   JOSEPH ZEALY JACKSON. Two of the sons of Capt. G. A. Jackson took up the
profession of law and are now among the leading attorneys of Berrien county, the
firm being J. Z. and H. L. Jackson at Adel.

   The senior partner, Joseph Zealy Jackson, was born on the 27th of September,
1877, during the residence of his parents on a farm in Burke county. From his
father and mother, who were both educated and cultured people, he received his
first lessons and studied under their direction until he was about twelve years
old, when he first attended the neighborhood school. He was also a student in
the high school at Arabi in Dooly county, and later in a special school taught
by Mrs. M. E. Fields at Sycamore, this state.

   As the beginning of his practical career he learned the printing trade, and
for about three years was employed in the offices of different newspapers. From
that he turned his attention to law and entered Mercer University, where he was
graduated in the law department in the class of 1900. For twelve years he has
been actively engaged in his profession at Adel, and has gained recognition as
an able lawyer, well versed in both the law and its practice. He has served five
years as city attorney for Adel. In 1901 he prepared the code of ordinances for
the town and revised it in 1912. In politics he is a democrat.

   Mr. Jackson has fraternal affiliations with Adel Lodge No. 310, F. &. A. M.,
Daisy Chapter No. 82, R. A. M., Malta Commandery No. 16, K. T., and is also a
member of Adel Lodge No. 178 of the Knights of Pythias. He and his wife are
members of the Methodist church. As mentioned in the sketch of his father, Mr.
Jackson was married to Miss Evelyn Cunningham, and their children are Charles E.
and Evelyn.
