Mrs. Sarah A. Slade Died Saturday Night1916
Mrs. Sarah A. Slade, widow of the late Albert(sic)Slade, who died twelve years ago last November, died Saturday evening at the home of Mrs. Albert Oswalt on the Milton pike. Death was due to chronic Bright's disease. Mrs. Slade has not enjoyed good health for several years, although her last illness dates back to Tuesday last week. On account of her extreme age little hope was held out for her since then. The deceased was born November 20, 1836, and at the time of her death she was 79 years, 5 months and 23 days of age. Four children survive her.

Thomas M. Jackman was born in Russell County, Ky., near Creelsborough, September 13, 1826, and is the son of Alexander and Polly (Jones) Jackman, and grandson of William Jackman, who served in the Revolutionary War, and was guard over the Hessian prisoners a portion of the time. He was the son of Richard Jackman, who came from England and put up the first iron works in Fauquier County, Va., but was stopped by the governor of that colony through the house of Lords in England. He then engaged in farming, and his descendants have carried out the same principles. William Jackman was a native of Fauquier County, Va., and was among the first settlers of Russell County, Ky. The mother of our subject, Polly (Jones) Jackman, was a daughter of Allen Lydia (Baxter) Jones. Thomas M. Jackman is one of seven sons and three daughters who grew to manhood. He followed farming, and about 1869 removed to Bushman County, where he spent about twelve years engaged in the same pursuit. In 1881 he came to Newton County, and located on his present farm. He was married in Russell County, Ky., to Jane Warner, who was a native of that county, and the daughter of James and Polly (Stepp) Warner, whose ancesters served in the war of the Revolution.
