVA MURPHY of the Iowa Agricultural college is daily giving demonstrations in the Domestic Science department. So far 44 married ladies and 58 girls have entered for this important line of instruction. All are delighted with the work and feel that they will, in the end, be more than repaid for the time spent and the cost of membership tickets. Owing to the lateness of the hour and because various other items that have been handed in for publication just before going to press, we are not able to give an extended account of the many excellent features of the course. It is not too late for people to enter for the remaining few days of the course. There should be twice as many in attendance. It is hoped that many more will come in tomorrow, Friday and Saturday.
Monday evening a booster meeting on the Short Course was held at the Court House hall. Professor McDonald, Professor Bush, and Miss EVA MURPHY, who are conducting the course, made short addresses. Brief remarks were also made by Rev. Herbert Clegg, Rev. J. E. Brereton, Professor J. R. McComb, L . H. Mayne, Miss Anna Donovan and D. G. McCarty. All promised to do what they could towards encouraging the continuation of the Short Course work in this city next season. The Company K orchestra and the Junior orchestra furnished several enjoyable selections during the exercises. Herman Marks was also present with his Victrola and favored those in attendance with a few short numbers on his instrument. The entire program was highly appreciated by those who were present.

Mrs. Francis Jackman Died This Morning
Mrs. Francis Jackman died at her home northwest of Emmetsburg at 2:30 this Thursday morning. Her baby had been born six hours earlier, but did not live. She is survived by her widower and six children. At the time this is being written funeral arrangements have not been made. Also, it is too early for us to secure obituary data which will be published next week.

The Palo Alto Tribune, November 19, 1930
Young Mother Passes Beyond Thursday
One of the saddest deaths we have been called upon to chronicle is that of Mrs. Francis Jackman, which occurred about 2 a.m. Thursday, November 13.
Here a young wife and mother was called from earthly scenes, leaving a heartbroken husband and six children - all young and dependent upon a mother's care and guidance.
Death came at the birth of a baby boy who did not survive his mother. Seldom is anything sadder than was this mother lying in the casket grasping the hand of the infant son, who lay beside her, and for whom she had sacrificed her life. Yet, sad as this was, there was something so beautiful about it that eternal hope was enlivened within the heart and soul of everyone who gazed upon them.
Funeral services were held at St. Thomas church at 10 o'clock Saturday morning. Burial was in St. John's Cemetery. The pallbearers were Len Sherlock, Joe Sherlock, Joe Donahue, Adolph Spies, Bud Phelan, and Gene Kane.
Miss Eva Murphy, the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dan Murphy of Emmetsburg township, was born on July 23, 1894. She grew up in this vicinity, graduated from St. Mary's Academy, and taught school successfully for several years. She united in marriage with Francis Jackman on January 19, 1915. This ceremony took place in the Assumption Church in this city. They located on a farm in Walnut township. A beautiful new home was built - one of the finest farm homes in this county. This with excellent barns and outbuildings of every sort needed on the farm was an opening to a happy and prosperous life.
As years went on they were as prosperous as was possible for farmers to be under existing conditions and their home was one of the happiest that could be found.
This husband and wife were loving and companionable. They worked and planned together, sharing each other's sorrows and joys, and in all good time they were additionally blessed by a family of beautiful, bright children. Six of these, three boys and three girls, survived their mother. The girls are Jean 12, Mary 8, Margaret 5. The boys are Robert 10, John 3, and little Dick, who is only 18 months old.
Mrs. Jackman was a lovable woman. Her manner was mild, gentle and most attractive. She had a cheerful disposition, and was kind and pleasant to everyone. She was a wonderful mother, never failing in the least to do her full duty as such. Her husband never found her wanting. She was a good housekeeper and loved to make her home an ideally happy one.
Her death calls us all again to wonder why a Divine Providence should permit a husband and little children to be thus bereaved. Her own life imbued with a lively faith and animated with Christian faith would bid her loved ones to submit and say "Thy Will Be Done". God knows best and never forsakes His children. Time may not tell why, but eternity will bring the answer, and all will be compensated.
Besides the husband and six little children, Mrs. Jackman is survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Dan Murphy, and four brothers, Gene, Earl, Maurice and Francis Murphy. To them the Tribune extends sincere sympathy and trusts that time will soon soothe their sorrow.

MRS. F. JACKMAN MOTHER OF SIX CALLED THURSDAY
Our many citizens learned with painful surprise of the death of Mrs. Francis Jackman, which occurred at her home northwest of this city early Thursday morning. She had given birth to a child but the mother and the child both died. The funeral was held Saturday forenoon. Services were conducted in St. Thomas church, Rev. M. McNerney, assisted by Father Kelly of Graettinger, officiated in a requiem high mass. Father Kelly gave a very impressive sermon, paying a high, well deserved tribute to the worth of Mrs. Jackman as a loving, dutiful mother and as an exemplary Christian woman. The burial was in St. John's cemetery. There was an unusually large attendance of relatives and friends. A number came from a distance.
Eva Murphy was born in Emmetsburg township July 22, 1894. Her age was 36. She grew to young womanhood in her home community. January 19, 1915, she was united in marriage to Francis Jackman. Mr. and Mrs. Jackman located on their farm several miles northwest of Emmetsburg where they subsequently resided. Mrs. Jackman's death is mourned by her beloved husband and six sons and daughters - Jean, Robert, Mary, Margaret, John and Richard. All are comparatively young. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Murphy, four brothers - Eugene, Earl, Maurice and Francis - also reside in this locality.
Emmetsburg had no better, truer wife and mother than Mrs. Jackman. She was a member of one of Emmetsburg township's pioneer and most exemplary families. She grew up a dutiful, loving, obedient young lady. Her virtues were numerous. Her devotion to her parents, brothers and friends endeared her to them. She was fortunate in her social attachments and she became the wife of one of our community's highly deserving young men. Six sweet children blessed their happy home. Providence seemed to smile on all of her aims and efforts but there is sooner or later keen disappointment in every life and it often comes when the outlook is most promising. However, though her sacrifice was supreme, she yielded willingly to God's will and she answered with humble submission the dreaded summons. General and heartfelt sympathy is offered to the sorrowing husband and the six motherless children, some of whom are too young to realize the irreparable loss they have sustained.

The young couple left the same morning for Sioux City. They will be absent a few weeks and upon their return they will begin housekeeping on his farm in Walnut township where he erected a fine new home and has everything in readiness for his wife. The bride is very worthy and ranks high among the intelligent and well educated young ladies of the county. She has been teaching school for several years, since her graduation from St. Mary Academy and has won an enviable reputation as a capable teacher. She has many charms and graces that makes her a genuine favorite. The groom is the youngest son of Patrick Jackman of Walnut township. He is in a financial way, probably as well off as any young man in the county. He is active, industrious, wide awake and will succeed beyond a doubt. He owns and operates one of the very best farms in our county. Besides this he is a young man of integrity and good habits. The Tribune is sincere in extending our very best wishes to Mr. and Mrs. Jackman and trusting that all of their lives will be blessed with peace and happiness.

CHAS. JACKMAN REPRESENTATIVE IN NEBRASKA
Mrs. W. E. Jackman phones us that her nephew, Charles Jackman, a son of the late Patrick Jackman, was elected state representative at Grand Island, Nebraska, November 4. He is vice president of the Farmer's Cooperative Insurance Association of that place. He has been with the company since it was first organized. He is a gentleman of perhaps 44. He left this locality when a comparatively small boy. Grand Island is a prosperous place of 15,000. Mr. Jackman is a democrat. The democrats of Nebraska not only elected their governor but also quite a number of members of the state legislature. Many of them supported Mr. Hitchcock, publisher of the Omaha World-Herald, their party choice for U. S. senator, but many others voted for the reelection of Senator Norris, one of the most upright and capable men in public life.

