Obituary
Ida E. Jacobs was born in Ashtabula county, Ohio, July 14, 1859, and passed away on January 1, 1922.
At the age of twelve years, she came with her parents to Andrew county, MO, where they lived a year and a half and then moved to Nebraska, landing on the Jacobs homestead on May 3, 1873.
She was married to Stephen Northrop July 12, 1876. To this union were born six sons and one daughter. The oldest son, Burton L., and the youngest, Austin gleen, preceded her home going.
From early life she was a faithful Christian and always ready to do her full share of work in church and Sunday school. For years she was a teacher or superintendent of the Sunday school and always stood firmly for what she believed to be right. Outstanding traits of her character were generosity, loving service and kindly deeds to those about her. Her active work outside of home did not cease until failing health compelled her to stop. Her long and painful illiness was borne with a cheerful patience beautiful to witness. The "summons" to a better life came at her home in Holt county, where the family moved in the spring of 1912.
She awaits the coming of her husband, four sons, Carl H. of Cody, Neb.; Nelson A. of Inez, Neb.; Ray E. of Atkinson, Neb.; Merle B. of Norfolk, Neb.; one daughter, Mrs. Pearl Buhrer of Horton, Kan.; two brothers, Charles H. of Hayward, Okla.; Nelson E. of Edgar, Neb.; one sister, Mrs. Lula A. Smith of Horton, Kan. A foster son and daughter, Emma and Henry Bear, were tenderly cared for and shared with her own children a mother's loving interest.
"This death, the thought of which turns us so cold, Outside of our own fears has no stronghold. 'Tis but a boundary past which, lost in light, Our friends are walking still, just out of sight."
The friends of the family extend sincere sympathy to them in their sorrow.
Funeral services were held in the Methodist church at Edgar at two o'clock Wednesday, January 4, conducted by the pastor, Rev. William Boyer. Words of comfort were spoken based on the inspired deelaration "Having abolished death and brought life and immortality to light, thru the gospel." The Hymns "Asleep in Jesus," "Savior, Piolt Me" and "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere," were sung by a quartet, Messrs, Cushing and Ward, Mrs. Shipley and Miss Hungerford, Miss Graul, pianist. the pall bearers were Mrs. Northrop's nephew; Oren, Otto, Frank and Clinton Northrop, Wesley and Vernon Jacobs.
The body was laid to rest in the Edgar cemetery.
