General Notes: Husband - Frederick Brant Jackson
He was born at Honeywell, Missouri, and while he was still very young his parents returned to Pennsylvania and took up their residence in the village of Youngsville, in Warren County. Here his early years were spent and his education acquired, passing through the high school after a preliminary course at the grammar schools. At the age of fourteen years he became an apprentice to the printer's trade, spending two years in the office of the Youngsville Enterprise; after this he passed an equal length of time with the Warren Mail. He then returned home to Youngsville, where he associated himself with the firm of Mead & Jackson, tinners and hardware dealers, remaining in their employ for about two years; and upon leaving them, at the age of nineteen, went out to North Dakota, where he became employed as a clerk at Castleton, having charge of the hardware department in the general store of Hubard & Parlin. After two years with this firm, he resigned in order to become superintendent of the Grandon Steamboat and Elevator Company, operating on the Red river between Grand Forks and Fargo; here he was engaged for eight years in growing, shipping, and purchasing wheat and other grain. He then embarked in business for himself, purchasing a ranch of twelve hundred acres and growing wheat for two years. At the end of this time he sold out his business and went to Walker's Station, Georgia, where he purchased a half interest in a plantation of 3,200 acres. At the end of two years he sold out his half interest to his partner, C. G. Herrick, and, returning to Pennsylvania, located at Warren. On January 1, 1891, he was appointed commissioner's clerk, remaining in this position for twelve years, since which he has been interested in oil producing and refining, drilling and producing also in southeastern Ohio. He was secretary of the Superior Oil Works and was a director in the Mutual Refining Company; he had a handsome residence at No. 305 Fifth street, Warren, which was built in 1907.
He received varied schooling, mostly in the hard-fisted “school of life”. In different parts of the country he served in different capacities and industries, revealing himself as the possessor of many of those sturdy qualities that characterized his pioneer forebears. He became interested in oil production in Oklahoma and Texas, and, after returning to Warren, became associated with the Floridin Company, Inc., organized in 1910 to produce fuller's earth.
As president of that enterprise, Mr. Jackson was instrumental in furthering its success along many lines and in varied directions. He was active in the management and head of the company's executive organization until 1935, when he withdrew from the presidency to be chairman of the company's board of directors. Though he has relinquished active headship of the business to his son, Allan Cummings Jackson, he continued to serve in an advisory capacity and was still responsible for shaping many of the policies of the business. In other enterprises Frederick Brant Jackson was also active for many years, notably as vice-president of the Warren Bank & Trust Company. In politics he was a staunch Republican, and he was a member of the First Methodist Episcopal Church.