Mickie Jackman's Grandson Candidate For Governor
V. L. O'Connor of Graettinger calls our attention to an item which recently appeared in the Grand Island, Nebraska, Daily Independent in regard to the candidacy for governor of Nebraska of Charles E. Jackman, formerly of this city. Mr. Jackman is a first cousin of Mrs. Wm. H. J. Steiner of Emmetsburg, and a nephew of Joe Kliegl, Sr., of Cylinder. He is also a grandson of the late "Mickie" Jackman, well known to many old timers.
Mr. Jackman is being pressed for the governor nomination by Gov. Byran, who intends entering the senate race. At present Mr. Jackman is a representative from the Grand Island district. He has served for several terms, and is a popular member of the democratic party.

Jackman Not Seeking Any Public Office
Two terms in the legislature are enough to satisfy State Representative Charles E. Jackman of Grand Island. In fact, he has about made up his mind that office holding in general is hardly worth the time, trouble and expense.
"Some of my friends at Grand Island have suggested that I become a candidate for governor." Jackman said at the capitol Saturday, "but I suppose that's just a little hot air they are giving me. Anyway, I have no idea at this time of being a candidate for any public position."

Says Position of Drys Wrong
Repeal Leader Thinks They Should Help With Suggestions
OMAHA, Nov. 23 (AP)
Charles E. Jackman of Grand Island, president of the Nebraska Repeal League, said here today that he viewed the stand of the Anti-saloon league announced in Lincoln Friday as "unsportsmanlike."
Commenting on the announced intention of the league to demand a referendum on whatever form of liquor control legislation is enacted, Jackman said, "You would think that with repeal carrying the state by nearly 110,000 votes the Anti-saloon league would begin to suspecting the people really want repeal. Instead of adopting a sniping and obstruction policy, it would be much more becoming if the league would agree to cooperate with suggestions as to what form of liquor control should be enacted."
Look For Emergency Clause.
Jackman expressed confidence there would be sufficient majorities in both houses of the legislature to pass a liquor control act with the emergency clause. A two-thirds majority in each house is needed to attach the emergency clause.
"We don't want to see liquor dealers established next door to schools and churches," he said. "I think some restriction is necessary, but there are some dealers who simply won't use their heads, as we've seen with beer."
Jackman said he believed there should be local option, limitations as to locations, and a license fee high enough to hold down the number of places selling liquor.

FIRST PRIZE TO GERTRUDE JACKMAN
Wins Easily in U.D.M. Valley Declamatory Contest
Miss Gertrude Jackman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Jackman, who live north of Emmetsburg, won first over all in the Upper Des Moines Valley declamatory contest at Estherville Friday evening. She received a gold medal. Her selection, which was in the dramatic class, was "Elizabeth." She is a senior in the Emmetsburg High School and is one of our county's highly deserving young ladies. Of course our many citizens are glad to congratulate her on her victory. Representatives of eleven schools contested for the honors awarded - Estherville, Hartley, Lake Park, Rock Rapids, Ruthven, Sanborn, Sheldon, Sibley, Spencer, Spirit Lake and Emmetsburg. Hence the honor is one of which Miss Jackman can feel justly proud. The Milford contestant did not reach Estherville on time to appear on the program on account of tire trouble. The exercises took place in the M. E. church. For some reason Estherville did not provide a very large audience. Miss Jackman was accompanied by her coach, Miss Boyd and her friend, Miss Angela Kelly.
Gordon Macnob of Rock Rapids won first in his class and second over all in his oratorical selection, "Mark Anthony's Funeral Oration," receiving the silver medal.
Miss Lyle Olson of Spencer took third in the humorous selection, "Over the Bannister."........

The Sentinel, Hanford, CA, August 19, 2001
County HSA director plans retirement
By Maria G. Ortiz-Briones
Sentinel Reporter
HANFORD - After almost 37 years of working for the county and almost 20 years serving as the Human Services Agency director, William H. Gundacker announced his retirement effective the end of December.
Asked the reason for his retirement, Gundacker, 58, said that he won't be retiring, he will just stop signing his time card. He said he'll have a new job - taking care of his grandson two days a week.
"That is my whole reason for leaving," Gundacker said of the opportunity to care for his grandson Zachary, 4. In addition, he will remain involved in the community in various different ways.
Gundacker said his retirement does not come as a surprise; a year ago he told the Kings County Board of Supervisors of that possibility.
Asked if his retirement has something to do with the rumors that he is considering running for Hanford City Council, Gundacker didn't comment. Many people has asked him about the rumor, but at this point he said he has not made up his mind about pursuing a political career.
Even though Gundacker has already received a couple of full-time job offers, his primary objective is to spend two days with his grandson, and the rest of his time will be use to continue helping the community.
Gundacker said he enjoyed his job because he never had a slow day in his involvement with people and the community.
"There are always things going on," Gundacker said.
Among the many things Gundacker said he will miss from his job is working with the employees, the Board of Supervisors and the community. He said he will, however, maintain those relationships to some extent.
What Gundacker didn't like about the job were changes that occurred at the state level over the years. He said those changes included the state taking away the county power to make local decisions, and leaving the county short of money for programs by taking county property tax money.
Another thing that Gundacker definitely won't miss is the long drive to Sacramento for meetings.
Gundacker said the job was a complicated one; especially when it came to dealing with child protection and personnel issues.
Finding and hiring quality staff can make the job harder, Gundacker said. "It's a tough job, you are on duty 24 hours a day," he said of social work.
Gundacker - a longtime resident of Kings County - grew up in the Lemoore area.
He graduated from Lemoore High School in 1960, then attended College of the Sequoias before earning his bachelor's degree in Sociology from California State University, Fresno. Gundacker then when to graduate school at CSUF and Chapman University to pursue a master's degree in Business Administration.
Gundacker started working for the county on April 14, 1965 as a social worker.
"When I started here I was the youngest person in the department," he said.
In 1968, Gundacker became the social work supervisor. In 1973, he left the Human Services Agency to go to the administration office to start running the employee training program; an administration program at the time called the Kings County Employment and Training Agency.
In 1979, Gundacker came back to the Human Services Agency as the program manager for social services, and in August 1982 he became the director of the agency.
Working for the county, Gundacker said, he had the opportunities to move up the ladder. Since the beginning, Gundacker said his goal was to be the director of the Human Services Agency.
"Time flies so fast," Gundacker said. "Decade-wise, I have worked for the county in the '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, and now the '00's."
Even though it's a hard and stressful job, Gundacker said his philosophy is to have a fun place to work. Humor is important to have, he said.
Gundacker said he stayed in the field of human services and social work because of the opportunity to help people and at the same time he had many opportunities to improve his career.
Gundacker said he stayed in the area, and worked for the community of Kings County for so many years because it was a neat place to settle and raise his children.

ST. ELLEN ACADEMY CLOSES
Eight Finish Eighth Grade. The Awarding of Honors.
A very successful year in St. Ellen's academy was brought to a close last week. Thursday enjoyable exercises were held in the church hall. The small children gave an interesting play and later the boys appeared in a creditable production. The girls of the academy followed in a number that was greatly enjoyed by the parents and friends of the pupils who were present. We have heard only words of praise for the entire program. Sunday evening diplomas for the completion of the eighth grade were awarded to Gordon Pratt, Gregson Pratt, James Duhigg, James White, WINIFRED JACKMAN, Katherine Ganley, Agnes McElroy, Phyllis Shea, Cassie Laughlin, and Guida Kane. The prize for the best examination in Irish history was won by James Duhigg and the Christian doctrine prize by Phyllis Shea. John Laughlin was given the prize for application and Eileen Fitzpatrick for perfect attendance. Father Lynch of Ayrshire delivered an interesting address in which he complimented the members of the class on the creditable showing they had made. He urged the boys and girls to persevere in their zeal for the acquisition of knowledge and their love of things spiritual. He complimented highly the good Sisters and Father McNerny for all that they had done to promote Christian education and hoped the people of the parish would support them earnestly in their efforts. The total enrollment for the year was in the neighborhood of 120.

