"Unknown" Jackson

Robert W. Nicholson called my attention to a man called Jackson(no first name) who died in New Westminster in 1902. An interesting twist to the legend? Not likely it seems.

The Vital Events records of BC Archives (1902-09-081124, Microfilm B13088) show that this Jackson(first name "unknown") was a 50-year-old male who died on 21 August 1902. The death registration records show that Mr. Jackson was an "Indian" from Bella Coola who died of pulmonary tuberculosis.
