Juan D. Jackson

[1] Upon the death of his father he came back to Uruguay and undertook an important activity in the agricultural field, both commercially and in education.

[1] The Agricultural School in Manga was a pioneering institution for educating agricultural technicians (nowadays that settlement has been transformed into a development with the name of Jacksonville).

[2] He was also a philanthropist, contributing to the establishment of the Salesians of Don Bosco in Uruguay.

[1] The fact of his father being Protestant and his mother Catholic made him a very tolerant person in religious matters, notwithstanding the fact that he was a Roman Catholic.
