Obituary copied from newspaper obit posted to ancestry.com tree of __________ http: Lakeland Cash Feed Co., founder dies LAKELAND - William Leon Jackson Sr., the founder and owner of Lakeland's oldest company - the Lakeland Cash Feed Company - died Monday at Lakeland Regional Medical Center. He was 89. Jackson's wife, Ollir R. Jackson, said the company was his "pride and joy," but added that he will be best remembered for his understanding nature. "He was understanding to the people when they couldn't pay bills," she said. "He would say, 'Mother, they'll pay when the rain comes. Once it rains, their crops will come in and they'll pay.'" Jackson started Lakeland Cash Feed Company on May 18, 1918, on the corner of Massachusetts Avenue and Cedar Street. The business, now located on Lake Mirror, also includes an Eaton Park Manufacturing plant that produces animal feeds. Jackson, a native of Tennessee, came to Lakeland in 1910. He was a 1916 graduate of Lakeland High School, and a member of the Rotary and the Masons. He is survived by his wife, a son, William Leon Jackson, Jr., brother, Charles Tyler Jackson; four grandchildren and seven great grandchildren. Funeral services will be held 10 a.m. Wednesday at Gentry Morrison Southside Funeral Home.
