Jumper, A. Jackson

A. J. Jumper, a respected citizen of Richland Township for over thirty years, died at his home north of Lynnville at 11:30 o’clock last Friday morning, July 8th, aged 63 years. His death was very sudden and caused a feeling of gloom throughout his neighborhood. He was prostrated by heat on Wednesday, followed by violent illness from which he never rallied ­ death ending his sufferings on Friday morning. Mr. Jumper was a native of Maryland. In 1858 he was married to Miss Susannah Bailey in Mercer County, Ill., who with three daughters survive him ­ Mrs. Sarah Malloy of Freeport, Ill., Mrs. Florence Poots of Kansas, and Mrs. Jane Snyder in Richland Township.

Mr. Jumper was known among his neighbors as a straight-forward, honest and conscientious man and a Christian in the truest sense. The funeral was held at the Bethel M. E. Church Saturday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Colyer of Lynnville.
