Jackson, Howell Edmunds (1832–1895)

US jurist. Elected to the US Senate 1880, he was named federal district judge 1886 by Grover Cleveland and chief judge of the circuit court of appeals 1891 by Benjamin Harrison. In 1893 Jackson was appointed to the US Supreme Court, but illness prevented him from carrying out his duties.
