Biographical history

Fred C. Jackson was born in England on December 2, 1894. He first came north as a school teacher for the Anglican Mission in Hay River. He was a bookkeeper with the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) from 1920 to 1931, and during that time travelled to various Mackenzie River Settlements. He left the service of the Hudson's Bay Company on March 23, 1931. Late in life he became a member of the clergy with the Anglican Church of Canada.
