AWARDED TO / Grace Jackson / 1890

The Report of the Superintendent of Common Schools of the City and County of San Francisco for the Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 1890 lists the Bridge Medal Pupils, Tenth Award, May 1890. Since Bridge medals were awarded only to boys, this medal is an oddity as Grace is a girl's name. No "Grace Jackson" is listed but there is an "Oliver M. Jackson" listed as an awardee from the Lincoln Evening School. It is possible that the wrong name was engraved on the medal and that another medal was engraved correctly and given to the recipient. The Lincoln Evening School was located in the Hearst School Building at Hermann and Fillmore Streets. The Transactions of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers, 1919, lists an Oliver M. Jackson living at 1102 Kirkham St., Oakland (California).
