North Augusta founder James A. Jackson buried at Sunset Cemetery
The founder of North Augusta lies in Sunset Cemetery off Alta Vista Avenue in a modest column marked Jackson surrounded by relatives. City records show three parcels acquired to expand the cemetery after 1907 and 1924 deeds tied to back taxes, with the 1953 purchase extending Sunset site. Local figures call for a tasteful landscaping plan to honor Jackson ahead of the city’s 100th anniversary.
