The Rev. C. E. Farrelly, pastor, officiated and paid high tribute to a pioneer whose contribution to the communities in which he lived and St. Thomas church were great. The many friends at the rites were also evidence of the high esteem in which Mr. Jackman was held throughout the county as well as in Emmetsburg. Active pallbeareres were Bert Ryan, Charles Papadakes, Charles J. Spies, Joe Flynn, Lawrence D. Brennan, R.C. Gordon, C.E. Randa, Frank Hood and Herman Leduc.

Burial was in St.John's cemetery with the Martin Funeral home in charge. This community was shocked and saddened by the news of the sudden death of Mr. Jackman. It was not generally known that he had been ill, and although ailing the last couple of weeks, he had been up and about in the business district preceding Wednesday. That evening he suffered a relapse,and continued to fail, the end coming peacefully at 11:15 Sunday morning at his home, surrounded by his pastor and the members of his immediate family. His death breaks another of the links with the generation of early pioneers who settled and developed Palo Alto county, his parents being among the original settlers in the Irish colony of Emmetsburg. He was born in a log cabin in Walnut township, located on the family farm on the banks of the Des Moines river. This is the log cabin now standing in Harrision Park in Emmetsburg. Patrick Charles Jackman was the son of the late Patrick R. and Margaret Brennan Jackman, and was born February 12, 1871, one of fourteen children. During his early manhood he worked on the family farm,later purchasing a farm east of Graettinger, where he farmed for many years. In 1904 he married Miss Abbie Carney,and to this union one son, Emmett C. Jackman of Madelia, Minn., was born. Mrs. Abbie Jackman died in 1906. Subsequently, Mr. Jackman moved to Emmetsburg, where he entered into a partnership with Peter E. Jones, devoting the major share of his interest to the livestock business. Since the dissolution of that partnership, he has devoted himself to caring for his farm and banking interests. On Dec. 25, 1915, he married Mrs. Sadie White Fay, who survives. Also surviving are the son, Emmett C. Jackman; three sisters, Mrs. Robert Laughlin of Mason City; Mrs. Bridget Kane of Cherokee, and Miss Alice Jackman of Jasper, Minn.,and one brother, Francis Jackman of this city. A step-son, James W. Fay, local attorney, also survives. Mr. Jackman had many and varied interests. Always keenly interested in agriculture, he was one of the organizers of the Farmers Co-operative Creamery in Graettinger. He was associated with the late J. A. Spies in the organization of the Bank of Graettinger, and seved as a director for many years. Continuing his interest in the banking business, he again collaborated with Mr. Spies in the formation of the Iowa Trust and Savings Bank of Emmetsburg, and served as a member of the board of directors until the time of his death. A devout member of the Catholic church, he served for over 30 years as a trustee of St. Thomas Church, and for many years as trustee of the Thomas H. Tobin estate. He was a charter member of the Knights of Columbus, joining the Order more than 50 years ago, serving at one time as grand knight. In the death of "Paddy" Jackman, one of its familiar and beloved figures is taken from the life of Emmetsburg. To know him was to admire him for his may outstanding qualities of mind and heart. He enjoyed life, he liked people, young and old, and they liked him. His cheery smile and ready Irish wit made his presence welcome in any group. He was one of the most charitable of men, both in word and deed. Countless acts of helpfulness and aid, throughout the years, were by him given to the less fortunate, yet done so quietly that few knew of it. Although financially successful himself, he cared not for artificial living, but was supremely happy in his own home surrounded by his family and friends. His judgment in business matters were sound and his integrity unquestioned. His word his bond. He was rated as an exceptionally astute judge of livestock, and to the last retained his physical and mental vigor and was in close contact with his business interests. With all the changes he had seen in his 82 years of life, he still remained keenly interested and progressive. He had mastered the art of growing old gracefully. He died, as he would have liked, quietly and without burden to anyone. He was one of pioneers who uncomplainingly endured the countless hardships that life might be carved out for later generations.
