MRS. JANE H. WATKINS
With deep regret we note the passing away of Mrs. Jane H. Watkins, which occurred at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Charles Williams, 501 S. Grand Ave., Independence, Mo., on Sunday evening, March 27, 1921, at 8 o'clock, after an extended illness with anemia.
The remains were brought to Chariton and on Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, largely attended funeral services, conducted by Elder E. B. Morgan and Elder Parley Batten were held at the Latter Day Saints church. Interment took place in the Chariton cemetery by the side of her husband.
Jane H. Roberts was born in Pottsville, Penn., on January 30, 1853. From there she moved to Canton, Ill., where on March 5, 1874, she was united in marriage to John J. Watkins, who was laid to rest three years ago on Feb. 9, 1918, at Chariton.
To this union nine children were born, a son dying in infancy and a daughter at the age of fourteen. She leaves to mourn two daughters, Mrs. Sarah J. Cochran and Mrs. Louise Williams, of Independence, Mo.; and five sons, Thomas J., John, Evan and Alma, of Independence, Mo.; and David H., of Albia; and sixteen grandchildren.
She is also survived by her mother, Elizabeth R. Davis, of Chicago, Ill., who is 90 years of age; three sisters, Mrs. Elizabeth Rolands, of Spokane, Wash.; Mrs. Mary Franklin, of Kewanee, Ill.; and Mrs. Dan Batten, of Chicago; three brothers, John Davis, of Stewartsville, Mo.; and Thomas and David Davis, of Bisbee, Ariz.; other relatives and a host of friends.
About 1878 Mr. and Mrs. Watkins came to Iowa, locating at Lucas, where they resided with the exception of a few years spent in Canton, Ill., until the death of Mr. Watkins in 1918. Since that time she has made her home with her children.
Since early girlhood she had been a member of the Latter Day Saints church, and had ever been an active and faithful worker. She was a noble woman, a devoted mother and a kind neighbor, and was beloved by all who knew her. Her demise will be deplored by a host of friends in Chariton and vicinity, who will extend sincere sympathy to the bereaved children and aged mother and the brothers and sisters who remain.
