Death of Wm. E. Jackson
The citizens of Red Cloud, especially the older residents, were pained to learn last Friday, March 25, of the death, at the age of 71 years, of William E. Jackson, one of the few yet remaining original settlers of the city. For many years he was one of the principal factors in the growth of Red Cloud, ever ready to lead and do his share in any enterprise that would enhance its interest and welfare. For several years he has been in poor health and after a short sojourn in a milder southern climate, he returned a few months ago to spend his few remaining days among old associates and friends. Thus in the land where he had spent his best years, surrounded by the members of his family, he passed away at peace with the world.
Mr. Jackson and family arrived at the point where Red Cloud now stands, on August 9, 1870, following the first settlement by Gov. Garber, August Roat and David Heffelbower in July previous. The county was organized April 19, 1871, and the first regular election following, Mr. Jackson was elected county treasurer, his colleagues being Silas Garber judge; T.B. Williams clerk; Ed Kellogg superintendent; James Calvert sheriff; Donald McCallum surveyor; Dr. Head coroner; and Joseph Garber, Allen T. Ayers and Peter Head commissioners. Of his official associates at that time, five now survive him.
He was born in Fairfield County, Ohio, March 23, 1827, his parents being farmers, with whom he remained until nineteen years of age. At that age, upon the breaking out of the Mexican war, he enlisted May 29, 1846 in Co. H, 3d Ohio, under Zach Taylor, and at the close of the war was mustered out June 22, 1847. He was married January 7, 1851, to Miss Julia A. Miner. In the spring following, Mr. and Mrs. Jackson moved to Allamakee County, Iowa, where they resided until coming to this section in 1870. During the civil war, he served in Co. B. 27th Iowa, was engaged in a number of battles and wounded at Nashville.
His wife and three children, Mrs. G.M. Taylor, now living in Kansas; Mrs. John Berenzen of Pawnee County, Nebraska; and one son, William C. Jackson, survive him.
The funeral services, attended by many friends of the deceased and family, were held Saturday morning from the Catholic Church. Rev. McKenna officiating, and the remains laid to rest in Red Cloud Cemetery.
