JACKSON, ALBERT E.:

   Per IONIA DAILY SENTINEL-STANDARD, (MI) Thurs., Sept. 9, 1920, front page: 
"DEATH TAKES A. E. JACKSON OLD RESIDENT - TAKEN SICK LAST SATURDAY, GREW
GRADUALLY WORSE; WAS AROUND LAST WEEK.  Albert E. Jackson, one of the best known
and highly respected residents of Ionia township, died at his home on the farm
north of Prairie Creek this morning at 12:15, at the age of 76 years.  He was
born in Madison county, N.Y., in June, 1844, and came to Michigan, coming direct
to the farm where he died, in 1861.  
   Mr. Jackson leaves to mourn his loss four sons, Ray, Chester, Harvey and Lee,
who are all citizens of Ionia---excepting Harvey who lives near Prairie Creek. 
Their mother died in 1898.  He was taken suddenly ill last Saturday with bowel
trouble and grew worse until the end.  The four sons were all with him when he
died.  An aunt, Helen Jackson, who is nearly the age of Mr. Jackson, has resided
on the same farm ever since the children were born, took care of Mr. Jackson
until the last most faithfully.
   Deceased was always prominent in politics in the county with the democratic
party.  He had been a voter for 57 years and had voted in the same precinct all
his life, a most unusual record.  He was a member of the board of supervisors
about eight years, had served on the school board at Prairie Creek, and was one
of the workers in obtaining the new school there.
   The funeral will be in charge of the Masonic lodge, of which he was a member,
to be held from the residence of his son, Harvey, at Prairie Creek, Sunday
afternoon at 3 o'clock.  Rev. E. E. Branch will officiate, interment in Highland
Park cemetery.  The body will lie at the Bradley mortuary until Saturday
afternoon, and will then be taken to the home at Prairie Creek."

   Per THE IONIA DAILY SENTINEL-STANDARD, (MI) Mon., Sept. 13, 1920, page 3: 
"The funeral for Albert E. Jackson was held at the home of his son, Harvey, at
Prairie Creek, Sunday afternoon at 3:30, was largely attended and the floral
offerings many and beautiful.  Rev. E. E. Branch officiated.  The music was
furnished by Mrs. R. A.  Colwell and Mrs. John Hodgkins.  The bearers were from
the Masonic lodge, of which Mr. Jackson was a member, and were H. A. Rich,
Chandler Haight, Ralph Cheney, John Toutenhout, Harold Hiler and W. F. MacElory.
 The Masonic lodge had charge at the grave and interment took place in the
family lot at Highland Park cemetery."
