Ionia Daily Sentinel-Standard, 13 Nov 1944

Services will be held from the First Presbyterian church of Muir in which he was
an active worker for Thomas Emmor Jackson, 85-year-old resident of Muir, who
died Saturday afternoon at 3:30 o’clock in the home of his niece, Mrs. John
Chase, and Mr. Chase, who have cared for him for a number of months.

The last surviving son of Benjamin F. and Margaret Hoopes Jackson, he was born
September 6, 1859, in Unionville, Pa.  His boyhood was spent at Downingtown,
Pa., where he learned the printer’s trade.  In August, 1892, he went to Clyde,
O., where he continued that work, later becoming a partner with a younger
brother, B.F. Jackson, in the publication of the Clyde Enterprise.  Previously
however, he studied medicine with a preceptor at Clyde and had taken a partial
course in medicine at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor.

August 28, 1884, he was married to Miss Juanita Fletcher, of Clyde, O.  They
came to Michigan in October 1885, and November 13 of that year, the first issue
of the Muir Tribune was published and continued until after Mrs. Jackson’s death
in 1898.  In 1900 he was married to Mrs. Myrtle Corey Wagar, who died November
23, 1942.

Later Mr. Jackson served as a rural mail carrier until 1920.  Mr. and Mrs.
Jackson had spent winters in Florida since 1912 until the present war and poor
health disrupted their plans.

He was a member of the Muir Presbyterian church and a member of the Lyons Lodge
No. 37, F.& A.M., and served as worshipful master for seven years.  He was also
past high priest of the Lyons chapter, Royal Arch Masons.

In later years Mr. Jackson corresponded for the Ionia Daily Sentinel-Standard
and his feature column was “The Rambler.”

His survivors are nieces and nephews, Mrs. John Chase of Muir, Mary Rowena
Jackson of Clyde, O.; Franklin N. Jackson and Nelson Goodman of Bushnell, Ill.,
Charles Ellis Jackson of Orlando, Fla., Ben F. Barton, of Boston, Mass., Howard
and John Jackson of Clyde, O., and Walter Goodman, of Yokon, Okla.

Dr. Paul L. Stewart of Ionia will officiate at the service Tuesday afternoon and
graveside services in the Muir cemetery will be in charge of the Lyons Masons.
