Charles Jackson - Madison Parish, Louisiana 

From Tallulah Madison Journal, June 14, 1963

Charles Jackson Rites Were Held Here Yesterday

Charles Jackson, who died of a gunshot wound early Wednesday morning at his home about 12 miles south 
of Tallulah, was buried here yesterday in the Garden of Memories Cemetery. Funeral Services were held 
preceding the burial at Montrose Baptist Church.

Mrs. Earline Jackson, his wife, reported that he arose some time after four o'clock Wednesday morning, 
picked up a gun and said he was going to kill some mocking birds in a Chinaberry tree as they had been 
disturbing him. When he did not come back into the house after making a shot, Mrs. Jackson said she went 
out to see about him, and found that he had been shot himself.

Mr. Jackson was engaged in farming, owning his own place.

Besides his wife he is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Faye Frazier and three sons, Andrew Jackson, now 
in the U. S. Army, and Robert and Lloyd, both of Tallulah.
