• His obituary was published in the Rochester Sentinel on 13 February 1913 in Rochester, IN.
8 Charles Jackson, ex-trustee of Rochester township, and a highly respected Rochester citizen, died at his home on the corner of Jefferson and Ninth street, Wednesday night, after an illness of two years. Mr. Jackson would have been eighty-three years of age, Friday.
It had always been a matter of great pride to Mr. Jackson that for practically all his life, he was a very vigorous man, until two years ago, when he suffered a stroke of paralysis. Since that time he has been very nearly helpless. Death occurred Wednesday evening, after the stricken man had made a long and desperate fight to regain health.
Mr. Jackson was one of the oldest citizens of this city, who were responsible for the growth of Rochester during the twenty years following 1870. He was at that time and for many years afterwards, proprietor of a dry goods store. Later he was elected trustee of Rochester township, which office he held for four years. When A. E. Pendleton was elected trustee and resigned after six months service, Mr. Jackson served out the term.
Mr. Jackson was born Feb. 16, 1830, on a farm near Sandusky, Ohio. In March, 1870, he moved to Rochester. On December 29, 1853, Mr. Jackson was united in marriage with Katherine Ernsberger. To this union were born three children, Miss Alma Jackson, Mrs. Anna Hoffman and Frank Jackson, of Portland, Oregon.
Mr. Jackson was the second oldest member of the I.O.O.F. lodge. He was also a member of the Methodist church. The funeral arrangements have not yet been made.
