Susan Pavey Jackson, youngest child and four daughter of John and Alchey Wykoff Pavaey, was born Jan 7, 1877 in Fulton Township, Fountain County, Indiana. She received a common school education at No. 10 school as was usual for children of that era. On March 14, 1896 she was united in marriage to James A. Jackson by the Rev. Albert Rairden at Harveysburg, Ind and they lived just over in Fountain County until they bought the present home in Parke County where they have resided for 42 years. During a revival meeting at Old Oak Chapel Church she confessed Christ as her Savior under the pastorate of Rev. JM McHargue. She was ever ready to aid her friends and neighbors and in sickness was ever helping any way possible. Although she was of rugged stature, two years ago last December she was taken ill and ever medical profession was called in she gradually grew worse until on April 13 of this year she was taken to Lakeview Hospital, Danville, Ill where she could be continually under trained care but all was to no avail for with the closing of the day of June 25th, 1944, the little thread of life was broken and she went home to rest at the age of 7 years, 6 months and 11 days, leaving to mourn the husband, two sons, Jesse Raymond of Kingman and Robert Harold of Rangier, four grandchildren, Mrs. Merle Wilkey, Pfc. Mervin Jackson, somewhere in France, Marjory Jackson, nurse in Cook County Hospital, Chicago and Morris Jackson, a foster grandson, Eugene Pugh, one great grandchild, the daughter of William and Merle Wilkey and one sister, Mrs. Lucy Cruthers of Clinton, who was too ill to be present and many nieces and nephews. Her parents and 8 brothers and sisters preceded her in death namely, Ervin, Anderson, Allen, George, Sarah, Lilly, Barton and a baby brother. I know of no poetry that can describe her life better than these few words: Life's race well run ... Life's work well done ... Life's crown well won … now comes the rest! – kbz
