Death's Sad Claims
Homes Made Sad By Its Invasion
Capt. G.W. Jackson

Capt. G.W. Jackson is dead!
This is the sad news that spread over the vicinity of Hollonville and
Pike county last Sunday morning. For several years Capt. Jackson has
been troubled with heart complaint, and about 2 o'clock in the morning,
he was taken with a severe attack from which he fell in his wife's arms
and died within five minutes.

Capt. Jackson was 67 years of age and has lived in this county all his
life. He was an influential and useful citizen, loved, praised and
respected by all who knew him, and his friends were not few. He was an
honorary member of the lodge of F. & A.M. and was buried with Masonic
honors in the cemetery at Hollonville on Monday at 11 o'clock, the
funeral ceremonies being conducted by Rev. E.M. Hooton of Jackson.

Capt. Jackson has raised a family of seven children, six daughters and
one son, all of whom are now married. A man is gone whose place would be
hard to fill.
