Burial in Estes Cemetery, Coalfield. [MorganCounty News] LEE JACKSON HOME BOUGHT FROM THE CAMPBELLITE CHURCH IN THE EARLY1900'S The Campbellite Church was organized by Thomas Campbell and his son,Alexander Campbell, in Western Pennyslvania . The founders neverimagined that one of their churches would become home to one ofCoalfield's finest families, the Lee Jackson family. The Campbellites were formed in 1890 with a purpose of following thepattern of Christianity used by the Apostles. The New Testament wastheir guide. They believed in baptism by immersion and held weeklyobservances of the Lord's Supper. For a while the Campbellite Disciples were allied with the Baptist.Finally they pulled away and were later called the Church of Christ . A Campbellite church was established in Coalfield and overlooked thecommunity from what is often referred to as Thornton Hill. When thelocal church vacated their building, Lee Jackson purchased thebuilding in the early 1900s and wrote his check to Mr. Albert Butlerof Coalfield, a member of the church. There were other members of thechurch by the name of Amos family. Lee and his wife, , made this church building into a beautiful andspacious home to raise his family of six daughters. At that time, theroad leading to the home was called the Lee Jackson road. In lateryears Lee became ill and lived with hihis daughters. The home was soldto Carl Thornton, who used it as a cabinet shop. The home laterburned to the ground. Eventually the road came to be known as BeautyBox Road , named after the beauty shop that was placed where the LeeJackson home once stood. The Lee Jackson family kept the sacredness of the former church. Thebuilding housed a Christian family and was a happy home for those wholived there, who visited, and who remember it.
