Information from family member: Millie Jones
Dan Jackson was training Morgan horses (possibly on the Slough Ranch) and was kicked by one of the horses. He spent a few days in bed, and was eventually taken to a doctor. He died a few days later of internal bleeding from a damaged spleen. He died at the Bay City Hospital (corner of Ave F & 4th St) and was attended by Dr. Albert Searce. Morton.
 

Old residents will remember Mrs. Daniel Jackson who used to live on the Slough Ranch. Mrs. Jackson died at Gulf and was buried in the Collegeport cemetery Thursday. She leaves four sons, three of them married, and two daughters, both married. --The Matagorda County Tribune, May 25, 1928
