the death OF the venerable Col. Joseph Jackson, who for
many years has stood among our most prominent ca-
zens. He died on the 18th ut. almost eighty-ons years
old.
In many respects Col. J. was an extraordinary man.
Naturally he had a strong aud clear mind, which he had
inyi0Oratsd nv extensive reading. Ha eArly ADVANTAGES
were somewhat superior to those enjoyed by the most,
YET not very much, 80 that his great intelligence was
tiox OF Independence, and rscollected once TO have seen
Gen. Washington in his fathers house at Rockaway, on
Mount Hope, to dine with John Jacob Farsi, E.g., who
was casting large amounts Of shot aud balls for
with the actors Of the Revolution, and so com
pletely was his mind imbued with thsir feelings, aud
he was a most entet tanning companion for any one
who relishes the stirring tales Of ''the ines tina tried
mems soul." He was present 10 New York city when
Gen. Washington took the oath Of Office as the first Pre-.
sident of the United states, and vas wont with enthusi-
asm to speak Of the majestic appearance Of Warrington
on that occasion. This was on the 30th OF April, 1859,
when Col. j. was fifteen years old. In November, 1916
the Last year Of washington's administrat on, he was ap.
pointed postmaster at Rockaway, and held the ohcs
until ls43, . period Of forty seven years.
During his youth and early manhood the fearful
French revolution Of the last century and the brilliant
career OF Napoleon were enacted, and In these periods OF
history he displayed uncommon Intelligence, When past

He was . most Industrious reader, saving time when
most pressed with an extended and perplexing business,

His di, bursements among hborers during that period
were large, and his capital for many years was one OF
the largest means OF furnishing work sad the means of
living to laborers in this region.
In 1904 he was a~ppointsd Colonel OF the Sd Regiment
OF militia Of Morn. Co., and 10 September, 1917, was
ordered into actual seryi,e by Gov. Aaron Ogden, and
was several months at Jersey CITY In command OF q regi.
ment He resigned this office 10 1919.
In 1919 he was appointed Justice OF tbs Peace AMI
a Judge Of the Common Pleas, and served In these sta.
tions until 1916, a period OF so year,. In all those sta.
tions his conduct vas marked with integrity, and com
manded the appreciation OF his fsllo~ citizens. He was
q member Of the legislature three successive years,
during the exciting time Of Gen. Jackscn's arst term Of
Office, and not loog since he gave 10 q particular friend,
as great favor, an autograph letter which he had re.

Thursday morning he was severely Ill With Inflammation

his funeral was attended by 0 large coDcourse Of peo-
pie. The venerable senior pastor, Rev. Barn sbas King,
preached on the occasion. He had BEEN intimately 90.
quanted with decessed since January, 1909. Although
Colonel Jackson had not been IN actual business for two
years past, all feel that the community has met with a
great loss.
II rs fact not easily parsneled, that the Presbyterian
church In Roekaway has lost within . year, seven mem
oefs, whose average age il eighty and ave sevsnths years.
Five Of them were over eighty years Of age. Within
seven years the pastors Of that church have attended the
funerals Of thirty persons over seventy year, old, Of
whom seventeen were over eighty years, and six we're
over ninety years. Two Of the number attained TO nine
