The Lake Odessa Wave, Thursday, November 18, 1926


Lester Jackson, a young man 18 years of age, of near Clarksville, was helping 
threshing beans at the home of his grandfather, Samuel Jackson, when he and 
another young man decided to change places.  In passing over a board on the 
top of the machine the board broke and the young man plunged into the teeth of 
the machine.  

His legs were torn and one hand, while one of the teeth pierced his side and 
was the cause of his death.  He was rushed to Blodgett hospital by G. A. Weed, 
of this village, where one leg was amputated and a portion of one hand.  

On Sunday afternoon he died with his mother at his bedside.  All means were 
used to locate his father who had gone to the northern woods hunting but 
without success.  The funeral was postponed until Thursday morning on this 
account.  It was held at the home near Clarksville and the body will be placed 
in the vault at Clarksville to await the father’s return.  

The family are cousins of the Jacksons of Lake Odessa vicinity.  An uncle, 
Bert Jackson, gave blood for a transfusion, but this apparently did little 
good.
