Age 88 years, eight months and 12 days. She died at the home of her son William H. Jackson where she had resided for the past several years. She was united in marriage to Edward Jackson (now deceased) May 27, 1866, and to this union five sons and three daughters were born, Namely: William H. Jackson, Big Springs; T. J.

She kept several others, some for months and some for two or three years. She is also survived by 20 grandchildren; thirty great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild. She always tried to make everyone feel welcome and her home was always open to anyone that needed its care and protection. She was kind-hearted and always enjoyed doing for everyone and especially small children, and was loved by all who knew her. In the year of 1878 or 79, she joined the Methodist church with her husband. When they didn’t have church buildings they worshiped in the old Jackson schoolhouse and the homes. She demonstrated a Christian life by the good she did for others. Short services were held at the home on Monday and were continued at the No. Seven church with interment in the church cemetery there. Funeral services were in charge of the Rev. Albert Smith of near Grantsville; assisted by the Rev. N. H. Bartlett of Grantsville and Rev. Kelley of Pleasant Hill. By A grand-daughter, Ruth Jackson.
