DIED--Of heart disease at Grand River, Decatur County, Iowa, June l3,
l890 at 2:45 p.m., MRS. LOUISA JENNINGS, 65 years.

MRS. JENNINGS was born on the week of April, l835, in Franklin County,
Pennsylvania.  She was the only living child of MR. and MRS. DAVID
RIKER.  When she was yet fourteen years old her mother died, and six
years later she went with her father to Knox County, Illinois.  And on
the 7th of October, l855, she was married to her bereaved husband, MR.
SCHUYLER C. JENNINGS.  She came to Decatur County, Iowa with her husband
and father October 25, l866, and settled for a short time in Funktown;
then they moved to their present residence at Grand River, where she
spent the rest of her life.  Early in life she joined the German
Reformed Church, but when she came to Illinois she joined the
Presbyterian Church.

MRS. JENNINGS was the mother of seven children, namely; MARY, JENNIE,
DAVID, EMMA, (now MRS. MCGINNIS), IOWA, SCHUYLER and EDITH.  The first
child died May 20, l879, at the age of nineteen.

MRS. JENNINGS spent her lifetime in good health, but for nearly eight
years she had frequent troubles of the heart.  However, she was always
active and attended to her duty.  The day before her death, she drove
with MISS MARY DAILY to Westerville, where she spent the day visiting
with her friends.  She rested well that night, and never for many months
had she felt better than the morning of her death.  She called JENNIE,
her daughter, and told her that she was feeling very much refreshed
after her trip to Westerville.  All that afternoon her mind was active,
and she talked to her children with unusual cheerfulness, as if she
perceived the happiness awaiting her.  She attended to her morning work
with added energy.  Her last hours were marked by clearness and
elevation of mind.  At noon she was at the dinner table when the
messenger of God came and called her away.  The heart failed to beat,
and she passed away peacefully within a few minutes.

MRS. JENNINGS was a devoted wife and a noble mother.  She raised her
children in the fear of the Lord.  She was an active member of the
Presbyterian Church at Grand River, and faithfully attended the public
worship in the sanctuary.  She was a generous, open-hearted Christian
lady; trusting in the Lord in all her toils and trials, and it was
always well with her no matter what the circumstances were.  Her home
has always been open to welcome her many friends--a place of good cheer
for all worthy comers and goers.  The death of MRS. JENNINGS is a great
loss to the church, to her large circle of acquaintances and to her
family.

The funeral was largely attended in the Presbyterian Church at Grand
River, Saturday, June l4th at 2 p.m., after which the remains were
carried to the Funktown Cemetery, and were laid in the family's lot
beside her daughter.

May the consolation of Divine Grace be generously bestowed upon the
bereaved husband and children, who bore their lot bravely.  They have
the deep sympathy of all their friends.

The funeral was attended by the writer.
                                         REV. M.E. BARAKAT.
