BEDFORD WEEKLY MAIL BEDFORD, INDIANA FRIDAY, FEB. 7, 1902 Mrs. Jane Whitted, who lived with her son, Curtis Whitted, seven miles east of town, died Sunday evening at 5 o'clock, aged 78 years. The funeral took place at the house Tuesday at 10 o'clock a.m. Burial at Sherrill graveyard. ************** FRIDAY, FEB. 14, 1902 DEATH OF AUNT JANE WHITTED. Ellen J. Driscoll was born in Washington county, Ind., Sept. 22, 1822, died at the home of her son Curtis five miles east of Bedford, Sunday evening at 5:30 o'clock, Feb. 2, 1902, being at the time of her death 69 years, 4 months and 10 days of age. She was married to Elisha Teague in 1845. To this union was born two children, James Teague and Mrs. Josephine Whitted. Having been left a widow she was married to Jachariah (Zachariah) Whitted March 8, 1855. To this union were born seven children. The husband and five children preceded her to the grave. She united with the M. E. church when young and remained faithful to the blessed Master till death. She was always in attendance at the house of worship as long as she was able to attend in the last years of her life. She was deprived of that pleasure on account of feeble health. Her happiest hours were spent in reading the Bible. The life of the deceased was sincere and unpretentious, but intensely earnest, with all the true devotions of a wife and mother. Yet she possessed a broad humanity which was constantly asserting itself in deeds of active charity. Hundreds yet living, who have passed the crowning point in life's journey, will, upon receiving the news of her departure, recall scenes of suffering and death where her presence was a balm and benediction. She was confined to her bed for five weeks and bore her suffering without a murmur. Her faith in God and the great and precious promises of his word were with her when she died. Therefore, while our hearts are filled with sorrow because one whom we all loved has been taken away we sorrow not as those who have no hope, because we believe that all who died with faith in Christ in their hearts God will bring with him on the last day, and to all such death is but an open door to the land of light and glory, to the rest that remains for the people of God. Christ, the blessed one has called her, Over on the other shore; Up to chant with sweet voiced angels, Lovely anthems ever more. A. FRIEND. ************* CARD OF THANKS Curtis Whitted and family wish to thank their friends and neighbors for kindness shown them during the sickness and death of a dear mother and loving grandmother.
