?b?Charles Jackson, Early Calgarian, Dies Today
Established Homestead in West End in 1882; Was Past President of Old Timers' Association?/b?
Charles Jackson, 86, well-known Calgary pioneer and past president of the Southern Alberta Pioneers and Old Timers Association, died this morning at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Eva Lapp, 1711 29th St. S.W.
Mr. Jackson, who had been ill since the spring, died on a corner of the homestead he established in 1882. His daughter's house was built on a corner of his original property which originally occupied "Shaganappi Point" now part of the Municipal golf course and the Killarney municipal subdivision.
Born in Wingham, Ontario, Mr. Jackson came directly to Calgary on coming west in '82. In 1884 he started the city's first milk delivery, and was one of the early supporters of the Salvation Army when it first came to Calgary in 1887.
Mr. Jackson was the only original member of the Army's citadel corps to celebrate the 60th anniversary in Calgary, celebrated in October, 1947. He was a member of the Army bank for many years and donated the site now occupied by the Booth Memorial Home.
A familiar figure in Stampede parades, Mr. Jackson continued to drive the old steamer automobile which had once made him famous as "the first man in Calgary to own a car."
During his many years in Calgary, he farmed for several years and later was engaged in real estate business. During the past few years he had continued to make his home here, although he had spent much time traveling through the United States and Eastern Canada.
His wife, Mary Jane, died in Calgary in April, 1933. He is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Eva Lapp, Calgary, and Mrs. William Meaker, Lethbridge; nine grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

One of Calgary's oldest citizens died this week in Detroit, Mich., in the person of Abraham Jackson, father of Messrs. Thomas, Charles and Kelsey Jackson of Calgary, of Mrs. Charles W. Leech, of Detroit, and Mrs. A. G. Harrison and Mrs. G. T. Bragg, of Edmonton. He was 83 years of age.

Shaver to the Union cemetery, where the remains of his wife repose.
The late Mr. Jackson came of a pioneer Canadian family, his parents having settled near Carleton Place, Ontario, more that a century ago. They carved out two farms in the bush and their son, who is the subject of this notice, followed their example and engaged in farming for some years near Wingham, Ont., coming west in 1890. He went east to visit his daughter in Detroit about a year ago and was taken ill about six months ago. He was a member of the Methodist church, and a member of the Canadian Order of Foresters for more than 45 years.

(Research):Notes for THOMAS CODD:
Notes from Eileen Jackson:

1. Thomas and Elizabeth Codd and their five children arrived in Canada in 1820, "and in

the month of August of the same year proceeded to Lanark to obtain land." (See Upper

Canada Land Petition's, 27 August 1828, p. 106). Thomas Codd and his son George

located on lots 3N.E.., 4, and 5, concession 12. George obtained the patent for lot4S.W...
2. Family information is that the outcome of a dispute about a political issue accounts for

the difference in the spelling of the surname Codd in Canada. Thomas Sr., and his son

Richard selected "Coad", George, Thomas, Abraham, and James decided on "Code".

Codes who settled in Kitley in Leeds were also divided as to how they spelled the surname.

Family information is that they were relatives of Thomas Codd.
