Obituary of Bishop Coadjutor of Alabama, Rev. H. M. Jackson

“Death of Bishop H. M. Jackson”
Formerly Coadjutor Bishop of Episcopal Diocese of Alabama
Eufaula, Ala., May 4 – (Special.) – Bishop H. M. Jackson died at Roseland, his 
home, four miles north of this city, this morning at 1:00 o’clock.  His 
condition was not regarded as alarming until yesterday, although it was known 
that he had been suffering from some chronic disorder for several years.  He 
was regarded as one of the most brilliant pulpit orators in the south, and 
until recent troubles were brought to bear against him, held the high office 
of coadjutant bishop of the Episcopal church in this state.  His remains will 
be interred here, but the funeral hour has not yet been arranged.
	Dr. Jackson was a native of Norfolk, Va., and about fifty years old.  
He was educated at the seminary at Alexandria.  He filled pastorates in 
Christiansburg, Va., and Greenville, S.C., and in 1873 went to Grace church, 
Richmond.  His fifteen years pastorate there was very successful.  He became 
very popular and had very large congregations.  He gave up this pastorate to 
accept the Alabama bishopric.  This he recently resigned.  Dr. Jackson was 
thrice married.  His first wife was Miss Rebecca Lloyd, of Alexandria, Va.; 
his second, Miss Violet Pace, of Richmond, and the third, who survives him, 
Miss Carrie Cochran, a niece of the wife of Governor Oates, of Alabama.  He 
leaves two brothers and a sister.
