Obituary.

Jacob Fittro, son of Jacob and Amy
Fittro, was born in Highland county,
Ohio, on the 18th day of May, 1859.
On the Sth day of August, 1880, he
was married to Mics Louella Buzzard,
daughter of William and Nora Buzzard.
They began their happy welded life on
the old EIgar Brown place, near Rains
boro. They lived there one year, in
which time, one child was born to them.
They then removed to Stringtown, and
in the following spring, went to Bogard,
Mo. Here their second child was born.
They lived there only two or three years
when Jacobs health failed him greatly.
He decided to seek lighter atmosphere
in which to restore his health. He &C.
cordingly started on what seemed fruit
less mission, to Colorado Springs. At
's time his weight was only 9S pounds.
Al.er remaining in Colorado for about
two months he returned greatly i'm
proved, having gained 40 pounds in flesh.
In 1886 he and his family moved to
Christian county, of the same State.
Here they lived one year and in 1887
moved to Springfield, Mo. They lived
in this city until 1891, when on Thanks
giving Day, his loving, cheerful. happy
companion and mother bade farewell to
earthly happiness and loving friends and
fell asleep in the arms of the Savior she
tenderly loved. After this sad event,
which completely broke up their happy
home, Jacob, with his two daughters,
made their home for about six years at
hie father-in laws, in which time he
made two visits with his relatives and
friends in this county. On the 10th of
November, 1897, he, with his younger
daughter, who is now present, came to
this county. He was not able to do
much physical labor and visited among
brothers and sisters until about three
months ago, when he settled down in
the home of his sister, Mrs. Tabitha
Sumner, to spend his last days on earth.
In conversation with some OF his friends
concerning his departure. he said he
felt he was ready to 60. His weary days
OF suffering were made as pleasant as
possible by the attention given him by
his daughter, Ethel, and the other men,
bers of the home. Also the Christian
spirit manifested in the most careful at
tention given him by his niece in this
home, showed what true friend she
WAS. His sufferings came to peaceful
termination at three o'clock a. m.
Thanksgiving Day, when without even a
gasp, he passed into the hoped for eter-
nifty of bliss. Aged 40 years, 6 months
and lS DAYS.
