ZACHARIAH T. JACKSON
 
	Zachariah T. Jackson, general farmer and lumberman, resides seven  
miles southwest of Newport.  He was born in Monroe county, Ohio, August 17, 
1854.  His parents were Samuel and Deborah (Stevens) Jackson, natives of 
Pennsylvania.  When quite young they removed to Ohio and thence to Wisconsin. 
Here they lived until the period of their deaths.  The family were distantly 
related to General Jackson, "Old Hickory," and of Irish and Scotch descent. 
They were the parents of six children, five of whom are living; David, of 
Wisconsin; Jesse of Ohio; Andrew; John; and Zachariah, our subject.
 
	The latter was reared in Sauk county, Wisconsin, where he attended 
the public schools, secured a fair education and worked for different  
farmers and his parents.  In 1901 he came to Stevens county, finding 
various employments, and finally taking a homestead of one hundred and  
sixty acres of land, having upon it eight hundred thousand or one million 
feet of excellent saw timber.
 
	Mr. Jackson was married in 1875, to Mary Sanborn, daughter of  
Daniel and Catherine Sanborn, natives of Illinois.  Many years ago they 
located in Wisconsin, where the wife of our subject was born, and where they 
passed away some time since.  Mr. and Mrs. Jackson have five children: Ralph; 
Alice; Susan, wife of Earl Rusho; Deborah, married to Daniel McTagart; and 
Cleveland, all of Stevens county.
 
	The political affiliations of Mr. Jackson are with the democratic 
party.
