STRUCK BY BICYCLE HENRY JACKSON DIED
Knocked to the Sidewalk in Owosso. Concussion of the Brain Results. Son of Mrs 
David Jackson of Lake Odessa. 

Henry Jackson, a former resident of Odessa township, died in Memorial hospital, 
Owosso, last Thursday as the result of being run into by three boys on bicycles 
in that city Tuesday as he was going home from his work at the Esty Manuf. 
plant.

It is said Mr.Jackson has never been ill in his life. He is 66 years of age. His 
father, David Jackson, died a few years ago at the age of 104, and his mother 
who is still living is nearly 100 years of age.

Mr.Jackson owned a farm at onetime in Odessa. He then moved to Mecosta county 
and bought a farm which he still owned. They had spent some time in Ionia where 
he worked for the now Gov. Green. Having a son in Owosso he commenced working  
there over a year ago.

Besides his family mentioned below he leaves a brother Comfort Jackson and a 
sister Miss Jane Jackson of Lake Odessa, and a brother William Jackson of 
Muskegon, besides many other relatives in and near Lake Odessa.

The widow and unmarried daughter will reside at Ionia.

Nothing so far has been done with the boys. Further investigation will decide 
that question.
