Nancy B. Jackson was born in Green county, East Tennessee January 1, 1839 and died June 17, 1904, aged 65 years, 5 months and 16 days. She was reared in a family of twelve children, eight of whom preceded her to the other world. During their pilgrimage here their homes were evidently separated, but one by one they are crossing the river of death and assembling on the eternal above.

She was united in marriage August 4, 1874 with James A. Rhyno. To this union were born four girls, one dying in infancy, one in childhood, the others Mrs. Nellie Berry, and Miss Mercedes, with the father survive her.

During her marriage in her old home, she immediately accompanied her husband to Iowa and since continued to reside on their farm near Hanley, which was her home when death overtook her. Sister Rhyno was very much devoted to her family, and having enjoyed the educational advantages to be obtained in Greenville, Tenn., she was a helpful, wise, congenial and loving companion and mother.

I am glad to say her attitude toward Jesus was such that we are not compelled to mourn as those who have no hope. She was converted to God in her fourteenth year and united with the M. E. church South. After coming to Iowa she united with the Methodist Episcopal church of which she was a member at the time of her death.

During her last illness of about fifteen days duration she suffered intense agony at intervals, but enjoyed the blessed consciousness of her acceptance with God. On Tuesday morning after rallying from a sinking spell she said, “I will not be here long. I am passing through the valley of the shadow of death.” “Let us be calm, be brave and help me to bear this, I am not afraid to die, but (Holding up her hand) I hate to think of that hand turning to stone.” When asked if she desired to send any word to her sisters she said,” Tell them they know where to find me, for I have not only hope, but a blessed assurance, oh yes, and there are so many over there waiting for me.”
