Interment Control Form, 1937
National Cemetery System (U.S.)
World War, 1914-1918
Veterans--Florida
World War, 1914-1918--African Americans
The interment control form for Andrew Jackson (1893-1937). Interment cards are control forms for burial lots in United States national cemeteries. The card provides information such as name, rank, serial number, company, regiment and other service information, date of death, date of interment, and gravesite.<br /><br />
Andrew Jackson was born in July 1893 in Sparr, Florida, though his draft card lists May 16 as his birthday. Little is known about his early life. He registered for the draft, like many, on June 5, 1917, and was inducted into the United States Army in August 1918. From September 1918 to July 1919, Jackson served as a private in Company M of the 807th Pioneer Infantry. The unit served in a technical capacity, constructing and repairing infrastructure, and this work often brought them in direct action with the enemy. Jackson was discharged on July 9, 1919. He returned to Florida and married his wife, Lucille, with whom he had three children. He worked for the Flroida East Coast Railroad until his death on November 4, 1937. He is buried in the St. Augustine National Cemetery at Section A Grave 216.<br /><br />
In 2017, the University of Central Florida was one of three universities selected to launch the National Cemetery Administration’s <a href="https://vlp.cah.ucf.edu/">Veterans Legacy Program Project</a>. The program engaged a team of scholars to make the life stories of veterans buried in the Florida National Cemetery available to the public. The project engages UCF students in research and writing and fosters collaboration between students, faculty and local Central Florida schools to produce interactive curriculum for k-12 students. The corresponding website exhibit uses RICHES Mosaic Interface to create a digital archive of related data. The public can use the project-developed augmented-reality app at more than 100 gravesites at the Florida National Cemetery, where they can access the UCF student-authored biographies of veterans.
