Gracefully approaching the CEN
fury mark, Mrs. Louise jackson, who
lives at 10 Per.lam street. observed
her Doth birthday, Saturday. The
day was busy one for Mrs. Jackson,
who received calls from many of her
friends and who enjoyed the birthday
membranes which came to her. 1t
may tralthfully be said of Mrs. Jack
son, that she is gracefully bearing
her years. She says. I suppose that
/ am awfully smart" but the way in
which she says it, does not indicate
that she herself feels that she is any
more remarkable than anyone else.
When visited in her coy home,
Saturday afternoon, Mrs. Jackson
lolscd just like everybody's grand
mother and to all who know her she
seems such. Silky white curls adorn
her head and they try to plague her
when they pinch the curls and say
they are going to cut them off. A
lacy collar with a touch Of lavender
and a lavender bordered>kerchief in,
her hand. added to the attractive pic
tire, as she sat in her home Satur-
ay and received her friends and
relatives.
Yes, she is a remarkable woman in
many ways. A little grand niece
brought Mrs. Jackson a most appro-
pirate birthday card. It was
birthday remembrance to grand
mother. The ,>timent was a very
pretty one and Grandma Jackson
nodded her head in approval as the
little girl read it. The verse referred
to the goodness of grandmother. II
hope I may continue to grow good"
said Grandma Jackson, now 90 years
of age.
She is coming to the century mark,
living with her children, surrounded
by all the comforts that even her
fancy might desire, fed and cared for
by loving hands and enjoying all the
comforts of home, such as should
be the reward of a loving, laboring
mother.
Until her-eyesight became poorly,
Mrs. Jackson found keenest delight
in her books and the newspapers.
But she does not lose her interest in
the things that are going on about
her. She demonstrates her. interest
by keeping in with the topics of the
home and keeping informed upon the
news which is talked over in the
family circle.
There are times when Mrs. Jackson
sings a great deal and she remem-
bers to a wonderful degree the songs /!
of long ago, the good old gospel songs
and melodies which have gone with
her, through the years. She delights
in singing, liking to do it for her
family and company.
January il, 1893, Louise Ross was
born in Sidney. the daughter of Hugh
and Abigail Sawtelle Ross. being the
fifth of a family of nine children.
Her family moved to New Hampshire
when she was very young and they
lived there until 1886. Louise Ross
became the bride of Adoniram jack
son. Dec. 2, 1917. Mr.. Jackson
passed away. May 5. 1881. She has
children. grandchildren and great
Der of the Universalist church for
many years. Her interest was es-
pecially strong in the Sunday school
Incidents which have gone down in
the history of the country. Mrs.
Jackson can recall to mind, the first
stirring days of the Civil War and
the dark days which followed. all are
within her time.
