La Junta Tribune- November 12, 1926 La Junta, Colorado Death of Mrs. Anna Jobe Mrs. Anna Jobe was found dead on Thursday night shortly before 7 o�clock under rather tragic circumstances, by her son, Lester Clements, with whom she made her home. The home is in the 1800 block on South Carson avenue. Lester Clements, who is caretaker of the court house, left home about 5 o�clock Thursday morning to look after his work in the court house building. At that time his mother expressed her intention of cleaning out the irrigation ditch near the house for the purpose of running water into the stock cistern. When Mrs. Clements arose about 6:30 o�clock, Mrs. Jobe was gone and failed to put in an appearance. Mrs. Clements thought nothing of the occurrence at the time, as Mrs. Jobe often went to the home of a neighbor and spent some time. When Mr. Clements returned home in the evening and found his mother had not returned, he secured a lantern and started to search for her. He found her lifeless body lying near the banks of the irrigation ditch, she having been dead since early morning, according to all indications. She had been suffering from high blood pressure for some months, and this appears to have been the cause of death. Anna Hare was born at Hildred, Ohio, September 12, 1869, and was aged 57 years, 1 month and 22 days. On September 14, 1886 she was united in marriage to Thomas Clements, at Olathe, Kan. To this union six children were born, three of whom survive. They are Lester Clements, of La Junta; Wilbur Clements of Pueblo, and Mrs. Gladys Meddings, of Los Angeles, Calif. On February 4, 1909, Mrs. Clements was united in marriage to Mr. Ed. Jobe, who passes away February 34, 1922. The remains were cared for by King�s Undertaking Parlors, and the funeral services held Sunday afternoon from the Baptist church, conducted by Rev. P. E. Mundy. A wealth of beautiful flowers attested the esteem in which Mrs. Jobe was held by her friends and neighbors. The remains were interred in Fairview cemetery. Mrs. Jobe was a faithful member of the Baptist Church, and was always found ready to assist those in need of aid. Her friends were numbered by her acquaintances, and her passing is mourned by all. She was also a member of the Woman�s Relief Corps, the Royal Neighbors and the Knights and Ladies of Security. ** Anna was wife of Edward James Jobe s/o Thomas Jobe and Jane Summers, gs/o Edward J.
