Jackson, was born in White county, Georgia, four miles east of Cleveland, in 1871, remaining there on the farm until 1901, when he moved to Clarksville, Habersham county, to enter the mercantile business. He was in this business for seven years and, in spite of the misfortune of fire, succeeded. In 1909, he joined the North Georgia Conference and was sent to the South Lumpkin Mission in Lumpkin county, Georgia, serving that mission one year with great success. Then in 1910, he loccated at Murrayville, Hall county, and was transferred to the Dacula circuit, consisting of six churches with 878 members. The Dacula circuit up to the present, since he has taken charge, has broken all previous records both spiritually and financially.
