San Luis Quarterly Conference (Jul
5, 2010)
The San Luis Stake held a quarterly conference on July 14 and 15, 1901.
This article in the July 27, 1901
Deseret News
mentions Samuel Jackson. It says: "At the session held on Monday Bishop
Christen Jensen reported the Eastdale ward and Bishop Samuel Jackson reported
the Manassa Ward."
Samuel Jackson, Sr. Obituary (Apr
24, 2010)
The Washington County News,
May 8, 1919 contains
the
obituary of Samuel Jackson, Sr. Samuel was born July 13, 1844 in Manchester,
Lancashire, England and died on May 3, 1919, at St. George, Utah.
Thanks to KariAnn Christensen for
the find.
The obituary is contained in the second column and is entitled: "Samuel
Jackson Passes." It reads: "Samuel Jackson, of Manassa, Colo, who
had been here about ten weeks visiting his sister-in law, Mrs Myra Adams, passed
away at the latter's home on Saturday, May 3. He had the 'flu' last
October which left him with a weak heart and asthma. He went to the coast
in hopes of being benefited but got no improvement there so came to St. George,
where he died of the trouble stated. Samuel Jackson was 75 years old and
was bishop of Manassa ward for 21 years, resigning when ill health overtook him.
He is survived by two wives and seven children. One of his wives, Mrs
Martha Jackson, a sister of Mrs Myra Adams of this city was with him during his
illness and death here. A son, Samuel Jackson, Jr., came here for the
remains and left with them Tuesday for Manassa, Mrs Jackson accompanying him."
The last column under "Card of Thanks" reads: "To all those kind friends
who helped us by their presence, sympathy and kindly acts in our recent
bereavement, we desire to extend most sincere thanks. Martha Jackson,
Samuel Jackson, Jr., Myra Adams

William Jackson Missionary Journal
(Jan 9, 2010).
William served two missions. This is his
journal from his second mission to England from April, 1909 to April, 1911.
I believe the transcription was by Karen Jackson.
San Luis
Stake Academy Documents (Jul 31, 2009). Four documents
pertaining to the San Luis Stake Academy: (1) commencement program for the
class of 1920, (2) commencement program
for the class of 1921 which included Elvera
Jackson, (3) commencement program for the class
of 1922 which included Warren Rasmussen and (4) a
souvenir commemorating the S. L. S. A which burned down on April 11, 1925.
For more information on the S. L. S. A. see the article written by
Donald Haynie.
The S. L. S. A. Roar
(Jun 27, 2009).
The S. L. S. A. Roar newspaper published in
Manassa, Colorado on February 24, 1922. I assume S. L. S. A. is short for
San Luis Stake Academy. Page two reads: "Mr. and Mrs. Will
Jackson are the proud parents of a new baby boy." This is referring to the
birth of Elbert Jackson on February 15th, 1922.
Elvera Jackson Rasmussen

Petition for Land Documents (Jun 16, 2007).
When Mary Georgena Jackson (b. April 9, 1885) passed away she held land in her
name. Since she did not have a will it was necessary for the family to
file a petition for the land. An ad was taken out in the local newspaper
indicating the families claim to the property. And William filed a
verification document. Click here,
here
and here.
Zachariah Jaques update (Mar 18, 2007). Jeanette Hurst, daughter of Josephine Jackson
Jones, has been doing some great work on
Zachariah Jaques and provided me with two documents. Zachariah married
Sarah Clewer and was the father of Hannah Maria who married Samuel Jackson. The first document is
a journal of John Woodhouse
who writes of Zachariah becoming sick in St. Louis, MO. The second
document speaks of Zachariah accidentally killing someone and his
sentence being deferred. She
will be updating his history in the near future.

1930.
