Jackson Edward Malone

Josephine, Patricia, and Jackson Malone

Jackson Malone was born 8 June 1900 in Fulton, Fulton, Kentucky. Unfortunately, I do not know the names of his parents. When he was still a teenager, he ran away from home and lied about his age so he could join the army in WWI. He was stationed in Panama.

He married Josephine Elizabeth Davis on 1 Apr 1926 in Prescott, Yavapa, Arizona. They lived in Arizona and New Mexico for a while while Jackson worked as a train engineer. They adopted their first child, Patricia. Their second child was Gerald Edward Malone, born on 26 Mar 1939. When Gerald died, Jackson and Josephine moved to Oregon in the 1940's.

Jackson died on 25 Mar 1974 in Ashland, Jackson, Oregon.

I've been told that further information on Jackson and his parents is hard to find since there was a fire that burned some of the records in Kentucky. I haven't been able to find any information on his parents or any siblings if he had any. He didn't talk about his family.
