T. B. JACKSON IS CALLED BY DEATH.
Pioneer State Official and Lifelong Mason Dies At Family Home.
With the passing yesterday morning of Thomas B.

Death occurred at 5 o’clock and ended a long period of suffering for he had been an invalid for the past 15 years. He was 88 years old.
He, a few years back, was one of the leading men in the state affairs, for several months he was acting governor, when Governor Chadwick was absent from the state during his administration. Prior to this time he was assistant secretary of the state under Governor Glover and when that governor became United States senator he became secretary of state. He was employed by the government as an accountant in the Grand Ronde district. At one time he was in charge of the commissary at the state penitentiary when Asahel Bush was superintendent of that institution. He was a first cousin of "Stonewall" Jackson, and he and the famous general "grew up together", attending the same school.

He also took a very active part in the Masonic circles in the state in the pioneer days. He was warden of Bethel lodge in 1856. In 1865 he assisted in making George P. Litchfield a Mason in the Amity lodge. After coming to Salem he became affiliated with Salem lodge No. 4.
The deceased was born March 2, 1831, at Leesburg, Va. He attended the college in that city until he was about 20 years old when he came west, settling in Oregon. He lived first in Portland and then in Yamhill before coming to Salem in the early 60’s where he has lived since. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Hattie M.
