Daughter of John Jackson Jarman and Agnes Weatherhead. Married to William Christian Shearer 29 Sept.1863.
OBITUARY: Nancy Frances Jarman was born in Madison county, Ky., May 3, 1842, and died at her home in Unionville, Mo., Feb. 6, 1926. In 1851 her father moved his family in Putman county, Mo., and she grew to womanhood only a few miles from the home of her mature years. She was united in marriage to William Christian Shearer in 1863. Their home was blessed with three daughters: Lola Agnes, Nina and Nettie Will who died at the age of four. Frail in body for several years past, the shock of the sudden death of her beloved daughter, Mrs. W. O. Robbins, was too much for even her indomitable spirit, and she has slipped away from us to await our later coming. She is survived by one daughter, Miss Nina Shearer; one foster daughter, Mrs. P. W. Porter; on sister, Mrs. John Gray, all of Unionville, Mo.; one brother, G.J. Jarman, of Gallatin, Mo.; and a host of friends. Widowed by the early death of her husband, and with two small children to support, Mrs. Shearer bravely set her hand to the task left her rearing her daughters to worthy womanhood. She later took into her home a niece, now Mrs. P. W. Porter, to whom she gave the same measure of care and devotion as that accorded her own children, and she constantly found time to reach out a helpful hand and to be an influence for good in the lives of scores of young people. It is written that as we sow so shall we reap. During a life of more than average duration this wonderful woman and mother has sown constantly the seeds for a glorious harvest. Seeds of loving kindness she has scatterd with a generous hand. The wide circle of her friends and neighbors are recalling today the sweet smile, the gentle spoken word of encouragement, the helpful deed. Seeds of a broad belief in humanity, seeds of patience, perseverance, and the perpetuation of ideals. Seeds of tolerance for the rights and opinions of others are among those sown for the harvest of eternity. Never was there more faith in the innate goodness of mankind, more patience under pain and sorrow, more untiring effort toward the attainment of her ideals, more charity for the frailties of human nature than was exemplified in this fine brave life. Her love of the beautiful was almost a religion in itself. Appreciation of beauty of character and the fine things of life came first, then the beauties of the world about her. The grand and magnificent works of nature and the smallest flowers and plants shared equally in her love. Her artistic soul found expression in her daily life, and made her that finest of great artists-- the perfect homemaker. Her most illuminating characteristic was her fine religious fervor. To those watchers privileged to sit by her bedside during her last hours the memory of her beautiful prayer will remain. She went into the Valley of the Shadow rejoicing in the love of the Savior. Her passing is as the close of a serene and lovely day. After the heat and toil of the noontide came the calm and rest of the evening. Then as the setting sun leaves behind a glorious light and color that reaches and touches even the farthest clouds, so does the close of this life leave a wonderful afterglow of beautiful memories and tender influences that reach beyond our mortal pen. We, who must remain to finish our labors here, can only wait as patiently as she would have us wait, knowing that "Life is even Lord of death, and Love can never lose its own."