Tommy Jackman In Snappy Event
At Mason City Thursday - Honors About Even. Phillips, Algona, Puts Out His Man.
Emmetsburg was represented on the boxing card at Mason City Thursday evening by Tommie Jackman and Battling Baker. In its account of the two bouts, the Daily Globe Gazette says:
"Lewis Maney of Manly shaded Tommy Jackman of Emmetsburg in a four round preliminary by taking the second and fourth rounds and drawing with Jackman in the other two. Both boxers worked fast through the first two rounds, keeping their guards well in hand and watching for an opening, Maney got the opening late in the second to drop Jackman to his knee for no count. After another even round of close guarding, Maney cut loose at Jackman, who returned blow for blow and they closed with the Manly flash working slightly faster.
"Clarence Bork of Grafton knocked out Battling Baker of Emmetsburg in the first round with a right to the solar plexus that sent the Emmetsburg boy rolling through the ropes."
The main bout of the evening was between Clarence Phillips of Algona and Johnnie O'Hara of St. Paul in a six round event. The decision was given to the Algona participant. There was no knockout.

Brooder and 310 Chickens Burned on Jackman Farm
At midnight Tuesday fire destroyed a 12x16 brooder house and nearly 31 six weeks old chickens on the Jos. Jackman farm in the northwest part of Emmetsburg. The brooder house and chickens were the property of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Cullen and family who live with Mr. Jackman on the place. Some chicken feed was also destroyed. The Emmetsburg fire department was called to the scene of the conflagration and they promptly responded. The brooder house was situated only a few yards away from a garage but no further damage was done. The brooder house, is, we understand, covered by insurance.

Mrs. Cullen, 44, Dies Suddenly, Many At Rites
Mrs. Thomas J. Cullen, 44, prominent Emmetsburg resident and daughter of a widely known pioneer family, died unexpectedly at her home at the northwest edge of town Friday morning following a severe heart attack. Mrs. Cullen suffered an earlier attack Thursday evening at her home. A physician and a clergyman were summoned and she appeared to rally. On Friday morning, she seemed better but the second attack followed, resulting in death.
Funeral services were held Monday morning at St. Thomas Catholic church, with the Rev. C. E. Farrelly officiating at the requiem high mass. Pall bearers were Charles Spies, Gene Cole, Lawrence Brennan, George Freeman, Basil McEvoy and George Kliegl. The church was filled to capacity, with even the vestibule and entry ways filled with people, some standing. Classmates of the Cullen children from both St. Ellen's and the High School attended, as did the Catholic Daughters of America and the Fortnightly clubs to which Mrs. Cullen belonged. Many Cylinder residents came, the Cullens having resided there for many years.
Burial was in St. John's cemetery, with the Martin Funeral home in charge. Born in Emmetsburg, Mrs. Cullen was the former Lillian Jackman, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Joe Jackman. She graduated from the local High School where she was active in many school events and later attended Clarke College, Dubuque. She taught school for three years and was known as a successful, well-liked instructor.
In 1923, she married Thomas Cullen, prominent Cylinder farmer, and for several years they resided near Cylinder where Mrs. Cullen was affiliated with the Women's Club and was very active in community affairs. When Mrs. Cullen's mother died in Emmetsburg, the Cullens moved to the Jackman farm where they have since made their home. There are four children; Pvt. Jack Cullen, who is serving overseas in France; Gene, Kitty and Irene, all Emmetsburg school students.
Lillian Cullen possessed a most engaging and friendly personality. Her delightful sense of humor endeared her to her many friends and she was a highly intelligent, understanding person. She made an ideal mother, sharing her children's interests and problems, and she was rightfully proud of their outstanding musical talents. Like many mothers, she was much concerned over her son, Jack, serving overseas. A source of consolation to her family was the fact that she received a Mother's Day cablegram from him a day or so before she died, which made her very happy. Mrs. Cullen had not been in robust health for several years, but she carefully followed her physician's advice and never admitted to her friends that she felt ill, if she did. She did more than her share in club and church activities and was deeply religious. Her death is mourned by countless friends and her passing is a distinct loss to the community. To her husband and children, deepest sympathy is extended in the death of their devoted wife and mother.
Surviving sisters and brothers, all of whom came here at her death, are Dr. Raymond Jackman of the Mayo hospital, Rochester, Minn., Dr. James Jackman, Erie, Pa., Mrs. Frank Spencer of Chicago and Sister Mary Hilaire of Clinton.

Margaret Jackman Goes to Europe
Tuesday morning Mrs. Joe Jackman of this place informed our reporter that her daughter, Miss Margaret, left Chicago Monday for Cleveland where she will visit the Misses McElroy. From there she will go to New York to call on Miss Cassie Laughlin. She will sail for Europe July 7. She will visit London, Spain, France, Rome, Germany and possibly Ireland. She will meet in Germany Miss Alice Wildy, formerly of Graettinger. Miss Jackman will spend some time in Spain, as she teaches the Spanish language in Calumet High in Chicago. Through the influence of Bishop Heelan of Sioux City and Fathers McNerney of this city and Kelly of Graettinger, she will secure an audience with the pope. Father Kelly's nephew, John Kelly, is studying for the priesthood in Rome and he will make a special effort to show her the many places of historic interest in the Eternal City. She will return to Chicago early in September. She will have a wonderful trip.

Miss Margaret Jackman's Chicago Scrip is Good
Mrs. Jos. Jackman of this city, in response to an inquiry, tells our reporter that her daughter, Miss Margaret, who has been teaching in Chicago for several years, has not been able to draw compensation except in the form of scrip since last April. However, the paper she received is drawing six per cent and is accepted in exchange for goods at many places but quite a number of the teachers felt confident that it had true value and they kept it. A great city like Chicago cannot, of course, repudiate its obligations to its school room workers.

Notes for MAEVA MARIA SPENCER:
San Francisco Chronicle, Sunday, May 16, 2004
Maeva Neale -- pediatrician, activist
Dr. Maeva Neale, a noted pediatrician and social activist in Pescadero, died May 8 after a yearlong battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. She was 60.
Whether providing medical care to children in Kenya or fighting sewage dumping near Pigeon Point, she was a woman who loved people and poetry, made many friends, and was a skilled diplomat in community activism.
She was born Maeva Maria Spencer on Aug. 5, 1943, in Chicago, the sole child of high school Spanish teacher Margaret and Frank Spencer, who taught history and economics at community colleges in Illinois.
Social conscience counted in the Spencer household: Maeva's father was also a lay Unitarian minister.
In high school in Chicago, Dr. Neale excelled in math and was a member of the school math team. At Cornell University, she majored in Russian studies. She also learned several languages besides Russian, including Swahili. She received her medical degree from UCSF.
In 1965, she married Peter Hopcraft, an economist and citizen of Kenya whom she met at Cornell. They moved to Kenya for 10 years, where she practiced pediatrics and he taught economics at the University of Nairobi. They had two children, Ama and Geoffrey.
The couple divorced in 1978. After returning to the United States, she married John Neale, a doctor of emergency medicine at Stanford, in 1980. In the late 1980s, they lived in Saudi Arabia, where he worked as a physician and she developed her skills as a writer of poetry, less from a desire to be published than to share her reflections with others, her daughter says.
In 1989, they moved to the seaside community of Pescadero south of San Francisco. There, she served 10 years on the Pescadero Municipal Advisory Council, and served as its chair for one year.
She played a pivotal role in the successful fight against the use of chemical sprays along local roads, urging instead that vegetation be left in place or removed manually; and also against a plan by private waste disposal companies to discard sewage into the ground near Pigeon Point.
She also participated in a conference in Russia in the early 1990s on the impact of pollution on Russian youngsters. The latter activity won her a letter of commendation from first lady Hillary Clinton.
In January 2003, the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors passed a long resolution honoring her for "10 years of dedicated service" to the Municipal Advisory Council.
In the next edition of the Congressional Record (dated May 17), Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Atherton, has posted a tribute to Dr. Neale, calling her "a hero to those who lived in the coast side town of Pescadero ..."
Survivors are her husband John and their two children, Ama Zenya Lewis of Oakland, and Geoffrey Hopcraft of Santa Rosa. A memorial service is scheduled for 4 p.m. today at Pescadero Community Church, 363 Stage Road, Pescadero.

