Surname:  JACKSON

UNION CORRESPONDENT; Palmyra, Wi., November, 1894

This community was greatly shocked Saturday morning by the tragic
ending of the life of John S. Jackson, an old and highly esteemed
resident of this place.

In attempting to drive across the railroad track he was struck by the
Engine of the east bound passenger train and instantly killed.  The horse
was uninjured.  An inquest was held by Coroner J. A. Allen and the
verdict exonerated the engineer from all blame.  The deceased was 86
years of age and remarkably ambitious and industrious for one so old.
The funeral will be held Wednesday.  It is just six weeks since we noted
the death of his wife.
