One of Norfolk's best known businessmen, J. B. Jackson, 
commission merchant, was called with startling suddenness 
last evening. He was in attendance at a business meeting 
of the Session of St. Paul's Church, and as he was speaking 
death came to him in an instant.

John Bartholomew Jackson was born in Simcoe a little less 
than sixty-five years ago. He was the second [sic], and last to 
survive, of the sons of Mr. John Jackson, the senior partner 
in the pioneer furniture manufacturing firm of this district. 
He was educated in the Simcoe schools, and spent most of 
his life here. He became one of Canada's biggest shippers 
of eggs, and at the time of his death was head of a company 
that handles a generous portion of the district's produce.

Mr. Jackson was married twice. By his first wife, who was Mary, eldest daughter of the late Sheriff Joseph Jackson, there survive
him three sons: Major W. G. Jackson, Dr. Alan B. Jackson, and 
Mr. Harold M. Jackson. By the second marriage, wits [sic] 
Miss Bruce of Toronto, who survives him, there is a daughter, 
Miss Mary Bruce Jackson.

The funeral will be on Saturday afternoon to Oakwood Cemetery, from his late residence, Union Street.