Title: Tribute to Maeva Neale in Memory of a Leader, Environmentalist, Poet, Scholar and Doctor
Location: Washington, DC

TRIBUTE TO MAEVA NEALE IN MEMORY OF A LEADER, ENVIRONMENTALIST, POET, SCHOLAR AND DOCTOR -- (Extensions of Remarks - May 17, 2004)
SPEECH OF HON. ANNA G. ESHOO OF CALIFORNIA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MONDAY, MAY 17, 2004
Ms. ESHOO. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor my constituent Maeva Neale who passed away on May 8, 2004. She was a physician, leader, a poet, and a hero to those who lived in the coastside town of Pescadero, California. She lived a life filled with values, devoting herself to improving the lives of everyone around her.
Maeva Neale was born in Chicago, the daughter of a minister and Spanish teacher. She majored in Russian studies at Cornell University and was fluent in Swahili, Spanish, French, German, and Arabic. She began medical school at the University of Chicago and completed her studies at the University of California at San Francisco. In the spirit of her thirst for knowledge and adventure, she moved to Kenya for a decade where she practiced medicine and raised her two children, Ama and Geoffrey. Looking for new adventure, she then moved to Saudi Arabia for two years.
In 1989, our community was blessed with Maeva Neale's decision to move to Pescadero, where one of her first acts as a member of our community was to foil an attempt to drop sewage sludge above the ecologically vital coastal area of Pigeon Point. She spent ten years on the Pescadero Municipal Advisory Council, including one as the Chair, leading the drive to stop chemical spraying along Pescadero's roadways. She wrote volumes of beautiful poetry in several languages that were illustrated by local artists and was commended by President Clinton for her work on behalf of Russian children who were devastated by severe pollution.
Mr. Speaker, it is with a heavy heart that I rise to honor the life of Maeva Neale. She brought our community together, no matter how divergent its opinions. She was an artist and a healer, and always was an inspiration to me. I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring and remembering Maeva Neale for her extraordinary life of service to our community and humanity. We are better people because of her gentleness, her leadership and her incredible spirit.

Dr. Jackman Knows How to Do It
Dr. Ray Jackman, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Jackman of Emmetsburg, while returning to his home in Fort Dodge after visiting his parents here recently, had an unusual experience, recorded in the "Old Home Town" department of the Fort Dodge Messenger, as follows:
"Driving home from Emmetsburg last Sunday night he ran into a hog and killed it. The hog's owner, hearing the crash of the car meeting pig, quickly appeared on the scene, rather than justified by the present price of pork, Ray picked up the slain pig and toted it back to the farm house, where he dissected it in approved surgical technique. Then he pitched in and helped the farmer milk twelve cows. When this chore had been completed, he went on his way accompanied by the hearty thanks of the farmer and his family.
"There's a moral somewhere in this tale for the farm relief advocates."

Dr. Ray Jackman's Close Call on Crossing
Ft. Dodge Daily Messenger: Congratulations, Dr. Jackman! What for? Why, that narrow escape you had this noon. And what was that? Oh, hadn't you heard? Here's a man to be congratulated.
Dr. Ray Jackman was answering a call in most professional manner today. His course of travel took him across the Great Western tracks in the east end of town. And just as he got well on the tracks his engine stalled. No effort of his could start it.
And just like in the movies, down the track came thundering the noon mail train a good bit late, but that doesn't alter the harrowing qualities of the situation. All the neighbors and passerby lent a hand with a will, and almost within seconds of the time that the train roared by, they lifted (yes, literally) his car off the tracks.
Congratulations? Well, it depends on your point of view, says Dr. Jackman.

Dr. Ray Jackman In Car Collision
Son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Jackman of This City Collides With Train at Marshalltown. Slightly Injured.
Dr. R. J. Jackman of Laurens, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Jackman of Emmetsburg, had a narrow escape. Saturday night when the car in which he was riding with two companions, Miss Lois Hovenden, also of Laurens, and William Doyen, collided with an M. & St. L. Passenger train at a crossing in Marshalltown. Dr. Jackman suffered several contusions and sprains about the body. He received medical attention in the Marshalltown hospital. He was able to return to his home at Laurens. Miss Hovenden was more seriously hurt. She had several teeth knocked out and suffered minor cuts and bruises. She remained in the Deaconess hospital until the following morning. William Doyen, the other occupant, escaped injury. The car, which was a hudson sedan, was dragged several feet. It was quite badly damaged.
The fact that the train in leaving the Union station in Marshalltown has a sharp grade to ascend was attributed as the reason no more serious injuries were sustained by the passengers for the train had not attained a very high rate of speed.
Dr. Jackman had been to Iowa City with a patient. Miss Hovenden stopped in Fort Dodge to spend the evening with friends.

Jackman - Hovenden
Emmetsburg friends were pleased to learn Sunday of the marriage of Dr. R. J. Jackman of this city, and Miss Lois Hovenden, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. H. J. Hovenden of Laurens, which occurred in Chicago Thursday. The happy couple are at present enjoying a trip by car to Washington, D. C., New York and Philadelphia. In a couple of weeks they intend to return to Laurens where Dr. Jackman will resume his practice in partnership with Dr. Hovenden.
Dr. Jackman is, of course, well known to Emmetsburg people. As we stated above, he is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Jackman of this city. After completing his high school studies in Emmetsburg he went to Iowa City where he studied medicine. He graduated with the class of 1930. He spent the next year as an intern in a Kansas City hospital and later was employed as a house surgeon in Mercy hospital at Fort Dodge for several months. He located at Laurens two years ago. During the past six months he has been physician-in-charge of a group of 228 men who are doing reforestation work at Big Falls, Minnesota.
The bride is not so well known in Emmetsburg but we understand that she is a young lady of fine capabilities, well educated and is exceedingly popular among the Laurens people.
The Democrat joins with many friends in wishing Dr. and Mrs. Jackman success and happiness.
Children of RAYMOND JACKMAN and LOIS HOVENDEN are:

