August 12, 1948

Mrs. Georganna Jackson, wife of the late William Alfred Jackson, died at her 
home on the Wawaset Road, yesterday at 11:30 o’clock after a long illness, in 
her 91st year.

Mrs. Jackson, born in Warren County, Virginia, April 12th, 1858, was the 
daughter of the late Geo. and Elizabeth Ann Robinson.  Her early childhood 
years were filled with the experiences of the Civil War, her father being with 
the Confederate Army, with the staff of General Robert E. Lee.  Mr. Robinson, 
later a Justice of the Peace in Warren County, counted among his many friends 
Colonel Wm. F. Cody (Buffalo Bill)

Mr. and Mrs. Jackson came to West Chester shortly after their marriage, making 
this their home since 1882.

Five children, Bertha (Mrs. Clarence J. Printz), George William, Thomas A., 
Robert Dempsey and Marcus H., preceded her Mrs. Jackson in death.  The only 
surviving child is Hazel R., wife of Wm. J. Stalker, Wawaset Road, with whom 
she made her home since the death of her husband, in 1925.  She is also 
survived by more than thirty grand children, a number of great, grand children 
and several great-great grand children.

Mrs. Jackson, in earlier years a communicant of The Church of the Holy 
Trinity, in her shut-in years was given great spiritual inspiration through 
the visitations of friends in Jehovah’s Witnesses.  A woman of strong 
character, she was respected and admired by all who knew her and will be 
missed by many.  She was a member for more 45 years of West Chester Council 
No. 45, Sons and Daughters of Liberty.

Jackson –On Wednesday, Aug. 11, 1948, 	Georganna R., widow of William A.
