WROTE His OWN EPITAPH
Jackson Asks Silence From Those Who Do
Not Approve Of II
speclal 10 the Evening Journal

Dover. March l4.-Poople who saw
Alexander Jackson. the digniiied Cam
den philanthropist, walking slowly
down the streets yesterday did not
know that he had come to Dover TO
visit The marble yard u. i. IS, MuQl'eS
and approve his own epiiGpl inscribed
TO his order on his own monument, and
even written by himself. But that was
really the object of Mr. Jackson's visit.
IL has been nearly two years since
Mr.. Jackson. reputed to be worth $780,
600 and one OF the shrewdest business
men Delaware ever produced, began to
distribute his wealth during his life
time that he might see how it was di-
vided and save court costs and law
suits One by one he set nephews up
in business. handed handsome sums
over TO nieces. remembered neighbors,
,and even presented a hackman
with n pair of dashlng horses and a
NEW omnibus.
Later Mr.. Jacksons benehcence
having become known, he ceased to
transfer his property and means eX-
cent where no court or newspaper
could publish it to the world and has
been since then quietly and secretly
ldIsposing Of his savings and invest
monts OF lifetime
Some time ago. however, II became
known that Mr. Jackson had ordered
for himself and Wife. who is also liv-
ine. costly grave to be Theoretically
sealed after their death. Unknown to
even his closest friend Mr. Jackson
came 10 Dover several weeks ago and
placed an order with A. b. Moore for a
monument i'm three pieces. weighing
| five tons and similar i'm size and shape
! to the magnificent shaft over the re
mains of A. b. Richardson. in Lakeside
Cemetery. Under his direction the fol-
lowing epitaph of 652 letters in all
carved upon it, was yesterday ap-
proved by him:
ALEXANDER JACKSON.
Born March 3. 1927.
Man coming to this life a sensitive or
ganization. is actuated by his many
environments: these, while he re-
J mains here. will multiply inten-
sify and fetter him with unavoid-
able troubles and cares which,
when he arrives at this place. will
no doubt be ended but his mortal
part Ga misnOme) will survive the
grave for a new departure and be
relegated by the dominant ener-
ges of nature to other economic
uses: thus adding another link to
the chain of events running down
the tide of time without end. To
have the courage to express ones
conscious convictions. regardless
of the popular. but utenable credu-
lities eXtant, is to be true to ones
self. an effortat true righteousness.
ANY friend. or others. passing this way,
not i'm harmony herewith, will
please do this sacred spot the char
ity of their silence
Mr.. Jackson has never consented to
affiliate himself with any church OF
creed. although to oblige some of his
nearest friends and neighbors. he has
several times. attended meeting at the
Friends Westinghouse, Camden.
