Death of Barnabas Jackson
The death of Barney Jackson, as he was familiarly
called, in Eaton, last Thursday, was a surprise to a host of citizens who
knew him well, because they had not learned of his sudden illness. His
wide circle of acquaintance and his activity in business affairs thus brought
to a sudden termination, will occasion deep regret among many who were
not connected with him by family ties. The following brief reference to
his life and character has been furnished us:
Barnabas Jackson was born March 24th,1818, in the
town of Monson, State of Maine, and died August 8th, 1889, aged 71 years,
4 months, and 15 days. He was the seventh son of Joseph and Susannah
Jackson, of a family of thirteen children, only two of whom survive him;
a brother and a sister. When 18 years of age, he with his father’s family,
enduring all the hardships of that early day, moved by wagon to Liverpool,
Ohio, and he remained there 17 years. At the age of 28 his father died,
leaving upon him the responsibility of caring for his mother and younger
brother. In the winter of 1849 he was married to Martha Farnam, of
Portage County,O. In the spring of 1853, he, with his wife and mother,
moved to North Eaton,O., their present home, having lived there 36 years.
He leaves a wife and seven children, five boys and two girls. Barnabas
Jackson was a very active man and of sterling integrity. He had an unyielding
will power, and always had a way of getting out of difficulty. There was
no such thing as fail with him. He was kind and generous; a free giver
to all good enterprises. During the war he was especially active, and gave
his time and means whenever it was needed. He was always looked upon as
a good counselor and advisor. He was a loving husband and a kind father,
and his loss will be felt for many days. The family circle is for the first
time broken.
The funeral was very largely attended and perhaps
was the largest country funeral ever seen in this neighborhood. The services
were conducted by Rev. W.B. Olmstead, and were short, simple, and impressive.
The text used was psalm 89:18. The singing was especially good and appropriate.
