JANE NIXON.
On Friday, Nov. 28, Mrs. Jane Nixon, after great suffering, passed to her unending rest.
Mrs. Nixon was born in England, and was brought to this country by her parents in her infancy. Her maiden name was Menhennett. Her father was a mason by trade and filled the office of local preacher in the Methodist Episcopal church very acceptably for a number of years. He is remembered by the older citizens of this community and is spoken of always in words of commendation. He had five children, two only of whom are now living.
In 1862 Jane Menhennett was married to Geo. Nixon at Como, and soon after moved to Hancock.
She was a great sufferer for years from asthma, and at one time went west in hopes of finding relief, but was disappointed and returned to Hancock. Here for several years past, this trouble comparatively left her. Last January she had a severe attack of the grip, which developed sciatica, from which she has been a constant sufferer since. Two or three weeks ago she caught a heavy cold which developed into typhoid pneumonia, and death came to her release at 4 o'clock Friday last.
Mrs. Nixon was converted when only 15 years of age, and has been a faithful and respected member of the Methodist church ever since. Her home was her sphere, and she devoted all the energies of her life to make it an attractive place to those who shared it with her.
Her funeral services were held in the Methodist church on Sunday afternoon and were largely attended. Her pastor, Rev. F.D. Abrams, preached from Heb. 4.0. "There returneth a rest to the people of God," an appropriate and com??? sermon. [Illegible]
She leaves a husband and two daughters, who have the sympathy of their many friends.
