Examiner 5 Jan 1892  

Our obituary notices record the death of Mr. James Jackson, of the well-known firm of McHugh Bros. and Jackson, of the Tasmanian Steam Pipe, Tile and Pottery Works, Sandhill, which took place at his residence last evening. But a comparatively few days ago Mr. Jackson was prostrated by a painful internal complaint, which it appears had been growing on him for some time unsuspected, and despite all that medical skill and attention could do an operation conducted by three doctors being performed as a last resort-he passed away about seven o'clock last evening. Mr. Jackson, who was but entering the prime of life, being only in his 28th year, was a native of Launceston, being the eldest son of the late Mr. Henry Jackson, who at one time carried on business as a cordial manufacturer in Balfour-street.

His father died when Mr. James Jackson was a mere child, and the widow subsequently married Mr. John McHugh, who brought up the orphan as his own son, and ultimately placed him in his business, with which he has been connected for the last 15 years, being admitted to the partnership about five years ago. Mr. Jackson, who was greatly respected in business and private life, married some two years ago a daughter of Mr. John Garrett of this city, and leaves a widow and infant child to mourn their loss. The death of the junior partner will he much felt by the firm, with which he has been connected since within a few years of its inception, and wide-spread sympathy for of them and for the bereaved family is expressed amongst the residents of South Launceston and other portions of the city. The funeral will leave the late residence of the deceased, Sandhill, at 8 p.m. tomorrow, proceeding to the Presbyterian Cemetery.
