LINDSEY.” [Transcribed 6 Feb2001 from Bloomfield-Eastern Greene County Public Library’s IHS Microfilm Records.] Mary Jane SMITH was born April 12, 1836, near Byersville, Guernsey County, Ohio and died May 31, 1923, aged eighty-seven years, one month and nineteen days. She was married to Benjamin F. LINDSEY in 1856. To this union were born seven children—Martha, who died in infancy; Mrs. Lissa BAKER, of Solsberry; Mrs. Jessie MCLAUGHLIN, of Bloomfield; Mrs. Etta CALLAND, of California; Mrs. Lizzie CARTER, of Illinois; Mrs. Laura CRANE, of Solsberry, and James Edward, who was laid to rest one week ago today. She confessed her faith in her Savior in her early womanhood, and later joined the M. E. church at Solsberry. It is needless to say she was a Christian, for her life’s work speaks for itself. I can be truly said “she hath done what she could.” Her greatest enjoyment was to look after the welfare and happiness of her family. Her life was devoted to them. She had in raising her family, cared for and looked after the needs of motherless children and raised as adopted son, John W. WISENSTINE. In the fall of 1862, she with her husband and three little children, moved near Solsberrry, where she resided her remaining days. Her work on earth is done, but the good lessons she has taught, and her exemplary life, will live on to be cherished by her loved ones. The funeral services, conducted by Rev. E. E. ALDRICH, pastor of the M. E. church of Bloomfield, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. John E. MCLAUGHLIN, and by Elder T. A. COX in the M. E. church at Newark on Friday, June 1, 1923, after which this mother in Israel was laid to rest beside her husband in the Newark Cemetery, “to wait till Jesus comes.” — We desire to express our thanks and appreciation of the kindness, sympathy and help shown us during the illness and after the death of our dear mother and grandmother, Mary Jane LINDSEY; also for the many beautiful flowers, and to each and every one who assisted in any way in our sad hour of bereavement. Mr. and Mrs. J. E. MCLAUGHLIN And Family. Mrs. Chelnissa BAKER, Mrs. Etta CALLAND Mrs. Elizabeth CARTER MRS. Laura CRANE. Link: [Link to the Obituary of her husband, Benjamin F.