Notes for COLETTE ANN JACKMAN:
Post-Bulletin, Rochester, Minnesota, Saturday, May 27, 2000
PROGRESSIVE TEACHER NEVER LOOKS BACK
Colette Miller was always ahead of her time
Colette Miller has been working at Aldrich Memorial Nursery School for 30 years.
Colette Miller, just retired from 30 years at Aldrich Memorial Nursery School, will be remembered as the teacher who let children decorate her red Datsun truck with plastic flowers and take unusual field trips, one to the cemetery.
"She stayed fresh and innovative," director Dorie Johnson said.
About halfway into her career at Aldrich, Miller learned American Sign Language and has since used it regularly, whether she had children with hearing loss in class. She worked with special needs youngsters, and encouraged residents of Real Life, the neighboring senior living cooperative, to "adopt" an Aldrich class.
She won praise for respecting diversity long before it became a classroom buzz word.
"Colette was an advocate. She honored individual differences É and in fact celebrated them," her director said.
There is a saying that a child's work is play. "Children learn by everything they do, everything they hear, and everything they see," Miller said between classes last week. "A lot of what I do is set the time and the environment so they can't fail."
She also believes in letting children take as much responsibility as possible. "If they take their shoes off, which they love to do, part of their learning is the consequences: Having to find the shoes and put them back on."
Aldrich's precursor dates back to the 1940s. In 1944 the Mayo Foundation established the Rochester Child Health Institute, under the direction of Dr. C.A. Aldrich, to carry out an ambitious study of children. He and a women's group founded a demonstration nursery school with sessions in each neighborhood. In 1954 a hotel was purchased and moved for a school, and the present site was built at 855 Essex Parkway.
Miller was hired by Helen Remley, a beloved longtime director.
"This was set up as an open and caring place and it has had a tremendous influence on me," she said. She especially values what she calls "the encouraging thing," which she says relates to staff and teachers and parents and children. Her own three children attended the school.
Her retirement goal is to run the 26-mile Med City Marathon "as a spiritual journey, giving myself back to me." And if she speaks in the present tense about her work, it's because she looks forward to subbing at Aldrich whenever she's needed.

February 1999
Palo Alto Medical Foundation
Radiologist Roger Jackman: 'A Passion for Excellence'
A patient once wrote of radiologist Roger Jackman that he was "a doctor with a passion for excellence."
That note encapsulates what he would like to remember of his 30 years at PAMF, he said.
Dr. Jackman, along with more than 100 others, were honored for their years of service at the annual awards ceremony on Feb. 24.
This " passion for excellence" and love of his family were the main reasons why he went into diagnostic radiology instead of a primary care field, he said.
"I was going to go into internal medicine, but I was so driven to make sure that everything was going right with the patients that I could never pry myself away from the hospital during medical school," he said. "I was married with two children and it was completely destructive for me and my family ."
By going into radiology, "I could do things with a great passion, yet at the end of the day feel that I could leave and go home."
One of the great dilemmas of medicine is "for the patients to feel they are getting the care they need and deserve, yet for you to still have a life of your own, " he said.
The radiology field Dr. Jackman entered was vastly different from today - there were no ultrasound, CT (computer tomography) or MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) machines.
Physicians were mainly trained to read standard x-rays of the bones or chest, for example, and do arteriography (injecting dye into the arteries). "For the newer imaging techniques, I had to train on the job," Dr. Jackman said. "Only about 15% of what I do I was trained to do in radiology residency."
One of the main procedures Dr. Jackman does now for diagnosing breast cancer is an advanced needle biopsy called stereotactic Mammotome biopsy. The procedure has dramatically reduced the need for additional surgery for breast malignancies.
"It's had a huge impact on the clinical care of patients. It keeps them out of the hospital and operating room," Dr. Jackman said.
It also has had a major impact on Dr. Jackman, himself, by giving him the patient interaction he enjoys.
"I had missed the patient contact in the early years, so it's gratifying to be doing biopsies."
Dr. Jackman has always found radiology to be an intellectual challenge and extremely interesting because of its crossover with many different specialties.
The radiologist has been called "the doctor's doctor," he said, "We are trying to help other doctors sort through medical problems and together we come up with what imaging studies might move the process along."
This team approach is also what drew him the Palo Alto Medical Clinic after training in radiology at the Mayo Clinic, where is father was also a physician. "The team approach of a multispecialty clinic really puts the patient first," Dr. Jackman said. "I came here convinced that that was the way to practice, and I will leave here in a few years feeling the same way."

Dr. Jackman's 'Dedicated Service'
At PAMF's annual service awards luncheon, Feb. 24, 1999, fellow radiologists Solon Finkelstein spoke of Dr. Roger Jackman's "dedication to the department, the Clinic and the community" for 30 years.
He is "one of the finest radiologists and human beings I know, " Dr. Finkelstein said.
"The Clinic will never see another physician like him."

Jackman won the Big Ten Conference 50-yard and 100-yard championships three times each and was a two-time NCAA winner in both events. He just missed qualifying for the 1964 Olympic Games.

Dr. James Jackman In Flood District
Joseph Jackman of this city recently received the following communication from his son, Dr. James Jackman, who is serving an internship in one of the hospitals in Cincinnati, Ohio. In the letter to his father Dr. Jackman gives some interesting highlights of the damaging flood that swept the Cincinnati area during the past couple of weeks.
Cincinnati, Ohio, Jan. 31
Mr. Jos. Jackman
Emmetsburg, Iowa
Dear Father:
Water, water, everywhere, and not a drop to drink, shave with, bathe, or flush the toilets. That is the paradoxical situation here. I imagine you have read and listened to reports of the flood, and what a flood. I was downtown a couple of days ago and in the main business section for a distance of 6 blocks from the Ohio river the streets and avenues are under 8 to 15 feet of water, with boats going up and down between the tops of buildings. From Eden Park, which is situated on a bluff above the river looking towards Kentucky, one can see the streets and occasionally a house, barn or garage comes floating down the river.
The hospital itself is far removed from the flood area but since the pumping stations are flooded there is no water except what is made from ice. The hospital has its own lighting system but the rest of the city is in darkness and the candle people are having a boom. Some of the interns are out on flood relief. I am slated to go out tomorrow. All operations except emergencies have been suspended at the hospital.
The hospital is 4 or 5 miles from the flood area and we are affected only by the inconvenience of no water. The weather here aside from excessive rain is quite warm. No snow and the grass is green.

Dr. Jackman to South America
The following taken from the Laurens Sun concerns a former resident of Emmetsburg, the son of the late Joe Jackman:
Dr. James Jackman, who has been associated with Dr. Hovenden, left yesterday on an extended vacation. On February 4th he will sail on the S. S. Delsud from New Orleans for a two and a half months tour of South America. He will stop at all the leading cities along the Atlantic coast, especially Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires on the way down and then will stop at Santos and other places on the way back. It is intimated that an important event in his life will occur before he starts on the trip, about which the doctor was a little diffident in discussing. But no one blames him, for his partner Dr. Hovenden, several years ago passed several uneasy hours when, he lost his marriage certificate because he talked too much.

Emmetsburg Democrat, Wednesday, April 6, 1921
Schaney-Higgins
This morning, at an early hour, Mr. Leo Schaney and Miss Loretta Higgins of this city were united in marriage at the Assumption church, Monsignor P .F. Farrelly officiating. The groom was attended by his friend, Mr. Matthew Kane, and the bride by her sister, Miss Mary Higgins. Only a few intimate relatives and friends were present at the nuptial mass. On repairing to the home of the bride's father, Mr. J. J. Higgins, of this city, the bride and groom and a few invited guests enjoyed a sumptuous wedding dinner. Mr. and Mrs. Schaney left during the day on a wedding trip. On their return they will live on the farm of P. R. Jackman, grandfather of Mr. Schaney.
The bride grew to womanhood in the vicinity of Ayrshire. In 1918 the family moved to Emmetsburg. A couple of years ago she took a course in the Domestic Science department of the Iowa State College at Ames. She was for some time employed in the millinery department of the Geyerman Garment store. Her pleasing personality and her disposition, which is always happy and cheerful, have made her a favorite with the young people among whom she has mingled.
The groom is the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Schaney, so well and favorably known to our many local readers. He is energetic, industrious and wide awake and has proven himself exceptionally capable in the lines in which he has applied himself. He is a hustler and will doubtless prove himself a successful farmer. We need not say that a wide circle of relatives and well wishers unite with the Democrat in offering hearty congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Schaney.

