["Gerry Mattinson" <Gerry_Mattinson_uid905@yahoogroups_ .invalid>]

Here is an obituary that connects to Nathaniel Smith research:

Lila Ellen Smith (born 1918 in Amherst, the d/o Earl Sanford Smith) married Alfred Henry Jackson. This obituary is for Alfred's mother.

Apr 11, 1970 Halifax Chronicle Herald:
MRS. ELLEN (NELLIE) A. JACKSON, 78, widow of George W. Jackson of Lorneville will be buried today following funeral service in the Lorneville United Church at 2 p.m. with Rev. Heber Kean officiating. She died Thursday in the Highland View Hospital, Amherst. She was born in Bristol, England. She is survived by six daughters, Viola (Mrs. Norman Locke) Brookdale; Lillian (Mrs. Gerald Turner); Pearl (Mrs. Bill Mountain) and Evelyn (Mrs. Douglas Haynes) all of Lorneville; Annie (Mrs. Harry Noiles) Amherst; Margaret (Mrs. Eugene Haynes), Tidnish; three sons, Alfred, Nappan; Avery, Leicester and Jonnie, Chapman Settlement; one brother Harry Faltham, Amherst; 69 grandchildren and 54 great grandchildren. Burial will be in the church cemetery.

NOTE: New Brunswick Archives' marriage index and her son's 1994 (Alfred) obituary both list Ellen as Feltham, not Faltham.
