Mrs Jackson described the several wounds the brave woman received, and spoke of the testimonials given her for faithful duty and exemplary conduct from her leaders. On returning home, her sex having been discovered, she resumed the customary apparel ot her sex. She died in Sharon on April 27, 1927, aged 67 years. alt may truly be said that no parallel to Deborah Sampson is to be found in the annals of any naton,'' said Mrs Jackson in closing.
