While plowing in his field near the house last Thursday between 1 and 2 o'clock, Mogul Jackson, living near Buford, dropped dead of heart failure. The body was buried in the Fairview Cemetery Friday afternoon by E.M. Tate Masonic Lodge, of which he was Master, assisted by E.J. Loop, M. Tanksley and Will Clogston of Cotter lodge, and W.C. Sims of Cotter Odd Fellows Lodge. Jackson was both a Mason and Odd Fellow.
After dinner Thursday Mr. Jackson hitched his team to the plow and was working in the field close to the house. He had been out but a short time when the family noticed the team coming to the house dragging the plow with no driver. At the same time a near neighbor came running to the house and told the family that Mr. Jackson was lying in the field. He was less tan 300 yards from the house, and when reached was dead. County Judge Walker was notified and being near made an examination and said it was evident that death was the result of heart disease and that an inquest was not necessary.
Mr. Jackson was 62 years old and had lived in the county 48 years, 30 years of that time on the farm where he died. He was Methodist preacher and was well known throughout the country.
The surviving member of the family are; Mrs. Nettie Jackson, the widow; six grown sons living, Zeb, Alvin, Hughes, Peirce, Dee, living in the county, and Sam living in Texas. There are two daughters, Mrs. James Buchanan of Cotter and Miss Dora living at home.
