JESSE ANDREWS JACKSON

JESSE A. JACKSON, 3RD, DIES IN WEST VIRGINIA

   Jesse Andrews Jackson, 3rd, native of Franklin, died at his home in 
Grantsville, W. Va., Tuesday afternoon, September 17, after an illness of 
nearly one year’s duration.  Mr. Jackson was born here May 8, 1891, the son 
of Mrs. Flora Bryant Jackson and the late Jesse A. Jackson.  He graduated 
from the law school of Washington and Lee University in 1912, and practiced 
law in Clarksburg, W. Va., for a while.  For more than 25 years he was 
employed as an abstractor by the Hope Natural Gas Company of Pittsburgh, 
Penn., and had served acceptably as Mayor of his city, Grantsville.  He was 
a useful member of the Grantsville M.E. Church and teacher of its men’s 
Bible class.

   He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Mildred Marshall Jackson, and four 
children, Robert M. Jackson of the U.S.S. Texas, and Gwendolyn, Virginia 
and Jesse Andrews Jackson, 4th, of Grantsville, W.Va.; by his mother, Mrs. 
Flora Bryant Jackson of this town; a sister, Mrs. B.M. Trotter, and a 
brother, Edgar Jackson, both of Norfolk, and by four nephews of Norfolk.

   Mr. Jackson was a man of unusual ability and many fine traits of character, 
and is affectionately remembered by a host of friends in this town where he 
had been a frequent visitor.

   Following a brief service at the home in Grantsville Thursday morning at 10 
o’clock, the body was brought to Franklin for burial in the family plot in 
Poplar Spring Cemetery.  Funeral services were conducted from the Jackson home 
this (Friday) afternoon at 2:30 o’clock by Rev. S. Paris Bell, Jr., pastor of 
the Grantsville Methodist Church, assisted by Rev. B.B. Bland, pastor of High
