from Monroe Advertiser dated September 30, 1910.  

A SHORT SKETCH OF FRANK C. JACKSON, A GOOD CITIZEN OF
MONROE COUNTY.  It is with the deepest sorrow  we tell
of the going away of Mr. Frank C. Jackson on last
Friday afternoon.  His extreme illness from typhoid
fever baffled the skill of his physicians, and the
trained nurse.  All that love could suggest and human
skill could do was done to relieve him, but it was all
of no avail, and just at the close of day his spirit
went to God who gave it, and his devoted wife and two
little children, his loving father and mother, brothers
and sisters and many near relatives and friends are
bowed in grief over the sad loss.  He was born in
Monroe county thirty-six years ago.  And lived here
until his death.  No call for aid or charity ever came
to him unheeded, but as God had prospered him he gave
cheerfully.  In all walks of life the influence of his
pure Christian life was felt, and his going away is a
distinct loss to the community in business and social
circles.  On the home hovers the deepest cloud for he
was an ideal husband and father, and dutiful and
affectionate son to the father and mother, and a loving
brother.  The going seems to mortal eyes untimely, but
the view of the Father embraces eternity.  He knows
best.  All who knew him honored and trusted him.  

How much happier and holier the world is by such a man
having lived it awhile.  How happy was he in his
family.  The devotion and joy among them seemed
perfect.  But judged after the manner of God, Frank
Jackson was a great success.  He believed God.  Faith
and love and obedience appeared in orderly sequence and
grew in intensity and perfection as the months came.
He knew God as Father and a Savior near at hand.  The
loved ones so sorely bereaved are his wife, who was
Miss Ethel Grant.  His father and mother, Mr. and Mrs.
T. B. Jackson, of Monroe county, four brothers, Messrs.
Owen, Lamar, Jim, and Leon Jackson, of Monroe county,
two sisters Mrs. J. M. Smith, of Monroe county and Mrs.
E. M. Williams, of Juliette.
