Death of John Tate Jackson
John Tate Jackson, adopted son of Mr. and Mrs. James Tate of this town, Quarter Master Sergeant in the 115th Regiment, died at Kemper Barracks, in Cincinnati, on Monday morning last, of cramp colic, after an illness of only thirty-six hours. His remains were brought home by Capt. J.A. Means, arriving here on Tuesday P.M. The funeral was attended this (Wednesday) morning at 10 o'clock at the residence of his afflicted foster-parents by a large concourse of his friends and acquaintances--many of his military comrades being among the number by whom he was buried with military honors.
Young Jackson, or Tate, as he was generally called, was about 23 years of age and had been in the employ of Messrs. Christy, in their leather store, some eight or ten years, by whom he was held in very great esteem. On the breaking out of the war, John was among the first to respond to the call of his country, by joining the old 19th, in which he honorably served during the term of his enlistment, (three months). Upon the last call of the President he again responded by enlisting in the 104th regiment, but at Camp Massillon was transferred to the 115th, in which he was appointed to the position of Quarter Master Sergeant, and the manner in which he discharged the onerous duties of that position, and the estimation in which he was held by his regiment, are fully set forth in the following....
