Jackson Obit Pike County, Journal Zebulon, GA., Friday, October 9, 1891 Death's Sad Claims Homes Made Sad By Its Invasion Capt. G.W. Jackson Capt. G.W. Jackson is dead! This is the sad news that spread over the vicinity of Hollonville and Pike county last Sunday morning. For several years Capt. Jackson has been troubled with heart complaint, and about 2 o'clock in the morning, he was taken with a severe attack from which he fell in his wife's arms and died within five minutes. Capt. Jackson was 67 years of age and has lived in this county all his life. He was an influential and useful citizen, loved, praised and respected by all who knew him, and his friends were not few. He was an honorary member of the lodge of F. & A.M. and was buried with Masonic honors in the cemetery at Hollonville on Monday at 11 o'clock, the funeral ceremonies being conducted by Rev. E.M. Hooton of Jackson. Capt. Jackson has raised a family of seven children, six daughters and one son, all of whom are now married. A man is gone whose place would be hard to fill.
