He is buried in the IOOF Cem., Roseburg, Douglas Co., Oregon. Jackson was an attorney and served in the Oregon State Legislature. Aura Jackson was a teacher from the age of 17 and at the time of her death was a teacher at the Barclay School in Oregon City. She died suddenly on 3 May 1940 in Portland and is buried in the Robert Bird Cemetery in Stafford, Clackamas Co., Oregon.
Commodore and Aura Jackson had two children: Marguerite ("Bobbi") Ellen Jackson (married to Elmer O. Berg) and Lucille Marie Jackson (married to John Harold Thomas).
Aura (Thompson) Jackson kept in contact with her Spanish cousins, as did her daughters Bobbi and Lucille. The daughters traveled to Spain and met their Spanish relatives and encouraged others to do the same. The author of this web page was fortunate to be able to visit the Spanish relations in 1985 and 1992. A photograph collection of the Spanish relations, including the photograph of our ancestor Ramona, was given to the author by Bobbi (Jackson) Berg. Neither Bobbi nor Lucille left descendants.
