DIED--At the general hospital, Calgary, on Wednesday, October 30, 1901, Millie, the beloved wife of Thomas Jackson.
---
One of the most impressive funerals ever held in Calgary was that of the late Mrs. Jackson on Sunday afternoon. The Methodist church was filled on the sad occasion and the solemn service was conducted by the Rev. Fred Langford, who still shows traces of his long illness, which, as our readers know was of the same character as that which carried off Mrs. Jackson leaving six young children motherless. During the service Messrs. Tood, Walt and McAra sang a touching trio "Gone to Her Rest."

?b?ABRAHAM JACKSON DIES AT AGE OF 83?/b?
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. The remains were brought here for interment and the funeral will be held this afternoon at 2 o'clock from the undertaking parlors of A. M. 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.
