The Newnan Herald & Advertiser
Obituary from "The Newnan Herald & Advertiser" in Coweta County, Georgia
Newspaper Issue of August 14, 1908

About three weeks ago, John J. Jackson, an old citizen of Heard County, died 
suddenly on his farm near Centralhatchee.  He was known to be miserly in his 
habits and exhibited other eccentricities that frequently puzzled his 
neighbors, but was generally thought to be poorly provided with "this world's 
goods".  The astonishment of his relatives, therefore, may be we imagined 
when, upon examining his effects, they found concealed in various nooks and 
crannies about the premises the sum of $5,600. in greenbacks and gold.  Some 
of the greenbacks were of the first series issued by the government in 1862 
and there were also a number of gold coins of different denominations, among 
the latter being forty-eight $1. gold pieces.  The dead man was the father-in-
law of Mr. T.A. Hutchens, of Welcome, whose children will share in the 
distribution of the estate.
