Samuel C. Jackson who died of heart disease at his family residence, Flushing Bay, L.I., was well and favorably know in the New York jewelry trade for over forty years. When seventeen years old he quitted his home in Glen Cove and became a clerk in the big jewelry house of S.P. Williams at 19 Maiden-lane. He left there to serve with Platt Brothers, and in the years that followed he was associated as a partner with the firms of Matag & Jackson, 15 John-street. His firm, which was subsequently known as Ignatius Sturn and Samuel C. Jackson, did a large business and had two important branch houses at Paris and Amsterdam in 1870.

Mr. Jackson began business alone at 180 Broadway and continued it up to his death. He was a large property holder on both the north and south sides of Long Island. The bulk of this land was derived from the Indians by his ancestors, and the deeds contain the curious attestations of the red men. Mr. Jackson's father, the Hon. Thomas B. Jackson, was a Congressman from New York in the early years of the century. The old Jackson mill yet standing was built by one of Mr. Jackson's ancestors over 150 years ago.

A widow and six children survive the dead merchant. The funeral services will be held at St. George's Church, Flushing, L.I., at 3 o'clock today.
