Little Cecil Clifton Jackson

Little Cecil Clifton Jackson, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Dave Jackson was born February 10, 1914 and passed peacefully away Sept. 13, 1916. There are five devoted brothers, and three affectionate sisters with a loving father and mother and other relatives bereaved. The bitter tears, the sad expressions of grief, the mournful sighs, the long procession of friends following to the cemetery all faintly expressed the heart sorrow that was being experienced. He was quiet and self sacrificing for a child. Little Cecil was always devoted to the father and mother sisters and brothers and was loved by all who knew him.

Saturday morning, Mrs. Charley Jones, who, for some time has been in very poor health, grew despondent and swallowed almost a cup of concentrated lye in the attempt to end her life.
