Mrs. Albert Grange
"Asleep in Jesus! O how sweet to be for such a slumber meet! With holy confidence to sing. That death has lost, its venomed sting."
Anna Lawton Jones was born at Shullsburg, Wisconsin, October 21, 1857, the ninth child of Sarah Lawton and Paul Jones. In 1877 she moved with her family to Mineral Point where she lived until shortly after her marriage. As a young woman "aunt Annie" spent a great deal of time at the George Grange home following the death of her older sister, Mary. To her five nieces, Cora, Maude, Gertie, Ethel and Mae she was a sort of foster mother. Two of these nieces, Mrs. Maude Hoar and Mrs. Cora Andrews died earlier this year with in four days of each other. Anna Lawton Jones became the wife of Albert Grange, June 1, 1898, and they moved to Darlington shortly thereafter. Here she lied with the exception of one year in Belmont, the rest of her life. As the sun was sinking on Wednesday, August 11, 1937, Anna Lawton Grange at the age of 61 years, 9 months and 21 days was released from the pain of mortal suffering. For more than twenty years she had been handicapped by deafness, a malady which became more acute as her health failed. For many weeks she had been bedfast in the home of her daughter, Mrs. Homer Buttery, with who, she had lived the greater part of the time following her husband's death in 1933. Immediate relatives surviving are one brother, Albert Jones, of Black River Falls; one daughter Frances (Mrs. Homer Buttery) of Darlington; three sons, Paul L. of Carthage, Illinois; Raymond A. of Chicago, Illinois and Howard L. of Detroit, Michigan; three grandchildren, Pauline Anne and Martha Marie Grange, and William Albert Buttery. Funeral services were held Friday afternoon at tow o'clock from the Nelson Funeral Home with Rev. Harris of the M.E. church officiating. Music consisting of the hymns, "Rock of Ages" and "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere," was played my Miss. Glenda Roy. Casket bearers were; Ed Micka, Clay Woodward, Leo Westerman, Ernest Danzer, Jas. Bryson and William Schulz. Interment was in Union Grove Cemetery. The beauty and importance of family life was stressed by Rev. Harris in his funeral message. This seemed particularly appropriate in reference in the life of Mrs. Grange. She was a woman whose first thought always was of her home and family. She served them with the uniting love and devotion which only a true mother can give. She loved people and there are many who will cherish long the memory of her neighborliness and friendship.
"Still, still with Thee, when purple morning breaketh. When the bird waketh, and the shadows flee.
Fairer than morning, lovelier than the daylight. Dawns the sweet consciousness, I am with Thee.
When sinks the soul, subdued by toil, to slumber. Its closing eye looks u to Thee in prayer. Sweet the
repose beneath Thy wings o'ershading. But sweeter still to wake and find Thee there. So shall it be at
last, in that bright morning. When the soul waketh, and life's shadows flee; O for that hour when fairer
than the dawning. Shall rise the glorious thought, I am with Thee."
Among those coming from a distance to attend the services were: Mr. and Mrs. Albert Jones and daughter La Von, Black River Falls,; Mr. and Mrs. Harry Wells, Mrs. Raymond Blackbourne and Mr. Alva Blackbourne, Mr. and Mrs. John French and son George, Monroe; Mr. Will Grange, Mrs. Elizabeth Grange, Mrs. Alva Mitchell and son Alvin, Mrs. Frank Harris, and Mr. Charles Hoar, Mineral Point; Miss Dorothy Andrews and Mr. Philip Andrews, New Glarus; Miss Susan Bottomley, Mrs. Annie Jackson and daughter Daisy, Shullsburg; Mr. and Mrs. Donald McKinnon, Mrs. Albert Thomas, and son James, Le Mars, Iowa; Miss Edna Grange, Sioux Rapids, Iowa; Mr. Raymond Grange, Chicago, Illinois; Mr. Howard Grange, Detroit, Michigan; Mr. and Mrs Paul L. Grange and daughters, Pauline and Martha Cartage, Illinois.
