THE ESTATE OF ROBT. JACKSON

Judge Pannier of County Court,
to Take Up Matter.

Decedent Lived in County for
Half a Century.

Among the matters to come before Judge Pannier today will be the hearing on claims in the matter of the estate of Robert Jackson, deceased. Mr. Jackson was one of the pioneer residents of Chippewa county, having died here fifty years or more at the time of his death, which occurred at his home on the Yellow River in the town of Edson last February.

Mr. Jackson was a millwright during his early life, being engaged in that line of work at Robson mill and Badger mills, and some of the other mills that formerly manufactured large quantities of lumber on the Chippewa river, that was rafted and run down the Chippewa and Mississippi rivers when that mode of transportation was in vogue.

After these mills ceased operations, Mr. Jackson for a number of years lived on a farm not many miles from this city in the town of Lafeyette, on the bank of the Yellow river at a picturesque point near Boyd.

Among the assets that belonged to his estate, was property willed him by his brother, Alexander H. Jackson (1903), late of Ocean City, N. J., who was a sea captain and died possessed of a large estate. He was a stockholder in the United States Steel company, the Pennsylvania Railway company, the United States express company and other large corporations of the country. The share of his estate willed the deceased, Robert Jackson, goes to the widow and children, most of whom are now residing in Chippewa county.

The deceased took an active interest in politics. He was a great reader and was well informed on all issues of the day, and in his declining years derived much enjoyment from a discussion of the questions in which he was very much interested.
