OBITUARY

On August 25, 1891, forty-two years ago, today, Jennie Nancy Beals came to gladden the home of her parents, Thomas J. and Ruth Parker Beals, near Newton, Iowa.

In her early childhood the family moved to the Bear Creek neighborhood near Earlham, Iowa, and later removed to Earlham. With the exception of a year spent in Kansas, practically all her life she has lived in this vicinity.

She was a birthright member of the Friends church. When about twelve years old, she sought and found her Savior and later she accepted Him in His fullness, dedicating her life to Him. Since then she strove to follow in the steps of her Master.

Just before the midnight hour August 22, her body was released from its suffering and the spirit winged its way to its maker.

She leaves to mourn their loss the mother, one brother Will S. of Cheteke, Wisconsin, and a sister Amy Beals and a number of relatives and friends. Her father and two sisters Rosa and Minnie preceded her in death.
