The Death of Mrs. Jane M. Fleming
Mrs. Fleming was born in Cork Ireland, on May 7, 1837.
At the age of sixteen, she crossed the Atlantic in a sailing vessel, and on that long eventful trip, she became attached to the Captain, Stephen Shaw, to whom she was married.
After the decease of Captain Shaw, she again married a sea Captain, W. D. Fleming in 1874.
Perhaps no woman has ever spent so much of life upon the "Great Deep" as did Mrs. Fleming; she had sailed across the Atlantic forth-eight timings following closely the advancing pioneers from ocean to ocean.
She cast anchor in Des Moines, Washington, about twenty-seven years ago. Since which time this has been almost continuously her home.
Enjoying almost perfect health for nearly eighty-two years, her active bright, and cheerful life was actively brought to a close last Saturday.
In the Chattenden Chapel in Kent, surrounded by beautiful flowers, the last sad rite was conducted by Mrs. Chas E. Hunt of Des Moines, in the quiet, consoling manner of Christian Science, there we saw her sweet face for the last time, then laid her to rest in Kent's beautiful cemetery.
Her son, Captain Shaw, her daughter, Mrs. Wm. Van Gasken and their children are fortunate to descend from such an intelligent, true, and loving woman.
