Mrs. Jane Fordyce was born in Greene county, Pa., June 16, 1811, and died at the residence of her son, J. B. Fordyce, of Pine Bank, March 17, 1900, aged 88 years, 9 months and one day. In 1829, she was married to Corbly Fordyce, and as a result of this union twelve children were born, four of whom preceded her to the spirit world. In November, 1862, her husband died, ever since she has remained a widow. The following children survive her: Mrs. John Smith, Nettle Hill, Mrs. Thomas H. Smith, Urichsville, O., Dr. Garard Fordyce, Ancona, Ills., J. B. and J. G. Fordyce, Pine Bank, Mrs. Joshua Rice, New Freeport, Mrs. Wm. Huffman and Homer C. Fordyce, of Bluff. The deceased was a consistent member of the Bethel M. P. church and was highly respected and universally esteemed. Her piety was never called in question and her life was more than leaves of mere profession - it bore christian fruit. Grandmother's christianity was not a sham, but reality. On the 19th inst. her body was laid to rest in the family burying ground to await the resurrection morn. The funeral services were largely attended and were conducted by Rev. T. W. Colhour, assisted by Rev. J. C. Carpenter. "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth; Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them."
