Today marks the 131st anniversary of Robert Houghwout Jackson’s birth. He was born on Saturday, February 13, 1892, in the Jackson family farmhouse in Spring Creek Township, Warren County, Pennsylvania (where it was a very snowy day). Robert was born on the second floor of this house, in the same room where his father William Eldred Jackson had been born thirty years earlier.
