Mrs. John K. Jackson

    Mrs. John K. Jackson departed this life July 24, 1919, after an
illness of many weeks.  She was called home to join her husband who passed
away November 23, 1918.
    Aunt Mary, as she was best known, was born near Little Flat, Bath
county, Kentucky, August 6, 1835.  She was united in marriage to John Kirk
Jackson September 17, 1876, at Lebanon, Ind., and united with the Christian
church at Salem, Ind., in 1868.
    Uncle John and Aunt Mary made several changes, but she was always
anxious to find a church home in each community.  She was identified with
the Wall Street Christian church at the time of its organization under the
preaching of Rev. Henry Martin.
    Mr. and Mrs. Jackson moved to Lafayette county, Ind., in 1870 and to
Missouri in 1873.  In 1898 they moved to their home near Wall Street, Kan.
    Aunt Mary was loved and respected by all who knew her.  She leaves a
son, W. M. Jackson, a daughter, Mrs. P. C. Henderson, and a sister, Mrs. A.
Jackson, besides a host of friends and relatives to mourn her loss.
    Funeral services were conducted by Rev. U. S. G. Prowell of
Plesanton at the Wall Street church and she was laid to rest in Wesley
Chapel cemetery.
