T. JACKSON, on Troup street [now Third Avenue], in the this city. Mrs. JACKSON had been an invalid for some time, and her death was not altogether unexpected. Her sufferings, and they were great, were borne with that strength and patience which emanates alone from the Christian heart. For a long number of years her’s [sic] has been a most exemplary life, and she died as she had lived—with a trust in the Savior. Few people ever die where Christian grace is more beautifully exemplified than it was in the death of Mrs. JACKSON. She was conscious to the last departing breath, and calling each of her children and her grand children to her dying bed-side she tenderly embraced them each, bidding farewell, and telling them that she was crossing the “shining shore” and was going to a place where there was no more sickness, nor sor! row, nor parting, nor death. All who witnessed the touching scene were deeply affected. A few years ago her husband left her with the parting words to meet him in the better land. Yesterday she fulfilled that mission. “Mrs. JACKSON was born in Warren county, Ga., January 8th, 1809. Her maiden name was Sarah PACE, and on January 29th, 1824, she was married to Lowe JACKSON. To them four sons were born—W. H. and H. T. JACKSON, of this city, being two of them. For a long number of years they lived at the Cataula house in Harris county; moved to Alabama; and subsequently to this city. In early life Mrs. JACKSON united with the Baptist church and at the time of her death was a member of the First Baptist church in this city. The writer, who has known her from his boyhood, knew her to be a woman of the highest Christian type, and while the bereaved children and grandchildren mourn her death, they feel that all is well, for she has passed through this dark valley and the shadow of death, and now enjoys that eternal rest prepared for the people of God.” The “Columbus (GA) Daily Enquirer-Sun,” Tuesday Morning, 21 JUN 1881.
