Obituary Notice - Western World - March 16, 1944:

Melissa Rachel Jennings, 87, passed away at the family home Sunday morning, March 12, from a slight attack of influenza.

She was born in Wisconsin, October 4, 1856, and came to Bandon in 1915 with her husband, the late Rev. N. E. Jennings, and their family. Rev. Jennings died January 7, 1939. Mrs. Jennings lived with her son, Paul, at their home between Bandon and Prosper.

The deceased was the mother of 12 children, six of whom are living: Mrs. May Durphey, in Elkpoint, South Dakota; Frank, in Bremerton, Washington; C. O. in Seaside; N. A. in Napa, California; Mrs. Bertha Thomas in Seattle; and Paul, in Bandon.

Funeral services will be held Thursday morning, March 16, at 11 o'clock at the Church of God in Bandon with the Rev. Hans Nelson of North Bend officiating. He will be assisted by the Rev. Christian, former pastor of the local church. Interment under the direction of Schroeder Brothers will be in the Odd Fellows Cemetery.

Mrs. Jennings was beloved by all who knew her. She was a typical old-fashioned Christian mother, whose sole aim in life was to extend her guidance and help to those who came within her sphere of society. Her departure removes a pioneer whose influence will be felt in generations to follow.
