According to Jody Dillard:

Ida Eliza Harlan Jackson

In disposition, Mr. Jackson gave her very high tribute of praise, when he said,"that during their two years of marriage she never gave me a cross word." His wife's death was caused indirectly from being thrown from the seat of a wagon in which she was riding. Her husband begged her not to get in and ride, as the mules had been tring to run away and it was only 1/2 mile away to home, but she just laughed and climbed in. When they got home he told her to sit still until he had the mules unhitched, which she did. Just before the last trace was undone, a man that owed Mrs. Jackson some money for teaching school, stepped up and spoke, which frightened the mules causing them to bolt, throwing Mrs. Jackson down and injuring her. She was soon to become a mother,so did not live long afterwards. She died 1879, deeply mourned by her young husband, relatives and a host of friends.

Written by Alice Jackson Curtis October 2,1925
