MRS. JETT

Mrs. Hannah Jett, died of old age yesterday morning at 11:50 o'clock, at the home of her son, W. C. Farnsworth, 402 East Eleventh Street.

Mrs. Farnsworth was born in Pennsylvania, October 24, 1822, being past eight-two years of age at the time of her death. She has lived at Erin, Canada; Denver, Colorado, and points in the east before taking up her residence with her son in this city.

Her children are as follows: W. C. Farnsworth, Waterloo; John Farnsworth, Fort Morgan, Colorado; George of Holland, Mich.; Mary Gage, LeRoy, New York; Nancy Carroll, Manton, Michigan.

Mrs. Jett came to Waterloo a little over two years ago. She was a Christian and died in the belief of a reward for the life she had lived on earth.

The funeral will be held at the home on Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. Cattermole, of Grace M. E. Church, officiating. Remains will be buried in Fairview Cemetery.

This researcher is totally confused by this article sometimes calling her Mrs. Jett and Mrs. Farnsworth. It is exactly as printed in the Waterloo Daily Reporter. Maybe Farnsworth is a previous husband. (?)
