The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1910-05-19

May 5, under orders from Gen. Lee, was
conveyed in an army ambulance to
Guiney's, or Guinea. His left arm was
amputated; the surgeons In attendance
looked for recovery, but on May pneu-
monia developed, and on Sunday, May
~, this brilliant soldier died, surrounded
by his wife and many Of his military
family.
The spot where Jackson fell was at
first marked by a large native boulder.
Later monument was constructed near
this boulder, and these two silent mark
ers of an epoch in the sOuth's history
stand by the side of a road over winch
man rarely travels now, and in the
midst of tall, dark pines-all this in the
eastern edge Of the wilderness and miles
from a human habitation.
The house at Guinea is occupied by j.
w. King and family. Mr.. King is an
Illinois farmer, having moved to Guinea
from a point near Monmouth, ILL.,, about
four years ago. In the account of Jack
sons death, written by his chief surgeon,
DR.. Hunter Mcclure, the house at
Guinea is referred to as the Chandler
house," but Mrs. Belle r. Dabney, ~
years old, and who has lived at Guinea
for so years, told your correspondent that
when Jackson died the place was owned
by DIR. Edgar McKenney, and was called
Fairfield. The house in which jackson
died is a small frame containing four
small rooms downstairs and two
up. Near this is the ruin of big
brick house. Mr.. Dabney and Mr.. King
said that the brick house was the dwell
ling of DIR. McKenney and the frame
building was his office.
Around the little frame house and the
ruined brick is grove of hoary locust
trees-the same trees which stood there
when Jackson's soul took flight.
The King farm, consisting of 156 acres
is in corn. The four acres around the
house will be beautiied as a park an(
the house maintained as a hallowed relic
