Mrs. Lester Jackson Dies In Los Angeles

(From Wednesday's Daily)

Relatives and friends in Prescott of Mrs. Lester Jackson were
shocked yesterday, when as telegram was received from her husband at
Los Angeles announcing her death as occurring on Monday night. The
day before letters had been received from Mr. Jackson stating that
her condition was regarded as favorable by attending physicians and
it was believed her recovery would follow.

Her affliction was a tumor, and she had been in poor health for over
one year. She was taken to the above city last month to receive
special treatment, and not improving it was deemed advisable last
week to resort to surgery after hope had been abandoned to save her
otherwise.

The deceased was well known in this city and county, arriving in
Prescott as long ago as 1858. She was of kindly heart and generous
nature, assisting many during the perilous days, of long ago. She
comes from a well known San Francisco family of the '50's, and
surviving are a brother and sister, in that city.

The remains will arrive in Prescott tomorrow, and burial will be
given by the side of other relatives in the Citizens' cemetery,
probably Lester Ruffner conducting the funeral.