Funeral Held For Mickey Schany, Killed in Crash
John "Mickey" Schany, 26, son of Mr. and Mrs. Leo Schany of south Graettinger, was killed instantly at 1:10 Friday afternoon in a motorcycle-car collision on Highway 17 a short distance south of Estherville.
A MEMBER of the maintenance crew at Holy Family hospital there, Mickey had received a letter earlier in the day from his brother, Richard, with the Marines in California, and was driving his motorcycle to Graettinger to give the letter to his parents when the accident occurred.
Schany, south bound, had passed a car driven by Frank Shipley and was just opposite a tractor- drawn load of hay, also south bound, when he collided with the north bound car of Gilbert V. Osher of Graettinger. Witnesses said the young man's body remained at the point of impact but the motorcycle went down the road 26 feet and then kept going around in a circle.
LEONARD BARRETT, drive of the tractor, said he did not see the motorcycle, "I didn't know where he was," he said. "It sounded like an airplane." At the time of the crash the motorcycle was just opposite the space between the tractor and the load of hay.
The collision was witnessed by Gilbert Paskett, who was working in his garden just east of the accident scene and Mrs. Paskett, who came out of the house as the crash occurred. Both ran in the road to give assistance. The last sacraments of the Catholic church were administered to the accident victim by the Rev. James Duhigg, pasor of St. Patrick's church in Estherville. He was taken to the scene of the wreck by the Rev. James Cain, assistant pastor of Assumption church here, who was visiting in Estherville at the time.
Passengers in the Osher car were Mrs. Julie Nelson and Mrs. Kate Osher. Mrs. Virgil Shipley and Lucille Shipley were riding in the Shipley vehicle.
Funeral services for Mr. Schany were held at Immaculate Conception church in Graettinger at 3:30 Monday morning. Pallbearers were six relatives. Interment was in St. John's cemetery, Emmetsburg, with the Martin Funeral home of Graettinger in charge of the arrangements.
Mickey was born on the old Schany farm in Walnut township Aug. 3, 1924. He would have celebrated his 27th birthday next month. He attended the rural schools near his home.
When he was just a teenage he was seriously injured when he fell into a buzz saw which came within a fraction of an inch of hitting the brain. He remained near death for many days at the home of his grandparents, the late Mr. and Mrs. Paul Schany.
In recent years, he was employed at Holy Family hospital. His direct and friendly manner made him liked by staff members and patients alike. He made frequent trips to Graettinger to see his parents, brothers and sisters and often took members of the family on trips with him.
He was a good employee, doing his work quickly but thoroughly. He never minded being asked to do something extra even when he was off duty. Several months ago some of the Sisters at the hospital wanted to go to New Mexico and Mickey took them there in his car. A devout Catholic, he attended mass and received Holy Communion daily. His tragic death will be deeply regretted by all who knew him.
He leaves his parents and 12 brothers and sisters, Mrs. Al Johnson (Ruth), Spencer; Mrs. Maurice Nitchals (Mary), Des Moines; Richard, with the Marines in California; Bill and Bob of Graettinger; Tommy, Joan, Gene, Helen, Pauline, Danny and Irene at home. Also surviving are four nephews.

Jean Jackman Wins In Oral Spelling Meet
Miss Joey Matthiesen of Curlew School Places First in Written. Evelyn Anderson Second in Oral and Palmer Cody in Written.
WERE 57 SPELLERS
Winners to Take Part in Interstate Contest at Omaha and Also in the Daily Register State Contest to Be Held in Des Moines.
There were 57 participants in the county spelling contest held in the Court House in this city Saturday afternoon. Lists of the spellers were given in recent issues of the Democrat.
Miss Jean Jackman, aged 13, of District 4, Walnut township, took first honors in the oral contest and Miss Joey Matthiesen of Curlew, placed first in the written division. Miss Evelyn Anderson of Fairfield township, District 3, took second in the oral class and Palmer Cody of Fairfield, District 3, took second in the written. The spelling continued for four hours. All of the boys and girls participating did remarkably well and went down slowly and of course reluctantly. Miss Jackman won on the word "lyceum", which her last competitor missed. Miss Oliver, the county superintendent, does not recall the word on which Miss Joey Matthiesen won. There were a large number of spectators in the courtroom. Many of the townships were well represented.
The two firsts, Miss Jean Jackman and Miss Joey Matthiesen, will go to Interstate spelling contests. We understand that Miss Jean Jackman may also enter the Des Moines Register spelling contest.
Miss Jackman is the oldest daughter of Francis Jackman of Walnut township. Her grandfather, the late P. R. Jackman, came to our county about 1856. Jean's mother, it will be remembered, died late last fall. Hence she had a great many household duties to attend to in addition to preparing her studies. She attended St. Ellen's Academy before the death of her mother, after which she entered her home district school. Miss Genevieve Higgins of Great Oak township is her present teacher. Miss Joey Matthiesen is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. G. Matthiesen, who live close to Curlew. She attends the Curlew school. Cuts of Misses Jackman and Matthiesen appear in this issue of the Democrat.
The pronouncers in Saturday's contest were, Supt. Frederickson of Cylinder, Supt. Vanderstoep of Mallard, and Mrs. Bessie Baldwin of Ruthven. Misses Nellie Crowley of Emmetsburg and Cora Christopher of Graettinger were the referees and the Supt. Fritz of Curlew, Miss Mary Hastings of Ruthven and Miss Ruth Maguire of Curlew were the judges.

Dear John:
I thought I would let you know what I am doing. I am in the army air corps at Lowry Field, Colorado. I was at Sheppard Field Texas for two months. I am taking up arial gunnery. I operate a power gun turret on a B-17 Flying Fortress. I shoot two 50 calibre machine guns. I fly about four hours every day. We shoot at targets pulled behind another plane. It sure is a lot of fun flying about 350 miles an hour up about 25,000 feet. I will finish school in six weeks and then I will probably go across. There are eight men in a crew. The pilot, the co-pilot, the bombardier, the navigator, the radio man, the upper turret gunner, the lower turret gunner, the side gunner, and the tail gunner which is me. I get flying pay which is $105 per month.
I have been telling the boys about your plane, but they don't believe a plane can fly with a Model A motor. They don't think there is such a plane. I would like very much if you would send me a picture or two of your plane if you have one. I will write you again soon.
As ever

Jackman Forwards Photograph Showing Joseph Cahill's Grave
Sgt. Robert F. Jackman, son of Francis Jackman here, has written his father enclosing a picture he took overseas of Joseph (Jokey) Cahill's grave. The two boys had been schoolmates at Emmetsburg Catholic High, and Bob knew that Jokey's parents, the John Cahills, would want to see the last resting place of their boy, who was killed in action last year.
Bob writes: "The picture that I took of the grave came back today (Dec. 23) but as you can see by the enclosed slip of paper from the censors, they kept the other two. One can hardly recognize anything in the one picture they returned so I suppose that's why I got it back. The other two must have turned out all right, much to my surprise for when I took them it was after sundown and it was raining. But the other pictures can be had after the war." (The one sent shows several rows of white crosses.)
The Emmetsburg soldier, fighting in the European area, mentioned that he had received three packages from his wife, the former Joy James and from other members of the family. "There was food in all of them so I am now on top of the world from that point of view," he wrote. Bob also said he was getting the Emmetsburg papers "so I've got some interesting reading material. You would be surprised how many people I had forgotten existed until after I read the papers awhile."

