Note: erica, Rooms 201-208, Dowling Building, 6 Pleasant St., Malden MA. Also worked for a Chevrolet dealership in the area. Family is 1930 US census for Middlesex, MA, USA. The family moved back to Salem, NB between 11 Apr, 1931 and 26 June, 1933 ( prob. in June, 1933) upon hearing of James P. Jackson's sudden illness. Shortly after the family's return to Canada in 1933, Everett built a house on the Salem-Springhill Cross Road, a few hundred feet from the Salem Road. The house was built on an old foundation on a piece of Crown Land that Everett had leased from the NB Government under the Farm Settlement Board program. The family moved to Havelock in 1939, apparently because they had not met the requirements of the program. The house was subsequently moved to the Springhill Road by the Landry (probably Peter) family. A Peter Landry house in Springhill burned in 1946.("Butternut Ridge - Havelock", publ. by the Havelock Women's Institute) It was most likely the former Jackson house. "The provincial government realized that more settlement of the province was necessary to provide a steady market for locally produced goods and to supply the growing export industry. In 1912, a Farm Settlement Board was created to buy abandoned farms and attract new settlers for them. This board, the forerunner of the Farm Adjustment Board of today, could also make time payment arrangements to the new farmers". (from the following website of the New Brunswick Dept. of Agriculture and Aquaculture: http://www.gnb.ca/0168/20/0168200005-e.asp) In talks with Myrtle Ryder (Thorne) in June and August, 2009, she related to Eugene Jackson that, as a young girl, she had seen the house being moved along the road past her home. It was moved out the Salem Rd. to the Canaan Rd., then down the Springhill Rd. and probably became the second house on the left, between the Bill Keith and the McFarlane places. Mrs. Ryder was Eugene Jackson's grade 4 to 6 teacher at the Havelock school.
