JOHN D. JACKSON DIES; RESIDED HERE 63 YEARS.
______
John D. Jackson, aged 90 years and 3 days, a Civil War veteran and a resident of this community for more than 63 years, died last Thursday evening at 7:40 at his home on South Fifth street in Neodesha. He had been in failing health for several years and had been bedfast for the last twelve years.
Mr. Jackson was a well known and highly regarded citizen of Neodesha and surrounding vicinity. He had been a resident of Wilson county for sixty years and the past twenty-two years had resided in Neodesha. Mr. Jackson had a wide acquaintance and all who knew him loved and respected him for his life's path was marked. During his active years he lived a busy, useful life. As a farmer and stock buyer in the years that have flown he was absolutely honest and fair in all his business dealings. Mr. Jackson always enjoyed the confidence and good-will of his neighbors and friends. His death, while not unexpected, was nevertheless a severe blow to his loved ones. During his last illness he was tenderly and solicitously cared for by some of his children and everything that medical skill and loving hands could do was done for him.
Mr. Jackson had long been a familiar figure in Neodesha.
After his retirement from farming, he continued his business as a stock buyer for many years. As long as his health permitted, he spent much time up town, visiting with friends, and he will be missed by his many friends as well as his children.
John D. Jackson was born October 10, 1842, in Schuyler county, Rushville, Ill., and departed this life October 13, 1932. He was married to Ann Suffrone Buckles on February 29, 1872. Mrs. Jackson preceded him in death, having passed away February 3, 1917.
Mr. Jackson was a Civil war veteran. He enlisted on the 10th day of August 1862, in Company D, 115th Regiment of Illinois Infantry, and was mustered out June 11, 1865, at Camp Hacker, Tenn.
Mr. Jackson came to Kansas in March, 1867, settled in Miami county, 12½ miles south of Paola, remaining there until the fall of that year, when he returned to Illinois. He remained in Illinois two years. In February the following spring he was married and came to Kansas. He and his bride drove through in a covered wagon and settled on a claim on which he had already filed and prepared for their coming, five and one-half miles southwest of Neodesha which Mr. Jackson still owned at his death.
Mr. Jackson had also been a member of the Masonic lodge in Neodesha for over fifty years.
Funeral services held Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Methodist church for Mr. Jackson were very largely attended. Friends from southwest of Neodesha and other communities of this section and of this city gathered in large numbers to pay a last tribute to a highly regarded citizen. The Rev. A. J. Baird conducted the services, assisted by the pastor, Rev. E. C. Anderson. Rev. Baird paid a fine tribute to the life and character of Mr. Jackson. Funeral music was sung by Mrs. F. W. Cram, Mrs. Adah Bert, W. H. Davis and S. P. Shipley, accompanied at the organ by Miss Helen Davis. The songs were "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere", "Going Down the Valley One By One", and "Face to Face". The floral tributes were beautiful and the casket was draped with the stars and stripes.
Harmony lodge was in charge of services at the grave, and conducted the Masonic ritualistic service. Following this members of Seward-Ayars post, American Legion took charge and conducted the military rites. In charge of L. J. Catlin, commander of the post, the following veterans composed the firing squad: F. L. Meanor, Ira Krueger, H. R. Taylor, Dewey Casey, W. E. Moulton, Willford Laverty, Jack Willison and George Kile. Donald Thompson, bugler, sounded taps.
Pallbearers were selected from the Masonic order, and were: W. A. Rankin, J. F. Rankin, A. S. Hopkins, J. D. Brown, Dr. E. N. Nichols and A. M. Burton. Burial was made in the family lot in Neodesha cemetery.
Mr. Jackson is survived by the following children: Mrs. Laura Carlton, Pittsburg, Kans; Mrs. Effie Price and Mrs. Grace Edwards, Neodesha; Mrs. Edith Mumford, Sycamore; Mrs. Zola Fenner, Neodesha; Mrs. Viola Mitchell, Bartlesville, Okla.; John C. Jackson, Neodesha; Mrs. Nina Webb, Neodesha, and Mrs. Nora Bray, Colorado Springs, Colo. One child died in infancy. There are fifteen living grandchildren and seven great grandchildren.
A sister, Mrs. Mary Hailine, resides at Kansas City and a brother Garrett Jackson, lives in California.
A good man is at rest and the bereaved ones have the deepest sympathy of their many friends.
