RESPECTED WOMAN IS LAID TO REST
Mrs. Jane Trout Courtney, daughter of Henry and Abagail Trout, was born in Circleville, Hocking county, Ohio, August 28, 1834, being the oldest of a family of ten children. She was married to William I. Wilson in 1854, and two sons, Charles Wilson and William Wilson were born. Following the death of her husband in 1863, she moved to Arcola, Ill., where she made her home for some years. In 1864 she was married to J. B. Courtney, at Arcola, and seven children were born to the union, all of whom survive their mother. They are Mrs. Robert Wilton of Seattle, Wash., Mrs. J.A. Winker of Charleston, Mrs. Alice Winkleblack of Mattoon, George Courtney of Seattle, Wash., Harry Courtney of Mattoon, William O. Courtney of Mattoon, and Mrs. Fred Costigan of Centralia, Wash. Mr. Courtney died in this city, February 20, 1911. Other survivors are Mrs. Francis Miller of Martinsville, and Mrs. Mary Ann Trenary of Chicago, half-sisters, and two half brothers, William Mauk of Martinsville, Ill,. and Gilbert Mauk of the state of Kansas. Twenty-seven grandchildren and thirty-two great grandchildren are survivors.
Early in life she became a member of the United Brethren church an always held her membership and worshiped with this faith.
Following the death of her husband, Mrs. Courtney made her home with her daughter in Mattoon and Charleston, the great part of the time being at the home of Mrs. Winkler. She was well known to many of our citizens, being a citizen of Charleston and Coles county for over fifty years, and of the state for over sixty-five years.
Mrs. Courtney, born under the second administration of Andrew Jackson, the seventh president of the United States, has witnessed the many important changes made during her long and useful life -- from the advent of the ox drawn wagon to the present powerful steam trains, automobiles, airplanes, and other modes of rapid transit. The telephone, electric light, radio, and telegraph have all come in use during her life. Her general health remained good, her eyesight and hearing being perfect, and she was a most remarkably preserved woman, and her death occurring on St. Valentine evening came to her painlessly, simply closing her eyes and passing into her long sleep unafraid, ready and prepared to meet her Master.
The funeral services were held at the Harper Funeral Home, Eighth and Monroe streets, Monday afternoon at 2'oclock, Feb 16, with the Rev. Joseph T. Wilson, pastor of the Assembly of God church of Mattoon. The services, while simple and solemn, were impressive, owing to the presence of a large number of relatives and friends, many of whom had to brave the muddy highways and coming from a distance to attend the last rites. The floral offerings were of unusual beauty and assortment. Mrs. Joe Stone of Mattoon sang "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" and Mr. and Mrs. Sam E. Harper sang "One Sweetly Solemn Thought."
At the conclusion of the services, the casket bearers, Walter Winkler, Willis B. Winkler, and Clifford Lacey, grandsons, and C. Lee Lynch, James C. Lynch, , and Gohring A. Lynch, great grandsons, bore the casket containing the remains of their honored ancestor to the waiting hearse, and the long cortege of sorrowing relatives and friends followed the remains to their last resting place in beautiful Mound cemetery, where a brief service was held by Rev. Mr. Wilson, and Mrs. Jesse D. Andrews of Mattoon very prettily and touchingly sang... (rest of clipping is missing, but probably contained only one or two more sentences)
