Mrs. Homer Watson at rest.
     Mrs. Jane Watson, wife of Homer Watson, died at her home near Jaggard Station at 4 o'clock on Friday last; of pneumonia and heart trouble. Her age was 54 years.
     Mrs. Watson suffered an attack of pneumonia some three weeks ago. Shes got a along fairly well and was thought to be nearly out of danger a week ago and probably would have recovered, had it not been for the peculiar action of the heart. She had everything in her favor until the fever was broken Friday, when the heart trouble first became noticeable. That organ failed to respond properly and weakened as she was by the high temperature of many long days and nights she sank rapidly.
     Mrs. Watson leaves to mourn her a husband and eight children-five boys and three girls-the eldest of the girls being Mrs. Griffith of Tonganoxie. She was a kind dutiful wife and mother and a follower of Christ, being a member of the Methodist church.
     Mrs. Watson was a native of Indiana. While yet a child her parents moved to Iowa, thence to Missouri, where she grew to womanhood and was married, thirty years ago, to Mr. Watson. Seven of her children were present at the funeral. The absent one Arthur, is a member of the First U. S. Infantry on duty in Samar, P. I. He will not learn of his mother's death for many weeks yet.
     The funeral took place from the Glenwood Methodist church on Sunday at 1 o'clock, Rev Boicount, of this place officiating. The interment was made in Glenwood cemetery.

     The sympathy of the community is extended to Homer Watson and family, whose bereavement of wife and mother occurred last week. She will be missed from her accustomed place by the fireside and as central figure in the family circle, but we mourn for her not as they who are without hope mourn-we think of her as not lost-only gone before. Her earthly sufferings are forever past and she has gone to her reward.⁷
