This community was made sad last week upon receiving word of the passing of two of Jackson township's lifelong residents, Andrew JACKSON and son, William. Their deaths came within a few hours. Willie, as he was better known, was never a strong, robust boy, but was a home-loving boy, and was always busy around the home and on the farm. He loved nature and the birds, chickens and flowers were his friends. Willie and his father wre real pals, and spent their leisure hours sitting on the veranda listening to the many song birds and viewing the beautiful scenery of the surrounding woodlands. Mr. JACKSON was bereft of his companion 15 years ago, and since that time has had the companionship of his sons, Guy and Willie, and dutiful daughter, Jessie. Father and son leave to mourn their loss, Guy, Robert, Ralp;h, Jessie JAC! KSON, Mrs. Mary PARSLEY and Mrs. Elsie PORTER; 17 grandchildrlen, two great-grandchildren and a host of relatives and friends. The bereaved children have the heartfelt sympathy of their many friends. - Link to the Obituary of his wife, Lola (ROBERTS) JACKSON [1867IN-1925IN]. http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.indiana.counties.greene/2868/mb.ashx - Link to the Obituary of his son, Robert JACKSON [1907IN-1948IN] http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.indiana.counties.greene/3873/mb.ashx Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
