Chester Jackson was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Claus Jackson.
Claire Kollander was born at Marian, North Dakota. She came to Hannaford to teach in about 1912. She received her education at Valley City State Teachers College, receiving her teaching degree.
In 1914, Claire and Chester Jackson were married. Two children were born to this union, Byron and Clinton. Clinton died when about 15 years of age.
Chester died at an early age, so Claus Jackson acted as "father" and grandfather to Byron.
Mrs. Jackson was a prolific writer of many articles and was the "Hannaford Reporter" for the Griggs County Sentinel Courier.
In 1942, when Byron entered the military service, Claire moved to Santa Monica, California. For the next 20 years she was employed at the University Library at UCLA. She passed away in 1968, and was brought back for burial in the Hannaford Cemetery.
