Jackson - John Wayne
John Wayne Jackson
Source: The obituary is from a collection by Fauniel Hershberger, saved the 1950's, 60's and 70's. She was a life long resident of Fountain County Indiana. The collection is now housed at Crawfordsville District Public Library. (Note: Probably the Danville, Illinois Commercial News - they almost always use the Ind or Ill to distinguish for their readers and almost always add the date but not sure of an index anywhere to check)
