I recall reading an interview of someone who knew Jackson late in Jackson's life. The interviewee grew up in the town where Jackson had his liquor store and would speak with him often. He said that Jackson absolutely could draw his own name, and that he could easily tell the difference between when Jackson did it and when his wife did. There was no mention of Jackson needing to see his own signature in front of him in order to sign. Then again, this was the 1940's so perhaps by this time he was able to do it on his own?
