Show V- -J ORANGEVILLE ar Funeral services were held Thursday over the remains of Mrs. Tora Jewkes who died at Rexburg, Idaho, last Saturday Sat-urday of leakage of the heart, preceed-ed preceed-ed by the birth of a son a short time before, her system being so weakened that she gradually succumbed. Every thing was done that could be done to save her to her borrowing family, but it was not to be. She asked, just be- fore her death, that she might be brought back to her old home for in-: in-: terment. f Sister Tora Jewkes was born in Brig-j Brig-j ham City, Utah, on the 3d day of Octo-j Octo-j ber, 1874, her parents being Jens and Caroline Nelson, who moved from that place about 27 years ago and settled in Orangeville and helped to build up the waste places. Her father died some ' years ago. She married Samuel R. ' Jewkes on the 22d of August, 1864, and was the mother of ten children, two of 1 wdiom have gone on before to the great ' beyond. She leaves surviving her an aged mother, together with her hus band, Samuel R. Jewkes, and eight children as follows: Geneva, Ivan, Gladys, Vida, Luella, CLo, Eva, and a baby boy about a month old. She was a loving wife and mother and a consistent con-sistent Latter-day Saint and lived up to the principles she espoused in her childhood child-hood and as such has gone to her reward. She also has only one sister left, Mrs. Luella Fox, of Orangeville, Utah. Funeral services were held in the meeting house on Thursday at 2 p. m., Bishop H. M. Reid in charge. The floral decorations on the casket were profuse and showed the respect in which the family was held by the community. The singing by the choir, led by Edw. P. Cox, was very appropriate. Prayer was offered by A. C. Van Buren. The speakers were Pres. A. j G. Jewkes, J. S. Curtis, J. C. Wood-j Wood-j ward of Sunnyside, and Bishop H. M. Reid. All spoke consoling and comforting comfort-ing words to the bereaved and expressed the hope of a glorious meeting in the future of loved ones who had gone on before. Benediction was offered by Counselor S. P. Snow. A large congregation con-gregation came out to pay their last respect to the departed one. Mrs. Maggie R. Jawks and son Rolla came home on Wednesday afternoon, Rolla having been in the L. D. S. hospital hos-pital for the last four weeks. He is now convalescing but is still weak on his under-pinning though he is improving verv rapidly. He had a close call, as his case was of a rare nature and one not very often met with, the doctors say. District school is now in full running order and from all reports the teachers are all giving satisfaction in their different diff-erent departments so far and we hope this condition will continue to the end. |
