JOHN J. JACKSON
[People’s Press, 15 August 1905]
After an illness of nearly two years John Jackson passed away at his home, 31 Wall Street, St. Catharines, last Tuesday afternoon, aged 78 years. Deceased was born in Lincolnshire, England, and came to this county over half a century ago. He engaged in contracting, and while following this line of business was engaged in the construction of the Welland Railroad, or what is now known as the Welland division of the Grand Trunk railway, and also the Wellington Grey & Bruce. About forty-five years ago, he took up his residence in Port Robinson, and was a continuous resident of that place until last January, when the family moved to St. Catharines. Mr. Jackson was, during all his residence in Port Robinson, a member of the St. Paul’s Episcopal church, and was also a staunch Conservative. Besides a sorrowing life-partner, he is survived by a family of four sons and two daughter, viz: George and Frank, of the N.S. & T.R.; Alfred and Miss May Jackson, of St. Catharines, and John and Mrs. James E. Cook of Toronto, to all of whom the sympathy of many friends will be extended. The remains were brought here Thursday for burial.
