JAShMAN.-Ou the ON lust., at QlS
home on Third street, Miffiintown,
after long mental and physical ILL.,
ness, aged 63 years, month and l5
days. Interment in the Presbyterian
cemetery at MiffiintOwn. Mr.. Jack
man was man of kind heart and ten
der sympathy. Years ago after he
| came from trip of the Southern States
before the days of rebellion, he related
to the writer of these lines how his SYM
pathy was aroused in seeing men,
women and children sold from the auc-
ton block as horses and cattle are sold
in the northern states to the highest
and best bidder. He said his heart
and mind was in revolt against a sys-
tenn of government that so systemati-
call y practiced such outrages upon hu-
man rights. Once we met him at New
port with Captain B. +. Miller. The
Captain said: "Jackman's father was a
father to me when was most in need
of a father" "Yesv' answered Jack
man ''and you Captain wee tue
guardian to me when | most needed a
Perry county on the banks of the broad
but shallow Susquehanna river and he
a number of times mentioned in our
hearing how he had been told tina; his
grand mother who lived at Fort Hunt
er was SO skillful in policing skif that
she did not consider it much of an
achievement to pole boat across the
Big River to the western shore which
then was Indian territory. His father
was James Jackman, native of Eng
land, an early settler in Liverpool
where he engaged in Merchantile pur-
suits. His mother was Eliza Louisa
Mitchell of Millersburg, Dauphin coun-
| ty, Pa. Both his parents died when he
was about nine years old. He was ed
ucated in the public and private
schools and the Bloomfield Academy,
Perry county, and learned printing dur
ing an apprenticeship of four years
1851, '52, '53 and "a with Hon. John
A. Magee then as now editor and pro-
prietOr of the Perry County Democrat.
After that he taught school and worked
at printing and when the war of the
rebellion was inaugurated he became a
soldier against dis-union and slavery in
Company A. First Regiment Pennsyl-
vania Reserve Cavalry and served to
the end of his term of enlistment, a
period of three years. He then came
to Mifiintown and purchased the Jun
iata True Democrat from his brother-in-
law DIR. E. Darwin Crawford and later
formed consolidation with the Demo-
crat and Register. Upon the death of
Mr.. Bonsall, he became the sole owner
of the Democrat and Register and con-
Quoted it with ability up to the time
when disease laid its blighting hand
ppon hin. His daughters the Misses
Gertrude and Louisa Jackman con-
Quoted the paper during the long ill
ness of their father Mrs. Jackman his
wife and four daughters survive him.
