about fifteen years ago.  There were eight children born and reared by them.

She made her home in Winn Parish until the early 1900s when she moved to Grant
Parish, where she lived the rest of her life.

Mrs. Jackson is survived by six sons, Andrew, Matt, Early, Clarence, Bob, and
Jim, all of Hargis, La.  Mrs. Jackson took turns in living in the homes of her
sons, and was cared for by the sons and their wives.  Surviving, also, are
many grandchildren and great grandchildren.  A half-dozen grandsons served in
World War II.

Mrs. Jackson was the sister of J. W. Teddlie, of Winnfield, and the aunt of
Mrs. Ethleen Riser, late publisher of the Enterprise.
