Memory Lane: Jesse D. Jurey Jr. Descendants

A PERSONAL STROLL THROUGH THE PAST Jesse D. Jurey Jr and Mary Stillings Descendants

Reminiscing Through Old Writings (Actually written by Jobe Descendants)

Last modified 27 Mar 2008

Many of our family have left us a legacy of personal writings (Bible entries, diaries, letters, memoirs), which help us to visualize their daily lifes. We have attempted to collect as many of these letters as possible. By strolling downward, you may slowly linger over each one or quickly jump to a particuliar group - click on category below. Have a letter to post, please e-mail Freida Wells or myself, Ann Brown.

(In memory of our Jobe ancestors whose writings appear here.)

"Dear Aunt Kate & Cousin Jessie & family
Just a few lines to let you know that mother passed away April 19 at 1:15 the funeral Services was the following Monday afternoon Should of written sooner but seems there was so much to see to & so many around just couldn’t get to it. She hasn’t been very well sence Christmas. She had been in bed most of the time for the last 4 or 5 weeks. But she sat up a while the day before she died. Her heart has been bad for some time & it just gave away. Don’t think she suffered very much. She sure was a good mother and we sure will miss her, but what is our loss will be heavens gain. She sure had a lot of friends. There sure was a lot of flowers also. Those that came from Norton Co. was Nettie & family Ernie, Ethel, Jria (?) . Lula Nettie daughter & her Husband. Mother soon would of been 83 in June. How are allof you folks. How are Johns and Fred. Sure would like to see some of you folks once more. It has been years sence we have been together.
Our boy is in the army it soon will be 3 years he is O.K. yet. He is out fighting the Japs. He has been along on 5 missions now. At present he is on Okinawa Sure hope this old war will be over before long.
Edith & Ruth are working in Topeka. & Opal is teaching School. Help sure is scarce here now. Our crops look fine so far the ground sure is wet.
With Love W. J. T. Jurey & family
