From Historical Reminiscences of the early times in Marlborough Mass...
"The progress of modern civilization has introduced many innovations during the past decade, and certainly none have been more noted than those made in the manufacture of boots and shoes. These innovations are due chiefly to the makers of the lasts and patterns by which these are made. There is no concern devoted to this line of industry that has done
more to advance the style and comfort of footwear, by the introduction of neat fitting lasts, than the Marlborough Last Co. This business was started in 1860 by Thomas Jackson who was succeeded by his son T. E. Jackson."
Thomas died at the National Sailors' Home in Quincy MA of Arteriosclerosis complicated by senility, at the age of 87 years 2 months 6 days.
"The National Sailors' Home was a residence place for sailors and marines who served in the U.S. Navy around the time of the Civil War.
Following their tour of duty, the veterans resided at the National Sailors' Home, located on a 6.5 acre farm in the area bordering what is now Rice Road and Fenno Street, in the Beechwood Knoll section of Quincy. Dedication ceremonies of Sailors' Home were held on August 1, 1866. The original purpose of this home was to provide a residence for disabled sailors and marines that had served in the U.S. Navy during the Civil War. The home was funded through private fund raising as well as subsidies from the federal government.
Due to declining numbers of occupants and mismanagement of funds, the home was forced to close its doors around 1930-31. The cemetery is now all that remains of the National Sailors' Home. It has been entrusted to the care of the City of Quincy."
