EDGEFIELD, S. C., WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY" 14, 1912 NO. 52 In Memory of Mn. LE. Jackson The beautiful and useful life of I Mrs. JJ. E. Jackson came to a close ?on Nov. 16th. Mrs. Jackson was Miss Nannie- Elizabeth Holstein. She was first married to Mr. John Mundy. After his death she mar ried Mr. Luther Jackson, who with one daughter, Mrs. E. S. Johnson, survive her. She was the mother of only two children, Minnie and Corrie Jackson. Her youngest) daughter, Mrs. W. E. Holstein died ten years ago, leaving a little infant) daughter ten months old. Since then this child has been under the special care of Mrs. Js.ckson, and so beautifully and tenderly was the child cared for by her devoted grandmother. Ia early childhood Mrs. Jackson joined the Baptist ehurch. She was a member of this church until after she married Mr. Jackson, then she joined the Methodist church with her husband. There is never a time when we are willing ?to give up our loved ones, but I think we should feel thankful that this beautiful spirit was spared this long, and as she was so well prepared and willing, we should cheerfully wait for that glorious morning when the saints shall rise. The memory and influ ence of her long devoted and con secrated life will never be forgotten by her one daughter and grand-] children to whom she* was so faith ful. Her grandchildren are, Corrie) Holstein, Luther, Elizabeth and Ethelyn Johnson. "We shall sleep but not forever There will be a glorious dawn, We shall meet to part no, never, On the resurrection more." Niece. NOTICE OF ELECTION. State of South Carolina, County of Edgefield.
