XENIA DAILY GAZETTE AND TORCHLIGHT TUESDAY EVENING - JANUARY 26, 1897 XENIA, OHIO GREENE COUNTY MRS. JOHN H. JOBE Passing away of a loved and highly respected lady Mrs. John H. JOBE, after many weeks of illness from that dread disease, typhoid fever, closed her eyes in rest and peace at 8:35 o'clock this morning at her home on the Jamestown Pike this morning. To her many friends in this county the news will come with a great shock, for she was held in universal respect and esteem by all, and many will be deeply saddened by the tidings. She had been confined to her bed for 19 weeks lacking just 1 day, and about 2 weeks ago suffered a relapse, being attacked by la grippe in addition to typhoid fever, and in her weakened condition was unable to over come the disease. She was conscious and able to recognize her friends and relatives up to about 5 o'clock last evening. Before marriage the deceased was Miss Nancy E. COLLINS. She was the daughter of Mr. Samuel COLLINS, who died a number of years ago, and her mother, Mrs. Rebecca COLLINS, survives her, and is a resident of North Galloway Street, this city. The deceased was born in Greene County on February 23, 1837, and was a resident of the county all her life of nearly 60 years. Her marriage to Mr. John H. JOBE was solemnized in August 1859. Of this union 7 children were born, 2 of whom are deceased. Those living are Geo. E., of Selma; Chas. L. and John Riley, of the well known dry goods firm of JOBE Bros. of this city; Miss Belle and H. Homer at home. Her husband also survives. She also leaves the following brothers and sisters: Wm. H., John Q., and James M. COLLINS all of Xenia. Mrs. J.D.M. STEWART, of West Main Street, and Miss Anna COLLINS of North Galloway street, this city. Mrs. Belle WILLIAMSON, wife of S.K. WILLIAMSON , of Cedarville. The deceased for many years had been a member of the first U.P. Church of this city, and lived an upright christian life, doing good deeds and winning the love and respect of neighbors and friends who will long cherish her memory. No funeral services will be held at her late residence. The remains will be brought to the home of her son, Mr. Charles L. JOBE, of East Market Street, where services will be held on Thursday morning. Owing to the illness of Miss Belle JOBE, the daughter of the deceased, who is very ill with typhoid fever, from which she has been suffering for 2 weeks past, the services will be private. Debbie I have no connection with the JOBE surname. I found this obit and thought it might be of interest to someone on this list. ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!
