Des Moines Together With The History Of Polk County, Volume II, The S.J. Clarke Publishing Company, 1911.
This was also the birthplace of his father, Hiram W. Jackson, who was born in 1818 and passed away about 1890. In his early manhood the latter taught school, giving such excellent service that he was later made superintendent of education in Wyoming County, but during the latter part of his life he held a government position in the War Department at Washington. When the call came for troops in 1861, he was one of the first to respond, enlisting in the Seventy-eighth New York Infantry and going to the front in April as lieutenant of Company G. His regiment participated in some of the most severe as well as notable encounters on the southern battlefields among them being that at Antietam, the second Bull Run, which resulted in such heavy losses on the Union side and the campaign in the Shenandoah Valley. For his wife Mr. Jackson chose Miss Marian B. Jenks, whom he had always known, her birth occurring in Arcadia, New York in 1827. They became the parents of two daughters, Belle and Florence, both of whom as now deceased and one son. The first named became the wife of W.H. Patrick and the mother of five children; which the latter married Michael McNett, by whom she had three children.