Numerous readers of our papers have asked us about the Mary Jackman of Emmetsburg mentioned in a feature story in the Des Moines Register a couple of weeks ago. Mary was described as a companion of Mary Ellen Kelly, pretty young Marcus, Ia. girl who was among a group of invalids traveling to the famed Lourdes shrine in Canada, in the hope of receiving spedial spiritual and physical benefits. Mary Jackman is a daughter of Francis Jackman of Emmetsburg and has been a friend of the Marcus girl for several years. Miss Jackman is an x-ray technician in a large Denver, Colo. hospital. She has often arranged her vacation so that she may spend it with her friend. So this year she went to Canada on the special train with Mary Ellen, a proof of their true friendship.

Denver Girl Dies of Brain Disease
Mary Brigid Burns, 15, third place winner in the 1966 Rocky Mountain News Colorado-Wyoming Spelling Bee, died Wednesday after spending three months in a coma due to a rare brain disease.
A good student and avid football fan, Mary suffered a convulsion in July 1967. Brain surgery failed to disclose a tumor and doctors believe she may have suffered from Schilder's disease, a rare disease of the nervous system.
A daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert T. Burns of 1565 Newport St., Mary attended St. James Catholic School and Marycrest High School.
She was placed in the Ridge Home and Training School after the disease began to paralyze her. She went into a coma shortly after Christmas.
Her mother said Mary never let the disease depress her. "She was an exceptional girl and was smiling almost to the end."
When Mary was in the hospital, her father said he received a notice from a savings and loan association where Mary had $6 of her baby sitting money in an account. "The notice said Mary had pledged $2 of her money to help build the Bronco football stadium. She loved football, and we were able to take her to two Bronco games before she became too sick."
Born in Denver on April 16, 1952, she was a member of the Catholic Church.
Requiem high mass will be sung at 9 a.m. Friday in St. James Catholic Church. Burial will be in Mt. Olivet.
Surviving, in addition to her parents, are three brothers, William, Daniel and Joseph Burns, and six sisters, Mary Catherine, Mary Margaret, Mary Patricia, Mary Ann, Mary Kelly, and Mary Ellen Burns, all of Denver.

Jackman Family Reunion
Emmetsburg citizens may have noticed 125 visitors who attended a reunion of the descendants of Francis Jackman (1886-1986) and Eva Murphy (1893-1930) this past week-end. Francis Jackman was one of the 14 children of Patrick Jackman (1836-1927), one of the original Irish Colony pioneers. His wife was Margaret Brennan (1849-1909). Francis Jackman and Eva Murphy had 6 children: Jean Jackman Peters, Robert Jackman, Mary Jackman Burns, Peggy Jackman Frailey, John Jackman and Dick Jackman. The surviving sons, John and Dick, and daughter Peggy, along with 120 grand and great-grandchildren of Francis and Eva came to the reunion.
The principal events of the Jackman reunion were a picnic at Harrison Park last Friday, and a sit-down dinner at the VFW Hall Saturday.
The Jackmans have many ties to the Emmetsburg Community. Local relatives are Brennans, Donahues, Murphys, Schanys, Walshes, etc. some of whom were guests at the picnic.
The Jackman descendants came from as far East as Boston, MA and as far west as San Francisco, CA. The highlight was a moving speech by Dick Jackman, recalling his family life in the Emmetsburg Community and a loving tribute to his five brothers and sisters. Emmetsburg mayor, Myrna Heddinger (a Brennan cousin) addressed the group at the VFW Hall Saturday.

Palo Alto Ponderings by Myram Tunnicliff
With the Jackman clan in town for their big reunion the genealogical library was getting a tremendous amount of usage. Kathleen Puls of Columbia, MD, who is the granddaughter of Francis Jackman said she could have just lived in the library. She couldn't believe all the good material she was finding and she hated to leave on their last day here. I heard her husband promise her he'd bring her back again in two years.
I thought it was really neat that Marilyn Mugan Holmes (daughter of George Mugan), Kathy Joynt Labath (daughter of Mike Joynt) and Kathleen Puls had a date to meet at the library. They've been friends over the internet, but had never met before, so it was an exciting time for them. Kathy Labath has a fantastic web site covering Palo Alto County and Kathleen has helped her with it. Kathleen has published a beautiful Jackman Family History, too.
Marilyn told me she figured there were 200 or more at the Friday night get-together in the park which included Jackmans and their collateral families. Then on Saturday night the "cousins" had their meal together at the VFW. Kathleen reported that there wasn't a dry eye in the place during the talk by Dick Jackman. I think Dick is from Philadelphia and John was here from Louisiana, so the Jackmans came from far and wide to attend.

Car Hit Local Pedestrians
Injured Mr. and Mrs. Frank Brady, Son Hugh and Richard Jackman
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Brady and son Hugh, and Richard Jackman, son of Francis Jackman of this city, were quite badly injured near the Emmetsburg Candy Kitchen corner at about 10:30 o'clock Friday night when they were struck by a car driven by Lewis Yoster. Mr. and Mrs. Brady were taken to the Emmetsburg hospital where both were found to be suffering from broken ribs. Mr. Brady was also quite badly bruised about the head and was in an unconscious condition. However, he is now recovering. Mrs. Brady was later brought to her home where she is recuperating rapidly. Both of her knees were quite badly brusied. Hugh Brady was also injured to some extent, as was also Richard Jackman. However, both are up and around.
The driver of the car was later arrested on a charge of intoxication but has since been released on a bail and appearance bond.
One of the biggest crowds seen locally had gathered in Emmetsburg Friday night due, no doubt, to the fact that the stores were closed both Saturday and Sunday.

Catholics Open Six-Man Season
Emmetsburg Catholic High School, defending champions of the Northwest Iowa Six-Man Football conference, will open the 1943 season this (Thursday) evening in a game against Havelock high school at Havelock. The locals may be minus the valuable services of "Red" O'Brien, outstanding conference fullback, who has been out of the lineup the last week because of a badly twisted knee. The injury is responding satisfactorily to treatments, however, and it is hoped that O'Brien will see action in at least part of the Havelock game.
There are 33 men on the E. C. H. squad, including: Jim Brown, Jack Carney, Jerry Kane, Hugh Neary, Frank Bisenius, Basil Carpenter, JOHN JACKMAN, Tom Millea, Pat Neary, Bill O'Brien, "Red" O'Brien.
Jack Phillips, Paul Thompson, Tom Wiese, Pat Aylward, Bob Berger, Everett Carpenter, Jim Kelly, Roger Millea, Bob Neary, Bob O'Dell, Bob Shimon.
Hugh Brady, Jim Burns, John Fickbaum, Bill Hamilton, Dean Howard, DICK JACKMAN, Jerry Neary, Dean O'Brien, Jim Ryan, "Chuck" Schumacher, Tom Weir.
The team is coached by Father John Schissel, school athletic director.
The 1943 schedule includes games with Graettinger, Fonda and Harris high schools, and other to be announced later.

