Mr. Jackson, aged 37, died at a tourist camp in York, Nebr., about 8 o’clock Tuesday evening of last week as a result of being struck on the head by a large limb blown from a tree during a windstorm which struck York that evening. Mr. Jackson and family were on their way back to Ellston from Boise, Idaho, where they had spent the past few months, Mrs. Jackson being a daughter of Mrs. Robert Graham, formerly of this vicinity but now residing at Boise. They had registered at a tourist camp in York, had been assigned a cabin and Mr. Jackson and his ten-year-old son were returning to camp from a nearby store when the storm broke. A limb measuring about eight inches in diameter was torn from a large cottonwood and blown onto the two pedestrians, striking Jackson on the forehead and in the face. He was rendered unconscious and died before medical aid could reach him. The tree from which the limb was broken reaches an altitude of some fifty feet and the limb was broken from the trunk at the height of about twenty-five feet above the street, causing a great deal of momentum to be gained before reaching the spot where the Jackson’s were passing at the time of the tragedy. The boy was only slightly injured. Mr. Jackson is survived by his wife and a son and daughter, Dexter, 10, and Nadine, 8. Horace L. Jackson, eldest son of G. M. Jackson and wife, was born Nov. 3, 1890, near Kellerton and died at York, Nebr., Sept. 11, 1928, aged 37 years, 10 months and 8 days. He lived with his parents on the farm south of Ellston until the year 1909 when he moved with them to Boone where he was employed by the C. & N. W. railroad company for four years, after which they returned to the farm near Ellston where he resided with the exception of one year in Idaho, until the spring of 1916. On Nov. 22, 1916, he was united in marriage with Cecyl Graham of Blockton and they lived near Ellston till the spring of 1928. To this union were born two children, Drexel and Nadine. In March 1928 they left Ellston for Boise, Idaho, for an extended visit with her parents and other relatives. In August 1928, they started for Iowa and Sept. 11 Mr. Jackson met a tragic end at the tourist camp in York, Nebr. In 1903 he united with the High Point M. E. church, later transferring his membership to the Ellston M. E. church of which he has been a member ever since.
