Edward Elmore JACKSON
(19 Sep 1871 - 26 Mar 1932)
Edward was the owner of the elite Glenwood Cafe and later became a real estate broker and a power in local politics. Ed Jackson was an avid reader of Sir Walter Scott and William Shakespeare whose plays he could recite at length. He made and spent a fortune, much of it traveling throughout the United States with his family to famous places by drawing-room rail cars.
Ed loved to travel but by 1928, when he and family took a trip to California, he was having trouble since he was on crutches, having had his left leg amputated because of vascular disease. The Jackson family home at 1217 East Spring Street in New Albany was a beautiful Victorian house built in 1884. Ed died of a heart attack at his home in 1932 and is buried in the Jackson family plot in Fairview Cemetery, New Albany, Indiana.
