Samuel Hollister Jackson (December 7, 1875 – November 2, 1927) was an American attorney, businessman, and politician who served as the 56th lieutenant governor of Vermont in 1927.

[1] Jackson moved to Barre City, Vermont, where he supported himself by giving piano, organ, and music composition lessons while studying law.

[4][5][6][7][8] In 1901 he was elected Barre's Grand Juror (municipal court prosecutor) and he served as Washington County State's Attorney from 1904 to 1906, succeeding John H.

[16][17] The 1905 citizenship court case against S. Hollister Jackson arose as an attempt to disqualify him from serving as State's Attorney for Washington County, Vermont.

In his defense, Jackson presented evidence showing that his father had always considered himself an American, returned to the U.S. before Hollister turned 21, and took the Freeman's Oath.

The Vermont Supreme Court heard the case in early 1906, with both sides presenting extensive arguments on naturalization laws and citizenship by descent.

[18][19][20] In 1926, after a hard-fought, but victorious campaign S. Hollister Jackson became the 56th Lieutenant Governor of Vermont and according to all political indications, he was well on the road to the governorship.

"[22] His tenure was marked by efforts to strengthen Vermont’s future through a policy initiative called "The Citizens and Leaders of Tomorrow"[23] which aimed to retain the state’s youth and curb outward migration.

[28] During the Great Vermont Flood on November 2, 1927, Jackson's car stalled after he hit a deep hole while attempting to drive through the rising Potash Brook near his home at Nelson and Tremont Streets in Barre.
