DEATH OF MRS. JESSE STARR
This week it becomes our task to record the death of Mrs. Jesse Starr, which occurred at the residence of Mr. J.C. Barker, about three o'clock Monday morning. She was 76 years of age. The funeral took place Tuesday and was well attended. Her remains were interred in the Evergreen cemetery south of town.
Mrs. Starr met with a very severe accident, early last fall, which was chiefly instrumental in bringing to a close her long and well spent life. She had the misfortune to break one of her legs, which since the time of its occurrence, was to her a source of great pain and misery; but she bore her affliction with Christian resignation until Monday morning when death relieved her of her suffering.
Mrs. Starr was a lady of many excellent and redeeming qualities and was ever active in the performance of her duties as a true wife and mother. She was the mother of two of Palo Alto county's most prominent citizens, J.C. and David Baker, and was step-mother to David Starr. She spent many of the years of her life in Delaware county and has lived in this county for about five years. She will be sadly missed by her friends and neighbors but more so by those who were near and dear to her, who, although they have reached the years of long-experienced manhood, will oft recall the faded hours when maternal kindness rocked their childish sorrows to rest. Peace to her ashes.
LATER: - Just as we go to press we learn that Mr. Starr, husband of the deceased, died Monday evening and was also buried on Tuesday. It is very seldom that the husband and wife are buried on the same day.
