Mrs. Jennie Fullerton French was born in Saratoga County, N.Y., June 10, 1848, and departed this life at her home in Ray, Ind., April 13, 1918, aged 69 years, 10 months and 3 days.
She was a member of a family of 9 children, two of whom survive her, Charles Fullerton of Fort Dodge, Iowa and Miss Martha Fullerton of Pawnee City, Neb.
She spent the first ten years of her life in the East and then moved with her parents to Waterman, Ill. She was married to Mitchel French, March 13, 1878, who went to his heavenly home January 12, 1892. They lived in the West the first 12 years of their married life and came to Ray, Ind., September 12, 1890.
To this union were born 5 children, two of whom have gone to the spirit land - Mabel, who died January 5, 1907 and Taylor, who died March 28, 1910.
In her early girlhood she became a member a member of the United Presbyterian church at Somonauk, Ill. She united with the Reformed Presbyterian church at the time of her marriage and a year ago changed her membership to the M.E. church.
She was a great worker in the Women's Christian Temperance Union giving much of her time and strength to the advancement of the Dept., being both local and county Superintendent of the Purity Dept. for many years.
She was a lover of her bible and leaned upon the promises; especially those to the widows and orphans in the trying days that followed the death of her husband. The 103rd Psalm was a special favorite of hers, the first verse of which reads, "Bless the Lord, O! My Soul and all that is within me bless his holy name."
In her dying hours she was often heard to say My Lord! My Lord! and told the dear ones at her bedside, "All was well with her soul."
The past year has been one of failing health for her and it has been about three months since her illness took a critical form and she knew her time on earth was growing short, but her faith grew firm in the Rock of Ages and her hope of eternal life, which was anchored within the veil grew brighter.
She leaves to mourn their loss one brother, one sister; her daughter Maude and husband; two grandchildren Mable and Muriel Elizabeth Iverson of Coldwater, Mich.; her two sons, Charles and Ralph of Ray, Ind.; besides other relatives and many friends.
The funeral was held at the R.P. Church in Ray, Rev. R.R. Thompson officiating, assisted by Rev. McCreary. The beautiful floral offerings witness to the high esteem in which the deceased was held. Burial was made in the Covenantor Cemetery.
