Dr E E Jackson died at 3:15 o'clock yesterday morning from the effect of a paralytic stroke the day before. His death occurred at his home, 1527 Gate Street.
The funeral will be held at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon at the Church of the Good Shepherd. The Rev W I Witsell, the rector, will conduct the services. Pallbearers are Drs H M Gar, W C McMillan, Bryan E Miot, L I Philpot, and Messrs B A Rawls and Frank Shams.
Dr Jackson is survived by his widow and two sons, Messrs. R Russell Jackson and Edmund Jackson, and one brother, Mr C F Jackson of this city. Mr Edmund Jackson, who resides in Connecticut, is expected to reach Columbia in time for the funeral.
Edmund Jackson was born in Charleston March 6, 1835 and was therefore 70 years of age. He was a man of mental attainments and great kindliness of heart. He entered the service of the Confederate States at the commencement of the war and served in the laboratory of the hospital department and rendered efficient assistance to the surgical department when his other duties would permit.
During the epidemic of yellow fever at Norfolk, Virginia in 1855, he labored unceasingly to bring relief to the afflicted regardless of the danger which surrounded him.
On his return to Charleston, Dr Jackson was presented by the city with a silver cup in recognition of his self-sacrificing services.
After the close of the war he came to Columbia, first opening a drugstore on Plain Street and later moving to Main Street, where he continued in business until a few years ago. As a microscopist he held high rank, much work of that nature coming to him from all parts of the state.

His friend James Henry Rice, Jr, wrote a long and fulsome tribute to Dr Jackson, which dollowed his obituary. An excerpt:
"In his personal relations, Jackson was a great hearted gentleman, who loved his friend and his pipe, a lovable companion, and the best of company always, his rich mind bringing to light some new truth at every turn, withal a jovial companion who held the ancient faith of gentleman in all the things that gentlemen honor."

Dr Jackson's funeral notice appeared in the Feb 18, 1905 State, and confirms that he was buried in Elmwood Cemetery.
He attended the Medical College of South Carolina in 1858, but did not graduate. In 1860, he was a druggist in Newberry, SC. During the war, he served as a hospital steward and worked in the Confederate Medical Laboratory in Columbia. After the war it appears that he went back to being a druggist.
Thanks to Dr Terry Hambrecht for additional information.
