The review. [volume] (High Point, N.C.) 1908-19??, 1915-04-01

The immediate cause of Mrs. Jack
sons death was pneumonia which was
contracted three days before. It was
the result of a cold contracted 10 days
ago while she was seated on the front
piazza of her home. Heart trouble,
aggravated by age and attendant in
frmities, were contributing and fun
damenta1 factors. This trouble had
been occasioning her physicians I'M
easiness for several years but it did
not assume a serious form until about
eight months ago. Last August she
had an acute attack at Walters Park,
Pa, near Philadelphia, and was taken
to a hospital in the latter city for
treatment. When she recovered sufi-
GENTLY she was brought home but she
never regained her full strength al
though she undertook to attend to her
domestic and other duties until last
fall when her health again failed.
More than once since the incipiency
of her illness she had suffered at
tacks which had caused her life to be
despaired of, but each time she had
been able to rally her resources.
Her death was very easy-simply
ga sleep and a forgetting.' She re-
NAMED conscious until the afternoon
before her death. In her last con-
scious moments her thoughts were of
others. At her bedside when the final
moment came were Mr.. and Mrs. e.
r. Preston, the latter a granddaugh-
ter of Mrs. Jackson, Mrs. Laura Nor
rison Brown, sister of Mrs. Jackson,
Rev. D. H. Rolston, DID,, pastor of the
irst Presbyterian church, and the
family physician, DR.. William A. Ora
ham, a kinsman of the distinguished
patient.
is a shock to the entire South, which
has cherished with sincere ardor the
helpmeet of him who in his lifetime
was the powerful right arm of the
embattled Southern nation and the
idol of his soldiery. Throughout the
decades that have elapsed since the
close of the great civil conflict. Mrs.
Jackson has held unchallenged the po-
sition of primacy in the affections of
this people.
Jackson, when told by his wife that,
before the day was over he would b, :
with the blessed Saviour in His glory"
said, 81 will be an infinite gamer to
be translated" So with the wife of
the soldier and saint, from whom he
was torn by the tragedy of war on
that bright Sabbath morning of May
10, 1863-she is IAN infinite gamer to
be translated"
Mrs. Jackson passed to rest and her
infinite reward with the halo of a ma
tons love and reverence around her
bed The South bends over her with
hearts ladened with grief and eyes
filled with tears-tears such as she
has not shed since Jackson and Lee
were laid to rest in the little town in
their loved state, immortalized as
their last resting place.

Lexington, Va, and there laid to rest
by the side of her i1lustrious husband. |
