Jerry sites his birth in Alabama , near Town Creek, August 13,1849, in an old fashioned log home. He was the son of John W. and Lydia Jackson.
Young Jerry lived here in Tallapoosa Co. for seven years with his parents . When asked how the family made a living ,Jerry said, "We hunted and fished and had chills and fever the rest of the time."
Jerry Jackson was an editor and writer for numerous newspapers in Texas, and also for the Fowler Ensign in Fowler, California --although he did not have one full day of education. On his first day of school, he "did not like his teacher, so he did not return." His wit and wisdom can be found in The Reminisences of the Old Days by Jeremiah Clements Jackson.
The Jackson's moved to Texas in 1863, landing in Hopkins Co. Christmas week. Jerry was apprenticed as a printer for three years in Paris,Texas. After learning his trade he worked on the following papers, Paris Press, Commerical Jimplicate,Texas Press of Pleasant, Marlin Mercury of Falls Co, Moving Ball at Waco,The Register,Patrons of Husbandry, Austin Gazette,San Antonio Herald, and the Houston Journal.
Mr. Jackson was in the printers business twenty seven years.
In the year of 1876.October 18 He was married to Ida Harlan. In disposition, Mr. Jackson gave her very high tribute of praise ,when he said,"that during their two years of marriage she never gave me a cross word." His wife's death was caused indirectly from being thrown from the seat of a wagon in which she was riding. Her husband begged her not to get in and ride, as the mules had been trying to run away and it was only 1/2 mile away to home,but she just laughed and climbed in, when they got home he told her to sit still until he had the mules unhitched, which she did. Just before the last trace was undone, a man that owed Mrs. Jackson some money for teaching school,stepped up and spoke,which frightened the mules causing them to bolt,throwing Mrs. Jackson down and injuring her. She was soon to become a mother,so did not live long afterwards. She died 1879,deeply mourned by her young husband,relatives and a host of friends.
In 1887 Mr. Jackson again married, this time a widow with two children Lucenda Claton McKinnon. The girl Alice 13 years old and the boy Sydney was younger.
Mr. Jackson worked on the railroad 2 years in Mexico as a stake holder,carrier and sniper, during 1881 and 1882. In 1891 he came to Fresno Co. Calif, and worked for Mr. D Barnwell in West Park which is about 5 miles west of Fresno. He again went to Texas and returned with his family 1892, landing in West Park renting the Crelman place. Then his next move was to Fowler Calif. 1894, where he purchased an unimproved 20 acres,which he planted to apricots, peaches, nectarines and sultanos. One year his place produced 19 tons of dried peaches and his income was $3,400.
He was again left a widower, March 22,1915, but still lives on this farm with his cats of which he is very fond and usually has a great number of them.