THE WARM UP
By Dick Jackman
The Emmetsburg baseball team will close out their 1948 season a week from Sunday when they meet a week from Sunday when they meet Rodman here. The local nine lost their championship chances in the Palo Alto League when they succumbed to Ayrshire 8-1 earlier this week. With Red Compton working the first six innings and young Wilbur Merrill hurling final three the Silver Lake lads were never in trouble.
However, the coming game here still brews up as an excellent contest. Emmetsburg is still hunting for a win over Rodman this season, having dropped a pair of close tilts to Rich Barber and Company. A large turnout is expected for Sunday's clash for it will be the bowing out process for a number of the locals. Most of the baseballers will still be around playing softball for the rest of the season and all will make the trip to Chicago in late August or early September to see a major league game.
Players on the roster include Tommy Kelly, manager; Lisle Mullins, Bernie Carpenter and Dave Wiese, all pitchers; Cliff Shriner and Vince Carpenter, catchers; and Gordon Thomas, Dick Donovan, Paul Thompson, Bud Broadwell and Bob Webber, infielders. In the outfield corps are Bob Shimon, Hugh Neary, Merle Thompson and Charley Lawrence.
SOFTBALL NOTES - Merle Thompson, Jackson's secondbaseman has certainly been getting his share of base hits since he switched to the portside of the plate - The softball teams are now headed into the final round of their league schedule - The last few weeks should produce some excellent games as the pressure gets tougher and tougher on the teams fighting for first division spots.
Next Sunday afternoon the State Champion Rural Youth team from Palo Alto county will face the Pocahontas nine in an exhibition game at Soper Park - Eddie Kenyon, Rural Youth president, announces that plans at present call for the local team to journey southward soon for a night return game with Pocahontas - Pat and Bob Nolan played with the K. C.'s last Sunday when the Knights went to Armstrong and dropped a 2-1 thriller - Commissioner Tom Nolan bought those new base bags in Sioux City at about half price which shows that the conservation plan is in full swing.
Estherville High school rates as the big pre-season favorite to take the Lakes Conference football crown. Loaded with backfield talent, which includes plunger Wayne Wogen and triple threat ace Gordon Barg, the Midgets rate as the top contender for Cherokee's title. However, the Braves are definitely out to cop their third straight Conference grid championship. They lost the best part of their line except for Lyle Minkler and Ron Thompson and also, of course, will be without all-staters Bill McDonald, Dean Duel and Don Green.
Bud Perrin, Lyle Crane and Ted Graves will give Cherokee a good if not sensational backfield and it is with these boys that the Tomahawk's home go for a repeat job on the last two year's performances. Spencer with their very capable Rich Mann is still a year or two short of championship contention but they can be counted on to cause the leaders plenty of trouble. Sheldon, Emmetsburg and Storm Lake and Sibley ready for a building year.
SCOUTING AROUND - Congrats to Harold's on their fine showing in the district tourney - Their all-star crew meets Fairmont here Friday - The local Red Sox, a junior high nine composed mostly of E. C. H. lads, has been piling up an enviable record this summer - That's thirty for now.

From Palo Alto Ponderings by Myram Tunnicliff:
With teacher appreciation week over, I'm a little tardy in sharing a favorite teacher story, but think it's worthwhile. Alice Weir Perdue of Emmetsburg taught school at three different schools in Walnut Township and made a difference wherever she went. But, I hope former resident Dick Jackman won't mind if I quote from a couple of his letters to Alice telling how she had influenced him. In one he wrote, "Without your influence this writing wouldn't be legible because at Walnut #4 you insisted that we work on our penmanship. Without your professionalism in teaching the value of arithmetic with all of the messages about persistence, my life would not have been as well lived, and without your persuasion, I would not have developed my love for geography. You are a one-of-a kind treasure."
And earlier he wrote, "This is an overdue "thank you" note only about 60 years tardy, but by now you're probably used to human homework coming in late. Some people are so special they make me wish they would live forever and that's the Hall of Fame I've put you in because the influence and inspiration you brought to me at Walnut #4 has never left me." He told of his accomplishments in school and career and how it was she that influenced him. When he wrote to his children of the 100 most interesting people in his life, he wrote about his 4th grade teacher, Alice Perdue. Around her on the list were U. S. Presidents, sports heroes, movie stars and business leaders. He said, "They are lucky to be in such great company as Alice." He signed it, "Young at heart, slightly older in other places. Dick Jackman."
Alice has a large plate given to her by Dick Jackman imprinted with a picture of students and her at Walnut #4. Among the students are Jackmans, Schanys and Phelans. We were interested in seeing the Phelan girls as they were visitors on our Alaskan farm when their careers were there

The Jewish News Weekly of Northern California, Friday, June 22, 2007
Crash claims Kol Shofar president-elect Mike Jackman, 55
by joe eskenazi
staff writer
Mike Jackman spoke softly and carried a big intellect.
He was born 55 years ago in Ames, Iowa, into a large family, and his Midwestern upbringing defined him for the rest of his life. He was a straightforward man devoid of glitziness. Perhaps the best adjective to describe him was “steady” — three different friends independently remembered him that way.
“He was not a California, bouncing-around person. He was Midwestern, steady,” remembered longtime friend and business partner John Reed.
Added Ron Brown, a fellow board member at Tiburon’s Congregation Kol Shofar, “He was a soft-spoken guy who impressed all of us on the board because when he said something, it was because he had something to say.”
Jackman, who was born Catholic and converted to Judaism, found fulfillment at Kol Shofar and was slated to become its next president. Jackman died when his truck tumbled off a Mount Tamalpais road and into a deep ravine in the late afternoon on Monday, June 13.
His sudden death jolted the synagogue community. Jackman was the sort of calm, rational person others turn to in a time of crisis just like this one. That he would be randomly struck down in an instant just doesn’t seem to fit.
“He was just the hugest mensch. He was a strong, solid man who was very responsible. He was a giving person and you could count on him,” said Rabbi Chai Levy, who instructed Jackman in his conversion class.
Jackman was a public relations professional who enjoyed working out of his Mill Valley home so he could take a more active hand raising his sons, 13-year-old Caleb and 11-year-old Gabriel. Reed described him as a PR “genius” and said that hundreds of PR professionals around the nation owed their livelihoods to Jackman’s mentoring.
His generosity with his time carried into charitable endeavors, youth-sports coaching and, of course, Kol Shofar. Along with his wife, Joan Levison, he began attending in the late 1990s. Something just clicked for him.
“Kol Shofar provided a community for him. The interactions between erudite, thoughtful men let Mike blossom intellectually,” she said.
“Certainly our boys watched Mike go through this process. His increasing knowledge and observation and true love of Judaism was just remarkable.”
Jackman became more serious about Judaism in 2002 when his wife was selected to be a Wexner Heritage Fellow. The family retreats and 10-day trip to Israel changed his life.
“He was struck by the dialogue and debate and rigorous thought process that went into Judaism. And he fell in love with Israel. He talked about retiring there,” recalled Levison.
Jackman vowed to convert to Judaism before his eldest son became bar mitzvahed, and he followed through on that promise. On long commutes to business meetings, he and Reed would talk about religion. Jackman “was never a proselytizer,” Reed said, but his enthusiasm and knowledge about Judaism was evident.
“He loved the ceremonies, he loved the learning. He knew more about Jewish history than most Jews. He immersed himself in it fully,” Reed recalled.
He also threw himself into daily life at Kol Shofar. His passion for learning led him to take over the adult education committee. He later served as board secretary and was elected president this month, to start July 1.
“He was thrilled. He was so looking forward to it,” recalled his wife.
Levy noted that Jackman had scheduled meetings with the Conservative synagogue’s board members, staff and clergy to gauge their visions for Kol Shofar’s future and see how he could make it a reality. Her meeting with him was scheduled for the day after his death.
“He went out of his way to do anything for anyone,” recalled Levison. “And he really found within the Jewish community a context to do that giving.”
Michael Richard Jackman is survived by his wife and sons of Mill Valley; parents Ethel Jackman of Malvern, Pa. and Dick Jackman of Hershey, Pa.; brother John Jackman of Ames, Iowa; and sisters Jean Jackman of Gig Harbor, Wash., Susan Jackman Zitali of Warwick, R.I., Anne Jackman of Jamaica Plain, Mass., and Mary Jackman Carpenter of Chestnut Hill, Pa.
Services were held at Kol Shofar on Thursday, June 21. Donations in his memory can be sent to the Kol Shofar building fund, 215 Blackfield Drive, Tiburon, CA 94920.
