Jackman, Pioneer, Died This Morning Came to Palo Alto in 1856 Helped to Suppress Indian Massacre at Spirit Lake P. R. Jackman died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Paul Schaney, at 6:30 this morning, at the age of 91. Old age is the only cause that can be given for his death. For the past year he has gradually failed and was confined to his bed most of the time. But his attending physician could find no physical defects of any kind except for the inevitable toll of time. Mr. Jackman was born in Kilkenny, Ireland in March 1836. His parents died when he was eight years of age. With his two brothers and one sister he came to America at the age of 14, and lived near Elgin, Ill. until 1856, at which time he came to Palo Alto county, and settled on a farm in the first log house in this county. (Which historic monument is in Harrison Park at present, in a preserved state). He lived on the same farm for 62 years, and was active in its operation until he came to live with his daughter, Mrs. Paul Schaney, ten years ago. He was married in September, 1868, to Margaret Brennan, at Boone, Iowa. Fourteen children were born to them, nine of whom are living: Joe, Patrick Charles, Mrs. Paul Schaney, Mrs. Pat Conlon, Mrs. Robert Laughlin and Francis, all of Emmetsburg, Mrs. Bid Kane, of Onawa, Mrs. T. J. Kirby, of Sioux City, and Alice, of Woodstock, Minn. All of them were in Emmetsburg when their father passed away. Mr. Jackman was a volunteer soldier in the forces who suppressed the Indians at the time of the Spirit Lake massacre. He acted as one of the guards on the frontier, from Chain Lakes, Minn., to Sioux City, at a time when the redskins hovered menacingly over the lives of the white settlers. We must leave to the pioneers of our county the matter of describing Mr. Jackman's career. Only those who shared the early hardships with him can do justice to such an exceptional character. Only those who witnessed his brave, unflinching fight against pioneer sufferings could realize what an upbuilding force he was in the life of our county. The bitter cold of prairie winters, the hovering savage, the crop plagues - all left his spirit undaunted, in his triumphant march in the name of civilization. As part of the present generation which is following in the paths smoothed and bedded for us by the like of Mr. Jackman, we can only stand by in admiration, and wonder at such a sturdy character. A stalwart example of self-sacrifice, of love, of faith in his God, he is indeed an object worthy of imitation. He has passed on to a well-earned reward. Regardless of age, a father is a potential force to his family. Though his death was expected and though the ravages of time had incapacitated him, his surviving children must keenly feel his departure. The fact that he lived to such a ripe old age just adds to many more lovable memories which they must not forget. To them we offer sympathy.
