Additional: Died of consumption on Thursday 8th inst. Rev. J. Jackson, Pastor of Baptist Church of this place. Funeral services were held in the Baptist Church of Sabbath morning and the body buried in Elmwood Cemetery. Bro. Spencer of Ada, O. preached the funeral discourse at Mr. J's own request, the two having been intimate friends from boyhood. The congregation was very large, many persons being obliged to stand during the services. Mr. Jackson has for years been pastor of the church here and by his consistant earnest Christian character won for himself the respect of all our people. He has been in feeble health for some time, not being able to hold services, but part of the time insisting upon it, and while not really able to be out of his house, his zeal exceeded his powers. From Rev. Spencer's remarks, we gather the following Mr. J. was born in Warren County , O. Sept 18th, 1825, being at his death in his 49th year. At the commencement of his ministry being poor in this world's goods, he taught school for his support, and walked nine miles to his place of service. This he did for years, without charge. He had been preaching some 28 years, and died in hope of reward given to the good and faithful servant.
