James \. Jackson was born in Pitts
ton. Sept. l.. 1882. and was one of two
sons of Capt. Abner NJ. and Lydia VI
Bailey jackson. When he was but q
child his parents moved to Farming
dale. and in that town was spent the
greater portion of his life. He re-
ceived common school education in
the schools of Gardiner and after com
plotting a course Of study at the Old
Gardiner lyceum, entered the drug
store Of the late Charles p Branch to
learn the business. Later he went to
Fall River, Mass. but after few
years returned to Farmingdale. ana en-
tered the employ Of the late Alvin 7.
Perkins, who then kept a drug store in
the building which stood on the spot
now occupied by the Swanton block, at
Gardiner
In company with the late Henry But
man he then bought out Mr.. Perkins,
and the firm of Butman & Jackson did
business there until Mr.. Butman sold
out to Henry Mansfield, when the firm
name was changed to j. A. Jackson &;
Go. Mr.. Mansfield afterward went to
Massachusetts,, where he died, and in
1856 Mr.. Jackson became sole pro-
prietor of the store. From that time
until April, 1898. he was in business on
"Jackson's corner" as the place grew
to be called. with the exception of the
time occupied by the construction of
the SwantOn block. when he removed
his stock to the store in Randolph now
occupied by Stephen J. Hegarty.
He was united in marriage. Jan. "a.
1867, with Lucy D., daughter of the
late Robert Thompson of Farmingdale,
the union resulting in the birth of
three sons. two of which, James X. and
Benz. w. with the widow. survive him.
The death of Mr.. Jackson removes
from Gardiner the last survivor of the
temporaries, l.. ID. Cooke. c. A. & j. d.
White. and DIR. A. f. Plimpton. estab-
lished and successfully maintained
their drug stores for years. and a no
ticeable characteristic in them all was
a strict attention to business. In fact
il is generally believed that il was
such close application to work without
permitting sufficient recreation that
materially shortened Mr.. Jackson s
life. Early and late he was always at
the store. and his cordial manner and
courteous treatment Of customers won
for him the generous patronage he en-
Joyed. Several years aGu owing to
failing health he was obliged to retire
from business life, and in April. 1898,
he sold the stand to c. II. Beane. the
present proprietor.
