Pub in the Paxton, IL, Record on Thurs Aug 13, 1891 - JESSE B STRAIGHT - Died at his home in this city on Saturday morning, Aug 8th, Jesse B. Straight, aged 85yrs. To those who have known of Mr Straight's condition since his return to this city some 2yrs since, the announcement of his death will be no surprise. The infirmities of old age had reduced him to entire helplessness, and dimmed the mind which in earlier days was bright and active. For many years previous to his removal to Indiana, he had resided in this city and enjoyed the esteem of all our citizens. His life had been long and useful and he goes to the reward of a well spent life. He was born in West Virginia where he was married to Miss Adah Henry in 1829. 10 children, 6 girls and 4 boys, blessed this union, of whom two sons and all the daughters survive him. Of the surviving children, Edgar lives in Pullman and was present at the funeral last Monday, Van Buren resides in Denver, Mrs H. Barnhouse in Ironton, MO, Mrs Kelly and Mrs Baumgartner (sic) in Kansas and Mrs E. L. Gill and Miss Mollie Straight are of this city. The devotion shown by the latter in caring for her aged father in his declining years finds few parallels. Mr Straight and all his sons entered the union army near the beginning of the war and served until its close, with the exception of Telford, familiarly know as 'Doc", who was discharged on account of injuries he received. At the close of the war, in 1865, he removed with his family to this place where he remained about 10yrs, when he went to Indiana, returning here 2yrs ago broken in health, and has since been a helpless invalid, largely owing to the death of his wife with whom he had lived for nearly 60yrs, and his son, Telford, to both of whom he was greatly attached. His remains were conveyed to Crawfordsville, IN, on Monday last and buried beside those of his wife and son, there to rest until the sleeping dead shall be summoned on the last day.
