Administrator George Lister, of Peoples National Bank Ottawa, hired Robert A. Anderson to pursue heirs. The case uncovered Jacksons frugal, private life and a trove of papers including a World War I draft card, a 1898 teacher certificate, and a 1900 Railway Mail Service recommendation from Clyde M. Reed. The search hinged on scattered clues and an arithmetic text book that proved decisive.
