James Madison Jackson, Aged Confederate, Answers Final Summons

   Mr. James Madison Jackson, aged about 95 years, died at the county home 
where he had been an inmate for several months, Tuesday morning at 4 o'clock.  
Deceased was one of the oldest Confederate veterans in the county and served 
all through the Civil War. It is said that he was wounded during the war and 
his captain tried to get him to go home, but he refused, declaring that he 
would fight for his country till he died. Those who knew something of his army 
life say he was one of the bravest Southern soldiers who entered the 
conflict. "Uncle" James was well-known throughout Robeson, having lived in 
many sections of the county. He was born at Goldsboro, but came to Robeson 
county immediately after the close of the war. He did not have any relatives 
in this section of the country.
