      GEORGE C. JACKSON. - The name of Jackson has been so long and prominently
  connected with the history of Sullivan county, that a representative of this
  leading and influential family needs no introduction to the people of this
  locality. George Corydon Jackson, a son of George D. Jackson, fully sustained
  the high reputation of the family in connection with the industrial interests of
  this section of the state. He was born in Dushore, in March, 1854, and on
  account of delicate health in his boyhood he was educated in private schools,
  pursuing his studies in such institutions in Scranton and Towanda, Pennsylvania.
  After entering upon his business career he was for many years proprietor of
  extensive coal yards, enjoyed an extensive trade in that mineral, and at the
  time of his death was engaged in developing the coal mines on the Jackson lands,
  near Bernice. This was his principal business, yet he was interested to some
  extent in lumbering, mining and manufacturing. He carried forward to successful
  completion whatever he undertook, being a man of excellent business and
  executive ability, of sound judgment, keen discrimination, systematic habits and
  indefatigable energy.
  
      He was united in marriage to Miss Mary M. Green, of Philadelphia, and they
  resided at the family homestead in Dushore. When in the prime of life, and in
  the midst of an honorable, useful and prosperous business career, George C.
  Jackson was called to his final rest, passing away on Christmas day of 1898,
  when only forty-five years of age.
