His wife, Sarah JACKSON, nee HENDRICK, was born in 1830, and now of Bowling Green, Ky., is a native of Warren County, that State, and daughter of John R. HENDRICK (deceased), who was a Cumberland Presbyterian clergyman. Dr. JACKSON is the second of a family of five children, four of whom are living. He received his rudimental education at Bristow, Ky., his native home. He after studied the higher branches at Bowling Green, and when but a youth apprenticed himself to an uncle, Dr. J. F. HENDRICK, an eminently successful dentist of Bowling Green, Ky., and under his tuition gained a thorough and practical mastery of the dental profession. September 29, 1878, Dr. JACKSON married Miss Ida A. GRACEY, born September 27, 1861, in Macoupin County, Ill., daughter of W. C. and Sarah J. (McGAHEY) GRACEY. Her father is a well-known farmer of Pleasant Prairie, Bond County. In November, 1880, the Doctor permanently located in Greenville, where he has built up a lucrative and steadily increasing practice.
