Dcn,h OF Mrs, n, c. jackson.


Died, at her residence In this Gil IS,
about 8 o'clock yesterday mornig'
April IS, 1880, Mrs. Julia A. b. jack
son, wife Of Msj, Richard G. Jackson.
Mrs. jackson was the daughter OF
the late venerable Gen. William Brsz"
elton, and was born December III,
1923, She was educated at the oid |
Salem academy o school under the
conduct of the Moravians, at Salem,
N, G, She was lady of refinement
and intelligence, aud easily won
friends by her aifable manners and
genial nature. The older citizens and
families of Knoxville remember how,
as young lady, her presence often
afforded enjoyment and pleasure 10
the social and featal gatherings In this
city.
wears old she was made
q subject Of divine grace, and joined
the Presbyterian church. She was an
earnest and devout christian. Suisse
ousntly she was msrried to Mel. II. c.
Jackson, on the Goth of November,
1876, and took up her residence IN
Athens, where by her genial nature,
neighborly goodness. generous klnd.
ness and good works she won all
classes as her friends.
Ten years ago Msj. jackson removed
to this city, where they have since re-
sided, Mrs. jackson connected her
self here with the First Presbyterian
church, In which her membership
continued. More than year ago her
health began to decline, and soon took
on a serious form. All that human
skill and power could do failed to ar
reet her disease, For months past her
physical suffering has been constant
and great, but 1t has been borne with
wonderful christian patieDcs and
resignation to the divine will. Only
those who have been permitted to be
with her often know the intensity OF
} her distress, or the extent of her sur
fering. But through 1t all she was not
only unmurmuring and unrepinipg,
. but maintained her genial disposition
. and cheerfulness. Her trust and con.
, fidence In the promises and grace of
God, through Jesus Christ, never wa.
vered. In great mercy, her intellect
was continued to the very last day of
her life, uninterrupted by delirium,
and scarcely ever obstructed by the
action of medicine. For this she was
profoundly grateful. The kindly sym
, psthy and tender nursing of family
and friends she appreciated and re-
paid with affectionate gratitude. 1t
would have been no q eat matter of sur
prise, with such suffering and distress ss
she endured, had she died weeks OF
months ago The grace of God was
her strength and hope, and the sup
port granted her continually by the
promises of the goapel, by the COM
forting Influences OF the Holy Spirit
and by the presence OF the Savior In
T His Word and Truth, was manifest
