JOHN JACKSON, M.D.
DIED JANY. 2D. 1807. AGED 29.
READER, blame not a Father for recording the death of a Son
in the words of the public papers of the day, as follows:
'We are sorry to announce the death of our Countryman Dr. Jackson at Verdun,
in France, where he was a prisoner of war.
The following short tribute to his memory we extract from a Paris paper of the 21st of January.
"Dr. Jackson the English Physician died here on the 2nd. inst. of a putrid fever.
His funeral was attended by all his Fellow-countrymen who are prisoners of war
as well as by the Medical Gentlemen and the Inhabitants of Verdun whose esteem
and friendship he had gained by the benevolence which he displayed towards the
unfortunate of every description. He delighted to rescue the wretched from the
bed of sickness and death and afforded them both medical and pecuniary assistance."
To the Glory of God and in memory of John Jackson M.D. and Sarah his wife also in memory of their son John Jackson M.D.
who died a prisoner of war at Verdun in devoting his life to the succour of his fellow prisoners.
