Today marks the 132nd anniversary of Robert Houghwout Jackson’s birth. It occurred on Saturday, February 13, 1892, in Spring Creek Township, Warren County, Pennsylvania, in the farmhouse that Robert’s great-grandfather built on the Brokenstraw Creek much earlier in the 19th century.
In Spring Creek, February 13, 1892, was a very snowy day. A doctor delivered Robert in the second floor room where his father, William Eldred Jackson, had been born thirty years earlier.
