Mrs. Jennie Van Housen

Mrs. Jennie Deyo VanHousen was the eldest daughter of Simeon L., and Abbie J. Deyo of Naples, and was born in Corning on December 19, 1855; her father was called to Corning as a bookkeeper and confidential clerk for a large firm, and during this temporary sojourn there, she remained three years and returned to Naples. At a proper age she commenced school in the Grimes District. She early showed a love for music and, as soon as she could compass an octave on a key board she was placed under the tuition of Miss H. Sopia Lyon until she was old enough to attend the Academy, in 1868 she there began her studies with especial facilities in music. In 1872 she graduated with honor and received her diploma. Her father then leading the singing in the M. E. Church, wishing to utilize her skill, placed her at the organ and this position she cheerfully filled until her marriage and removal to the west, then her younger sister, Addie, occupied the seat for a number of years.

On the 1st day of January 1877 Jennie married B. T. Van Housen, of Chicago, who was a former resident of Naples, and removed to that city. She always considered Naples as her home and by frequent visits kept in touch with its every interest.

Very much can be said of her as a loving daughter, wife and mother, and the entire community here can attest her worth; each heart contains a memorial drawer in which her memory is safely locked.

She is sadly missed in her western home by the rich and poor alike by the abler ones, because she was ever ready to assist in every good work, and by the needy whose well filled coal boxes at Christmas tide received her attention. Kind, good, brave and womanly we will all remember her. She died at her home in Chicago March 12, 1900, and the remains were deposited in Rose Ridge cemetery on the 15th day of that month; this was her home and here she desired to be buried, and a kind husband saw that every wish was gratified.

Her Loving father, Simeon L. Deyo.
