"Jacko is dead ! Jacko, the famous Indian of the 1st Michigan Sharpshooters, 2d Division, 9th Corps, as he was fond of telling everybody, has gone to the happy hunting grounds. He was well known in Charlevoix. He was a $12 pensioner and a member of the GAR but was very fond of firewater. Jacko died at an Indian lumber camp. The Boyne Citizen gives the following particulars: He had been complaining last week of feeling sick and indications point to the fact that he was suffering from pneumonia. The last time he was about the camp was Saturday afternoon, when he went to the "shack" of David Paul and went to bed. He stayed in this "shack' all Sunday and last night Paul went to bed in the same bunk with him This morning he lay with his feet across Paul, when the latter got up to go to work and he noticed nothing peculiar in him. Later he called at the "shack" again and discovered that Jack was dead "
