Mrs. Fannie C. Twyman Was Born
at Independence and Lived
There Through the War.

Mrs. Fannie C. Twyman, one of the pioneer women of Jackson county, died at noon yesterday at the home of her son, Dr. G. T. Twyman, 402 North Pleasant street, Independence. Her illness was brief, and death was unexpected. Mrs. Twyman was 80 years of age. The funeral will take place Saturday morning at 10 o'clock from First Baptist church.

Mrs. Twyman was born at Independence, and on the 20th day of this month would have been 80 years old. She was the mother of Dr. G. T. Twyman and Frank Twyman of Independence, W. W. Twyman, Lee Twyman and Joseph Twyman of Oakland, Cal. Prior to her marriage she was Frances C. Fristoe, a daughter of Judge Richard Fristoe, one of the first judges of the county court of Jackson county. Her husband was one of the pioneer physicians of Jackson county. They were married March 22, 1848. They took up their residence in Independence for a year and then located in Pleasant Hill, afterwards returning to Jackson county and residing near Blue Millsa in the year 1850.

Mrs. Twyman was an unusually bright woman, and in earlier years was devoted to literature and religious work. She was a devout Baptist and her interest was centered in that denomination. She lived through the stirring times of civil strife in Jackson county, and her reminiscent accounts of the border warfare were entertaining to the younger generation. She and her husband suffered considerably in fortune from order No. 11, and managed to make their way to Independence in a wagon with three wheels. She was a charter member of the Baptist church, and was active in the work up to the time of her death. Her children caused to be built in the Baptist church of Independence a memorial fireplace in honor of their mother.
