DEATH OF CHAS. JACKSON
Esteemed Citizen and Nationally Known Feeder, Dies From Heart Attack
Charles C. Jackson, who lived one mile south of Earlham died from a heart attack while doing his chores on Tuesday morning of last week, aged 75. (June 27, 1933; Buried Earlham Cemetery)
Mr. Jackson was not only widely known and highly esteemed as a citizen of the Earlham community but he was nationally known as an outstanding success in the feeding of livestock. Himself and brother Harve Jackson, showed beef cattle at the International show in Chicago in 1900. Since that time the firm of Jackson Bros. won many blue ribbons against world wide competition and it is generally believed that they were among the first to introduce to the stock men of the country, the feeding and marketing of "baby" beeves.
Mr. Jackson and his brother moved from near Indianola in the year 1879 driving a team of mules to a farm wagon. They located on what is now known as the O. L. Taylor farm and later bought the farm near Earlham.
While not pioneers in the strictest sense, they located here in a day when modern farming methods and modern farm equipment was little known. The first year or two was largely devoted to grubbing timber and breaking the native prairie sod.
They owned one of the first "twin" grain binders, purchasing it in 1882, also one of the first checkrow corn planters that succeeds the old two man affairs where corn was dropped at or near the row marks made by the improvised sled and marker.
(Charles was born April 5, 1859 in Warren Co, Iowa and married Julia Courtney on March 7, 1883)Transcribed by Treva Patterson tpat100@aol.com
