A PIONEER GONE
John E. Jackson Found Dead in His Bed
He Came to This City Twenty-five Years Ago – At One Time County Surveyor – Death Probably Resulted from Heart Disease
John E. Jackson, one of the pioneers of the city, was found dead in his bed at the Euclid House on North Main street yesterday morning.
Friday night Mr. Jackson was at the California Club, of which he was a director. He talked to a number of his friends, and left the club to attend the theater. After the performance he went to his apartments, and yesterday morning was found lifeless. The Coroner was notified and the body was removed to Garrett's undertaking establish[ment] on North Main street, where an autopsy and inquest will be held tomorrow. It is thought that his death was due to heart disease.
Mr. Jackson came to this country from Australia over a quarter of a century ago, and landed in San Francisco. In 1871 he came to Los Angeles on board the old steamer Senator. Among the passengers on the steamer was T. E. Rowan, who was afterward elected Mayor. By profession Mr. Jackson was a surveyor, and he followed that calling up to the time of death, almost continually. At one time he was County Surveyor, and laid out the town site of Santa Monica. He was also local agent for the Southern Pacific Railroad, and later became land appraiser for that corporation. Mr. Jackson married Miss Charta Carrillo, a sister of J. J. Carrillo, the present Mayor of Santa Monica, but they separated five or six years ago, and Mrs. Jackson is now living in San Francisco. The deceased was about 55 years of age, and has a son who is at Berkeley College.
Mr. Jackson was very popular, and was a member of the Creel Club, an exclusive set of anglers; as well as a director of the California Club. His death was a great shock to his friends. A notice has been posted on the California Club's bulletin board announcing that the members will attend the funeral in a body.
