In a letter dated May 20, 1897 addressed to his sister (Martha Jane Jackson-Crager) Henry Issac Jackson, the son of Joseph explains that he and his step-mother (Mary Crager-Jackson) were in New Orleans at the time of Josephs death and since they could not afford to have his body returned to Vernon Parish by train, he was buried in the church tomb in the military cemetery in New Orleans.
