Obituary April 21, 1899 "North Jackson - Charles French died at his home on Feb. 19th, 1899, age 89 years, 6 months and 10 days. He was the third child of Ephraim and Priscilla French, who at the time of his birth (1809) resided in West Dummerston, Vt. In 1835 he came to Jackson, the roads being almost impassible, and eleven days were consumed. In later years he often referred to this time with remark, "We can now cross the Continent in less time than it took us to travel 220 miles." Susquehanna County Historical Society's One Hundred Years in Susquehanna County Pennsylvania.
