Brock Road
James Jackson, an aged and highly respected resident of this locality, died at his residence
on Tuesday morning, aged 84 years. Deceased came to Canada from Antrim Co., Ireland,
about fifty years ago, and most of his life since then has been spent in this locality, where he
conducted a blacksmithing business. He ceased hard work about 18 years ago, and, although
crippled some by rheumatism, was an active man for his years. He leaves a widow and grown
up family of eight children. Mrs. Jackson is in poor health, and the death of her husband has
much added to her enfeebled condition. The funeral took place on Thursday afternoon, when
the remains were interred in the Christian cemetery, Brougham. The bereaved family have
much sympathy in their bereavement.
