| 6699 |  | Obituary- Jackson, Robert 1 d.1894 Robert Jackson, son of William and Margaret Jackson, of Coulter Mill farm, Lanarkshire, Scotland, was born August 25th, A.D. laid, and died at his home in Shawnee Co., Kas., January 24th, 1894, at 5 o’clock P.M., aged 80 years and 5 months. He was the third of a family of eleven. This family is noted for the longevity of the members, seven of whom have lived to reach the octogenarian mark. He married the eldest daughter of John Stewart. Their union was blessed as husband and wife by a family of eleven children, nine of whom survive their father. This aged couple celebrated the golden anniversary of their union on the 16th day of December, 1892, in which all the family were permitted to participate. They left their native land for American in 1851, and dwelt in Canada 20 years. They came to Kansas in 1871, where they have since resided. Mr. Jackson confessed his faith in Christ at the age of 18, uniting with the Presbyterian church, of which he remained a faithful member till the hour of departure for the silent land. He never entertained a doubt as to the saving grace of God. He was satisfied with the regenerating and purifying power of the blood of Jesus. God’s promises were sweet, consoling and precious to him in all the dark and trying hours of life. As the weight of years increased he realized more fully the vanity of the things of time and sense and the importance and satisfaction of a closer walk with God. With increasing infirmities, communion with Christ contained more of richness, while the magnificence of his Palace in that God-built City, became more realistic. The anticipated happiness of heavenly society gilded the overhanging clouds of death with brightness that chased away the sadness of the tearful goodbyes of earth’s loved ones. The melody of music floating earthward from the heavenly choir only increased his desire to join their number. Oh, the joy of faith becoming sight! Groping no more in blindness. All doubts removed. Added physical infirmities only increased his spiritual strength and firmness, and when the bold waters of death were splashing against the weather beaten bark he evinced a readiness to go. His trust was in the Savior, who said: “I am the resurrection and the life.” He was a kind and considerate father, a loving husband, and an obliging neighbor. His loss will be keenly felt. But our loss is his gain. He exchanged sorrows for joys, perplexing trials for heavenly rest and quiet, the society of love ones for the society of the angeled host, and the rough pathway of life for the [illegible] Elysium. He ceased to drink longer of the fountain of earthly joys, to take from the King’s hand the golden cup overflowing with eternal joys. His ripe, rich experience gained in life has been called to larger fields of usefulness. The funeral occurred from the home of deceased on Friday, Jan. 26th, at 1 o’clock p.m. The writer, who was called upon to officiate, spoke from the theme of the “Benefits of death to a Christian.” A large concourse of loving friends assembled to pay their last tribute of respect to their dear departed, and the family in their sorrow have their sympathy. We [recommend] them to the rich consolation which the word of God contains, and to His all sufficient grace in this their hour of deep bereavement. May we all be faithful to His son Jesus Christ.
