Obituary- Jackson, Martha

ONE OF OLDEST KANSANS
DIES AT AGE OF 108
A 108 year old Potawatomi Indian woman, one of the oldest native born Kansans, died Sunday southwest of Holton.

Mrs. Martha L. Jackson, who died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Joe Aitkens, was born near Holton eight years before the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act opened the state to settlement.

Relatives said she was able to perform household duties until a fall made her bedfast last winter. She was a member of the Our Lady of Snow parish west of Mayetta.

Surviving are two other daughters, Mrs. Eunice Mulonax of Delia, Mrs. Elizabeth Mulonax of Chicago; six sons, Joseph and Ernest of Mayetta; Oliver, Abraham and Alfred of Topeka, and Sylvester of Colorado; 42 grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren.
