Jackey, William (1863? - 20 Sep 1912)

William Jackey, who came here (Thorp, Clark County, Wis.) about three weeks ago from Everett, Wash., died of Bright's disease at the home of his brother, Dr. F. D. Jackey, about 11:00 p.m. on Friday last. Deceased has been troubled with the disease for about two years. He came east in hopes the change of climate might improve his condition, but the long journey had a serious effect and no doubt hastened the end. He was forty-nine years of age, and had never married. Short funeral services were held at the residence on Saturday forenoon and the body was shipped to Ashland, Wis., for interment. Mr. and Mrs. Jackey and Mrs. Eastman, a sister of deceased, of Ashland, who arrived here a week ago, accompanied the body to Ashland, where the funeral took place on Sunday.
