General Notes: Husband - Allan Cummings Jackson
He was graduated from high school here, then attended the Wharton School of Finance and Commerce, University of Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia, for three years. For six months he was employed by the Floridin Company, then for a like period was with the First National Bank of Warren. Like many young men of his day, he suffered the interruption of World War service in his business career, and for eleven months, in 1917 and 1918, was in the Engineer Corps, United States Army Air Service, in Memphis, Tennessee, then at Montgomery, Alabama, and finally at Arcadia Field, in Florida. He received the second lieutenant's commission at Memphis, and was honorably discharged in December, 1918. Returning to civilian life, he became again associated with the Floridin Company, in 1920, as clerk in the sales department, in charge of sales. He became treasurer in 1926, and in 1928 was elected president.
The Floridin Company, in its first phase, was called the Owl Commercial Company and was a New York corporation, engaged principally in raising tobacco and manufacturing the “Owl” cigar. From the Owl Commercial Company there came into being the Southern Fuller's Earth Company, which subsequently became the Floridin Company.
Mr. Jackson was a Republican; a member of the Warren Chamber of Commerce, the Conewango Club and the Sigma Nu college fraternity; and an ex-member of the Rotary Club, of which he was at one time president. He belonged to the First Methodist Church.
