General Notes: Husband - Leander Whistler Jackson


He received his education in the public schools of Rochester township, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, and from an early age commenced a self-supporting career. Ambitious and energetic he made every effort to acquire the necessary knowledge for the responsible work of a stationary engineer, and followed this calling for a period of twenty-five years. He then became superintendent for the S. Barnes Company Brick Works, at Bollesville, retaining this position ten years. In 1910 he was one of the organizers of the firm of Jackson & Gibson, wholesale dealers in paper and paper products, in Rochester, and this proved a very profitable enterprise. Mr. Jackson was connected with a number of other important business enterprises, among them being the Central Building & Loan Association, of which he was president. He always gave his consistent support to the Republican party, and served as a member of the common council of Rochester. His religious affiliation was with the Methodist Episcopal Church, in which he was a trustee beginning in 1888, and secretary of the Sunday school for over twenty years. Fraternally he was a member of the Woodmen of the World.
