Death of an Estimable Lady.
Died, in Mound City, Mo., after a painful and lingering illness—Mrs. Louisa Jewell, wife of S. P. Jewell, aged 34 years, 4 months and 11 days.
She was born the 17th of December, 1841, in the town of Leunen, Province of Westphalia, Kingdom of Prussia, Germany.
She removed with, her parents, Charles and Henrietta Van Lunen, to the United States in the year 1849, and first settled at Johnstown, Pennsylvania. In the year 1869, she, with her parents moved to this county, and was married to Mr. S. P. Jewell the 23d of March, 1870.
Mrs. Jewell was the mother of two children, one of which, her son Charles, survives her, the other died when only a few days old.
Her parents being members of the Evangelical State Church of Germany, her early religious instructions, were obtained in that church. Some 14 years ago, Mrs. Jewell united with the Presbyterian church, and has ever remained faithful to her trust, which she so beautifully exemplified in her patience all through her lingering and painful sickness, never losing sight of Jesus and his promises.
About five years ago she first complained of severe pains, which increased to an extent as to deprive her of the pleasure of attending to her family duties. For the last two years she has been almost unable to move herself, but was nevertheless very hopeful of final recovery. But as she kept getting worse, and as the hour of her dissolution drew nigh, she was resigned to the will of Him who maketh all things right. She died in the hope of a blissful immortality beyond the grave.
A deeply bereaved husband and one child, as also an aged father and numerous relatives and friends, remain to mourn her early departure. Her funeral took place, April 29th, and her remains were deposited in the Union Cemetery, near Forest City.
Though the King of terror has stricken the blow,
Removed from her friends, the faithful and true,
Jesus, the King of Peace, has banished the woe,
Given assurance we shall meet her anew.
Fear not," he tells us, "and be not afraid,
I have her now with me, rewarding her faith."
