       CHARLES EMERY JACKSON, proprietor of Hotel Jackson, at Mildred,
  Pennsylvania, was born in Ithaca, New York, May 20, 1865, and is a son of
  Cornelius W. and Elanora (Stevens) Jackson, both natives of New York state. His
  father was a dealer in, and breeder and trainer of horses. Our subject, the only
  child, was principally educated in the public schools of his birth-place, and
  for a time he attended a business college. At the early age of twelve years he
  began tallying lumber for McGraw & Company, of Tonawanda, New York, and a year
  later entered the employ of F. N. Dounce, a coal dealer of Elmira, New York, as
  bookkeeper, remaining with him four years. He then assumed the management of a
  branch coal office at Elmira for W. H. Blight, and in October, 1884, came to
  Bernice as confidential clerk, bookkeeper and assistant postmaster for Mr.
  Blight, with whom he remained for ten years. In 1894 he erected the Hotel
  Jackson, a small but modern hostelry at Mildred, Pennsylvania, since which time
  he has given his personal attention to the hotel and proved himself a genial and
  obliging host. His place has become a great favorite with the traveling public,
  particularly with hunters and fishermen, and is well patronized.
  
      On the 10th of April, 1886, Mr. Jackson led tothe marriage altar Miss
  Emeline E. Utz, daughter of John Utz, of Dushore, whose sketch appears elsewhere
  in this volume. Three children have been born to this union. Charles U., Robert
  E. and Richard W.
  
      Socially Mr. Jackson is prominent, and is to-day an honored member of
  Bernice Lodge, No. 962, I. O. O. F.; Katonka Tribe, No. 336, I. O. R. M.; and
  Washington Camp, No. 481, P. O. S. of A. He is a recognized leader in the ranks
  of the Democracy in his community, and takes an active and influential part in
  local positions, was congressional conferee in 1893, a delegate to two county
  conventions and secretary of both, and was a Democratic candidate for congress
  in 1898. He has served one term as auditor of Cherry township, Sullivan county,
  and was justice of the peace in the same township for a term of five years. In
  all the relations of life he has been found true and faithful to every trust
  reposed in him, and his official duties have been most satisfactorily discharged.
