Lost Jackson

Before April 15, when they are scheduled to unveil a bronze Andrew Jackson in Statuary Hall at the U. S. Capitol, Andrew Jackson IV wants to find Albert Marble Jackson, his brother. The latter vanished in 1925 after assisting Andrew Jackson IV in unveiling a Jackson statue in the Hall of Fame, Manhattan.

The original Andrew Jackson was their great-granduncle and great-grand-foster-father. Children of his own Andrew Jackson had none. But he adopted and named Andrew Jackson Jr. his dead wife's sister's son, descendant of Inventor Eli Whitney of cotton gin fame. The present Andrew Jackson, a Los Angeles realtor, and the missing Albert Marble Jackson, were brought up at "The Hermitage," historic Jackson plantation near Nashville, Tenn. Before vanishing, reputedly by steamer to Europe, Albert Marble Jackson is thought to have disposed of valuable Jacksoniana from "The Hermitage".
