Notes for: John P JACKSON

John taught elementary School for a time. They pioneered in Nardin, Oklahoma for 12 years. About 1901-2, they moved to Bartlesville, Oklahoma where John struck oil. Possibly very wealthy, but drank heavily. In later years, his two partners supposedly swindled all the money from their oil ventures. They lived in Bartlesville for 21 years. Moved to Independence, Kansas, then to Long Beach, California. They came back to Independence to stay with Stella's married daughter. Here Julanie died. John moved back to Long Beach where his sister lived. He lived for 7 more years before dying, apparently in poverty as his relations paid for his funeral.
