Mrs. W. W. Jackson---
Many hearts were made sad by news of the death of Mrs. W. W. Jackson, who died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Lincoln Stephenson near Blue Eye, MO. Mrs Jackson and her husband were long-time residents of the Farewell district and were loved and respected by all. Mrs. Jackson had been an invalid for many years and had been real sick for several weeks. Her husband preceded her in death about two years ago.
Mrs. Jackson leaves two sons and three daughters to mourn her departure: Claude of ID, John and Mrs. Lincoln Stephenson of Blue Eye, MO, Mrs. Dolph King of IA, Mrs. Ida Walker of Kansas City, MO, and Mrs. Mattie Tipton of Green Forest, AR. All were with her during her last illness except Claude.
She was a good Christian woman, a member of the Primitive Baptist Church, and was strong in her belief. It can truly be said that a good woman has gone to her reward. Her children have lost a good mother and the community has lost a good citizen.
Her grandsons were pall bearers at the funeral services which were conducted at Blue Eye. Her body was laid to rest beside her husband in Yocum Cemetery.
