Mrs. Jennie GRAHAM, wife of Grant GRAHAM, peacefully passed away Wednesday morning at 8:10 o’clock at the family residence on South Seminary Street, after a lingering illness of tuberculosis. She was born near Owensburg, January 29, 1862; died November 20, 1906; aged 44 years, 9 months and 22 days. She was one of eight children—four sons and four daughters—born to James H. and Rachael GILLILAND, and she was born while her father was at the front helping fight the battles of his country. Of the eight children, three sons and three daughters, together with their mother, survive. Her mother and one brother, John C. GILLILAND, reside in Bloomfield. She was united in marriage to Grant GRAHAM, March 20, 1886 and to this union were born two children, Max and Carrie, who with the husband and her mother and brothers and sisters, survive. About two years ago the family moved to Bloomfield to make their home. And about a year ago were noticed the first symptoms of the disease that finally resulted in death. When she was about fifteen years old she confessed her faith in Christ and united with the Christian Church. Never regretting the choice made in the bloom of her maidenhood, ever rejoicing in the work of her church so long as her strength permitted and continuing steadfast in her loyalty to Him who gave her patience and fortitude for the long and sad painful months of her final illness, she passed away in perfect peace and her spirit entered into the presence of the Prince of Peace who for almost thirty years had been her daily counselor and guide, her comforter and friend. She was a good woman. And these words, spoke in truth, express the Nobelist tribute that has ever been pronounced over the departed. She was of a retiring disposition—by nature she was a homebody. In the home where her husband and her children were, there her graces and her virtues shone as radiant and as beautiful as the earliest rays of the morning sun. And it is in the home that she will be most sadly missed. The little daughter, in her grief, refusing to be comforted and piteously repeating over and over again, “My mamma’s dead” expressed that heart breaking cry which can be fully appreciated only in those homes out of which the mother has gone to return no more. The funeral services will be held from the residence tomorrow (Friday) morning at eleven o’clock conducted by the Rev. H. A. BLAKE and the remains will be laid to rest in the Bloomfield cemetery. The remains lay in state and were viewed by many friends from one till four o’clock this (Thursday) afternoon.
