Obituary..

Mary Jane White was born in
Elkhart county, Indiana, June 26,
1888, and died January 80, 1903, aged
SO years, months and days. Her
mother dying when she was yet
mere child she was raised there
until in 1852 she came with her
father to Iowa and settled in Jones
county near what is now the City of
Monticello. On January %, 1854,
she was united in marriage to 1. V.
d. Lewis and spent the following
summer in Kansas; but not finding
suitable location they returned to
Iowa that fall and settled on farm
in south Extra township, landing
here Octohe- 10, 1854, where they
continued to reside until her death.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis helped
organize the first Methodist church
in Audubon county and although
by after force of circumstance
deprived of many church privileges
yet she held to the tenets and was
looked upon as a member of that
denomination through life.
She was held in high esteem by
her friends and neighbors and her
deeds of kindness were many.
1iEluS mere lOI ONeI d lulId OI d
century she saw the many changes
that have occurred and endured all
the hardships and privations Incl
dent to pioneer life; yet all this
was met bravely tor was she not
helping to overcome the obstacles
of nature in making a home for
those she loved best-her children
of which she was the mother of
eleven, four dying in infancy.
Four sons, Ebert, Edward, Clay d.
and William and three daughters,
Charity, Mrs. Ralph Hawk and Mrs.
Chas. Spry, all grown to manhood
and womanhood, still survive her
and were gathered around the old
familiar home and fireside, ready
and willing to administer to her
every want until the reaper came
and severed the brittle thread of
life and the spirit was waited hence
to the God who gave it. She was
but little known outside of her
home circle and neighborhood,
preferring to remain there devoting
the last thirty years of her life in
taking care of and looking after the
wants of an invalid daughter thus
ignoring most of the social enjoy
ments of life. The funeral was held
from the house on Sunday, Feb. l,
conducted by the Rev. j. E. Nichol
of the M. e. church of this city, the
sons acting as pallbearers, the body
was lovingly borne to the Bowen
cemetery where it was tenderly laid
to rest in that beautiful city of the
dead there to rest until the resurrec-
ton morn.
