Later she settled at Heywood, and was married to Mr; Jackson, She then resided at Skene with her husband for a num ber of years, later going to her late residence at Stoe Park, South Ham ilton, where she resided up to the time of her death. Her husband predeceased her three years ago. Mrs. Jackson leaves four sons and four daughters. Three sons pre deceased her, one being killed in the great war. She, also leaves three brothers and four sisters, thirty-two grand children and seven great great grahnd children to mourn their loss.
