Notes for WILLIAM EDWARD JACKSON: [jackfam.FTW] -----Original Message----- From: BJ McKeel [mailto:bjmck@stlnet.com] Sent: Thursday, June 22, 2000 1:24 PM To: rjackson1@satx.rr.com Subject: next letter ANOTHER LETTER FROM MR. JACKSON St. Louis, Mo. July 8, 1929 Dear Editor: I will write you a short letter this week. I was glad to hear that you had a good time the Fourth. Would have enjoyed being there. We had a good time here. We drove tp Jefferson Barracks and saw the standing guard. Everything surely was nice out there. The government has a large reserve there. It is all kept like a lawn. Lots of fine buildings. We visited the Robert Koch Hospital, one mile south of the Barracks, which is the prettiest place you ever saw. It is an elevated place over looking the Mississippi River. Then we came home, had supper and drove to Forrest Highland Park, which is the capitol sporting place of St. Louis. It covers two or three acres, and has more amusements than you ever saw on the amount of land. There are all kinds of Swinging and riding machines, but of all; the loop the loop beat all. It was high in the air; had a track laid and a car to ride on. It first carried you in the ground and then in the air, then making a loop. It was too much for me. We visited the Lindbergh Building, where all of the Trophies are stores. It is a wonderful collection. A very large building full of some very valuable trophies. Quite a number were solid gold, such as vases. There were other presents too numerous to mention. We visited the oil fields yesterday at Dupo, Illinois. They have thirty wells, most of which are producing about twenty barrels of oil per day. The wells average about five hundred fifty feet in depth. There are several drills unloading. There isn't boarding facilities for the people who comes there. I saw Lon Alexander and wife. They are running a cafe and rooming house--keep open day and night--have all they can do. We went to see Mr. John Massen and wife, from near Rector who were run over by a car in East St. Louis two weeks ago. John is in St. Mary's Hospital yet. Hiswife is at home. They will come home soon. Thanks for your paper just received. It was like getting a letter from home. I think your paper is improving every issue. St. Louis is a fine city, but I have seen all of it I care to see. Rector is good enough for me. Think I will be home in time for Sunday School Sunday. Will ring off for this time. Guess this will be the last letter from here from me. With best wishes, for you and your paper, I remain Your friend, W.E. Jackson (typed as is) (Rector- "The Clay Co. Independent") (the editor was Ben Daulton) Barbara |
