I am doing research involving a biography of John N. Lightbourn who lived in Charlotte Amalie from 1868 to 1928. He was owner and editor of a newspaper called "Lightbourn's Mail Notes" until about 1918 and operated a store on Main Street where he sold photo supplies and picture postcards that he himself publshed. If anyone can provide information on this individual I would be very grateful. In this regard, I have been advised from a source that a Mr. Myron Jackson, living in St. Thomas had knowledge of Lightbourn but I have been unable to contact hin. Can anyone help me locate him?

Hi Sy.
Merry Christmas. How's the project going?
Myron Jackson runs the State Historic Preservation Office. His phone number at work is 340 776-8605. If you don't get him, let me know. They won't be back at work until Wednesday!
