"Judge Jackson Bishop was born in Lee County, Virginia,June 7, 1848 and departed this life at his home near Edgar Springs, on April 4,1919 being at the time of his death 70 years, 10 months old. Funeral services were held at the Smith cemetery, where he was interred.

Judge Bishop,when quite a young man moved to Ballard County, Kentucky and soon afterwards moved to Phelps County, Missouri, at which place he resided until the time of his death. Following the outbreak of the Civil War he entered the ranks of the Confederate Army, and served during that time.

Judge Bishop held several positions of honor and trust, and more particularly will the the people of this County remember him by his service as Associate Judge of the County Court,which position he held in 1897 and 1898, being elected by the people as Judge of the Western District, and so faithfully did he discharge the duties of his office, and so impartially did he administer the affairs of the County, there again in 1914 he was called upon to make the race for Presiding Judge of the County Court, and was elected and served as Presiding Judge of the years 1915, 1916, 1917, and 1918, but on account of failing health, resigned in January 1919. He was a man of broad views, and made the most of both the ups and downs of life. He believed in the truism, "Laugh and the world laughs with you." It is little that we can say or do to show and record our love and respect for, and the preserve the memory of our departed fiend. When we say that we respected, honored, and loved him, all is said, And when we have spread upon the records of this Court the sentiments expressed above that his memory may be preserved in the archives of this Court, we have done our utmost to show our love and respect.

Now therefore, out of love, honor and affection for the memory of our departed friend, Judge Jackson Bishop, we do hereby order that the above be spread upon the records of this Court, and that a certified copy of same be by the Clerk of this Court sent to his beloved wife and family."
