Edward S. Jackson, 82, of Arlington Heights, a longtime Chicago lawyer who specialized in representing not-for-profit entities, died Tuesday of a heart attack at his downtown law office. His clients included the Salvation Army, the Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago, several orphanages and a home for unwed mothers. During World War II, Mr. Jackson served in the Army adjutant general’s office. “That’s what gave him the idea that he wanted to be a lawyer,” said his daughter Ridgely. He ran an unsuccessful campaign for mayor of Arlington Heights in 1963. Other survivors include a son, Bruce; another daughter, Ruth Rank; and three grandchildren. Services will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday in Southminster Presbyterian Church, 916 E. Central Rd., Arlington Heights.
