JOHN B. JACKSON, 81, NATIVE OF CLACKAMAS COUNTY, DIES HERE
Born on D.L.C Near Liberal; Lived with Daughters;
Funeral Monday at 2
John B. Jackson, 81, native of Clackamas County, and a descendant of Andrew Jackson and Stonewall Jackson, passed away suddenly from heart trouble at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Roscoe Teter, Oregon City sometime Thursday night. When her father did not arise at the usual hour on Friday morning, Mrs. Teter investigated and found the lifeless body in bed. From indications, death came during his sleep. He died in the old four-poster maple bed his father made over 70 years ago.

When retiring he was in the best of health, and had planned to visit his other daughters, Mrs. Jessie Davidson, Oswego; Mrs. Edith Settlemeier and Mrs. Letha Newton, of Portland. He made his home most of the time with his daughters, although he always called Molalla his home.

Mr. Jackson was born September 4, 1853, on the donation land claim of his parents, Francis and Sarah Ann Campbell, in the Molalla country near Liberal.

Mr. Jackson was a member of early Oregon pioneers. His mother, whose first marriage was to Mr. Morris, crossed the plains in 1852 with her eight children, her husband and two daughters having passed away while crossing the plains. Driving the six horse covered wagon, Mrs. Morris continued westward towards Oregon. Upon her arrival, Mrs. Morris settled in Clackamas County, and later married Francis Jackson who came west via Cape Horn. The family took up the donation land claim near Liberal, where John the only child of this union, was born. He had retained this claim to the time of his death.

Mr. Jackson, on May 7, 1882, married Miss Ova Samson, whose parents also were Oregon pioneers. Mrs. Jackson died January 2, 1917.

Surviving are the daughters; Mrs. Edith Settlemier, Portland; Mrs. Jessie Davidson, Oswego; Mrs. Letha Newton, Portland; Mrs. Olia Teter, Oregon City; besides four grandchildren, Erdis and Jesse Settlemier, Daniel O'Brien, Portland and Ilma Teter, route 1, Oregon City.

Funeral services will be held on Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Oregon City Funeral Home. Rev. Roy Anchor, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, will officiate. Mrs. W. C. Green and Olin Switzer will be the vocalists. Internment will be in the family plot in Mountain View Cemetery, and the remains laid beside those of his wife.
