Kevan, Mrs. Jean Taylor (1824 - 1907)
The subject of this obituary, Mrs. Jean Taylor Kevan was born in Paisley, Scotland in October, 1824. Along with some relatives, she emigrated to American in 1842, living for some time in Saco, Maine, from Saco she went to Newberg, New York, and worked in the cotton mills there for some time and was there united in marriage to Mr. Charles Kevan.The newly wedded couple began their wedded life on a farm near Waukesha, Wisconsin, and after living there a few years they removed to Chicago and later purchased a farm in Whiteside county, Illinois, where they lived until 1868; selling out the farm in Illinois they purchased a larger tract of land near Joplin, Missouri and lived there until 1875; the family then came to Dow City, Iowa where Mrs. Kevan made her home till after her daughter's marriage to Mr. P. W. Harding, having made her home with Mr. And Mrs. Harding in Charter Oak and Denison where she peacefully passed away on the 8th day of March 1907, at the ripe old age of 82 years and six months.
Mr. Chas. Kevan, the husband of the deceased, passed away in Charter Oak, Iowa in November, 1894.
To Mr. And Mrs. Kevan were born five children, of whom four survive; three sons and one daughter; one daughter, the third child in the family dying in childhood. The survivors are James, who lives in Kansas, William living near Dow City, Robert living in Ferguson, Marshall County, Iowa and the youngest Mrs. P. W. Harding, living near Denison, Iowa.
Mrs. Kevan was a loving wife, an indulgent mother, and a faithful friend. She was a home-maker and had an unwearied interest in the welfare of her family. Mrs. Harding, being the youngest of the children, has been a constant companion of her mother, the two being inseparable in their fellowship and care of each other.
Mrs. Kevan inherited the noble traits of her character from the sturdy Scotch ancestry from which she sprung; her grandfather, Wallace being a Congregational minister and her cousin, Robert Graham, being a minister of the Established Church of Scotland. So all her early years she was surrounded with the best of influences; which bear rich fruitage in her later years.
On coming to Dow City she united with the Methodist church as there was no church of her choice within reach. She had always favored the Congregational church but was willing to unite with God's people and forward the interests of the cause wherever she was living. Mrs. Kevan was also an ardent advocate of temperance and ready at all times to stand boldly forth for what was right and just. She was also a strenuous advocate of Civic Righteousness and openly advocated the enforcement of laws for the protection of the citizen by the officers placed in power by towns for the protection of the youth in all communities.
Much sympathy is felt for the surviving sons, daughter and grandchildren by all who were acquainted with the deceased and emulation of her virtues and character is the desire of all who had the pleasure of her acquaintance.
The funeral services were held in the M. E. church at Dow City so that the last obsequies were held among her former friends. She was laid to rest beside her husband in the cemetery west of town. The Rev. Thurreson of Denison preached an eloquent sermon being assisted by Rev. Curtis and Rev. Wolcott.
A quartet from Denison rendered excellent music. A large congregation showed their sympathy to a former neighbor by their presence and beautiful floral tributes made the church look pretty and added testimony of a coming resurrection and reunion in a better world.
