Obituary - Lovilia Press April 2, 1908
JANE FINDLEY HENDERSON
Jane Findley was born in Blount Co., TN, September 21, 1821, died March 28, 1908, age 86 years, 6 months and 7 days. She moved with her parents to Putnam Co., IN in 1830. In 1840 she was married to Robert Henderson and with him moved to Missouri about 1844. In 1845 they moved to Iowa and settled on a farm in Union Township where she lived for 62 years.
To this union were born nine children, of whom four are still living, Mrs. Mary Stewart, James, Will and Joe Henderson. For 22 years she has made her home with Joe and family who patiently and tenderly cared for her during this time. She was one that knew what sorrow was, having trod this earth without her companion. The first death came to the family in December 4, 1873 when Ella was called away, and two months later John and in August 1876 her companion, two months later Elizia was called, in Feb. 1878 Mrs. John Knight and three months later Jane. In less than five years six had left this world for the world beyond. But when the last daughter was taken out of the home, only those with her daily knew with what fortitude she bore it. On her sad sweet face was written, "I must not meumeu, God knows best, He has left me something yet to love". She had one married daughter and three sons whom she cared for with a mother love. At the death of the daughter, Mrs. John Knight, Ollie (now Mrs. Will Byerley) came to live with her and gave her motherly care where she remained until her marriage. Her only daughter and three sons living near her were at her bedside during her last illness until the summons came that called her home.
Although not a member of any church we have reason to believe from the life she lived while here that she was a christian and from the testimony she gave to a friend a few months ago that she felt prepared to meet her God and was ready and willing to go whenever she was called.
She leaves to mourn her departure 4 children, 24 grandchildren, 26 great-grandchildren, one brother and a host of relatives and friends.
Funeral services were held at the Union M.E. Church, Sunday, March 29, at 11 o'clock a.m. conducted by Rev. B.G. Hankins. Interment in the Union Cemetery.
