MRS. MARY b. JUMP.

Mrs. Mary E. Jump died at the residence
of her son-in-law, William H. Brockson
on Lake street, last Saturday morning
August oath. aged 20 years. She had beer
in failing health for months, but her fina
illness was of brief duration, as she wa:
confined to her bed but one week. But she
| knew that life's fitful dream was at its end
and with tender solicitude sent loving mes
sages to friends, distributed various memen-
toes among her children, and with the
words of glorifed saint upon her lips. she
passed peacefully away, in the hope. of q
blessed Immortality. Mrs. Jump was the
daughter of John Hayes, well-known res
ident of this community. and in his day a
prominent man in the affairs of the neigh
borhood. He was one of the founders of
the Methodist Society in Middletown, and
it was largely through his individual effort
that the original church was built.
Mrs. Jump was born on her fathers farm
about two miles north of town, where she
spent happy girlhood and early youth.
Her gentle disposition, refined sensibilities
and appreciation of the beautiful and good
that characterized her early life, were
among her notable qualities in later years
when the lights and shadows had left
their marks upon her life.
In 1S48 she was married to Theodore
Jump, a prosperous and well-to-do mer-
chant at Warwick, Nd, and for more than
twenty-five their life together was that of
a devoted and happy couple. 1t was after
they had left Warwick and located on the
Wye river, Md, that the great sorrow of
her life came, and she became widow by
the mysterious death and disappearance of
her husband.
During the years that followed the
beauty and strength of her character were
seen as never before. Left with three
small children, and but little means of
support. she managed to make and main
tain home, and it is to the influence Of
that home that her children to-day attribute
their success in life. She took up her resi-
dence in Middletown. and for twenty
years has lived quiet, devoted life of toll
and sacrifice. Her last days, however,
were her best, and for nine year she enjoy
ed comfort and ease in the happy home of
her daughter. Her three children all sur
rive her. Eugene Jump, her only son, with
