Jewett was a Jackson Herald correspondent and writer of community news from 1912 until his death. In honor of their community, the city of Nicholson remembers him for this quote:
“Some places are praised for the magnificent buildings, while others are honored for the fine scenery. Nicholson would not take the prize of the above cases, yet she can furnish just as good, cultured people as any town.”
