Decatur County Journal
Thursday, February l, l9l7

JANE L. HILL was born August l8, l835, in New York, and died January 8, l9l7, at the home of her daughter, MRS. I.C. NORMAN, where she had resided since the death of her husband nearly a year ago. She was married to TRUMAN STOREY. To this union were born three children, one dying in infancy; MRS. EMMA RICHARDS, of Lincoln, Nebraska, dying in l898; N.I. STOREY, of Lincoln, Neb., who was at her bedside at the time of her death.

In the year l86l, she was left a widow, her husband dying while in the Army in the year, l865. She was united in marriage to REV. W. ROBB. To this union were born ten children, three dying in infancy. Her surviving children are E.E. ROBB, of Woodland, Ia.; MRS. CHAS. AKES, JR., of Leon, Iowa; MRS. I.C. NORMAN, of Decatur, Iowa; F.C. ROBB, of Morrill, Neb.; WILSON ROBB, of Wapello, Iowa; MRS. J.W. CLYDE, of Bartley, Neb.; J.E. ROBB, of Glenwood, Ia. All were present at her funeral except F.C. ROBB, who was ill and not able to be present. She had twenty-seven grandchildren and three great-grandchildren, who mourn the loss of a patient and loving mother.

Sister ROBB was converted to Christ while quite young and joined the M.E. Church but later united with the M.P. Church, and continued faithful to the Lord and her church until death called her from labor to reward. The body was brought back to Osceola for funeral and burial. On account of work on the interior making the church unfit for use, through the kindness of our M.E. Brethren, used their church for the services which were conducted by her Pastor, Rev. J.C. Leonard, assisted by Rev. E. Tillotson, after which the body was laid by the side of her husband in the beautiful Maple Hill Cemetery, there to await the resurrection morn. The bereaved have the sympathy of the community in their hour of sorrow and loss.

Dear Mother, thou has gone before us;

We no more thy voice shall hear;

Gone to that bright world above us,

Free from every pain and care.

Yes, we know that God is wisdom;

Brings affliction to us all;

And we humbly bow before Him,

Wait to hear His tender call.

List! Oh, hear the angel welcome,

As our dear one soars above;

And we know that God has taken

Her to dwell where all is love.
