His date of birth is based on his age of "67 years, 7 months, and 20 days" at the time of his death, March 31, 1886. His epitaph (edited) was as follows:
Servant of God well done
Rest from thy loved employ
The battle fought the victory won
Enter thy Master's joy
NOTE: I visited the Jackson-Lyles Cemetery during the afternoon of November 10, 2018, and found the grounds mowed and weedeated. I also discovered that someone had removed Rev. William R. Jackson's original headstone (it had previously fallen and was lying flat). His original footstone, however, is still there, and his grave is on the right of his wife Mahala's (if one is facing her headstone).
