<DIV><STRONG><FONT color=#6d563b size=2>In 1908, B. Fenton won the
election for Sheriff and spent four years as head of county law
enforcement. George K. Quine was elected to his first term in 1911 and
served as Sheriff for 10 years -- the longest of any Sheriff so far in
the county, Samuel Starmer followed in 1921 and served until September
1927, when he resigned to become commandant at the Old Soldiers Home.
Percy A. Webb was appointed to the Sheriff's position in 1927 and held
the office until 1929, coming back later to serve from 1933 to 1941
after Vivian Theodore Jackson served from 1929 to 1933 as Sheriff.
Jackson also at one time was County Judge and was on the State
Legislature from 1953 to 1955.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

Douglas County - Jackson, Vivian Theodore</DIV></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm wanting to learn if anyone has any info
on Vivian Theodore Jackson. Some years back my great uncles told
me this man was my great-grandfather's best friend and his son was
related distantly thru the Agee line of the family (I wasn't clear if it
was the mom or dad that was suppose to be related). I'm just
beginning to work on learning about this family. I have discovered
that 1929-1933 V.T. Jackson was the Sheriff of Douglas County,
Oregon. His wife was Susie and son, Elton V. and dau. Dorothy D.
were living at home in Roseburg. I thought he also had a son named
David but that son is not listed in their home in the 1930
census.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just thought I'd ask on the OR-Roots list
as possibly someone else already has info. on this family.</FONT></DIV>
