This lady was Mrs. Jane Van Voorhis, mother of John Van Voorhis, and sister of Capt. Robert Phillips of this city. Mrs. Van Voorhis for some weeks had been a suffere from grippe, but within a few days past seemed to regain her usual health and spirits. Her granddaughters spent Friday with her and found the old lady cheerful and well, making merry their day by her lively ways and witty sayings. Saturday night she retired as usual; about 1:00 her daughter, Mrs. Snyder, was called to the bedside by a moan, and horrified to find her mother dying. The physician pronounced it neuralgia of the heart. Jane Phillips was b. in 1810, was m. Nov. 28, 1829, to Abram Van Voorhis. Seven children were b. to them, 3 of whom have been dead some years. Lucinda, Serena, and Eliza, (Mrs. Thornton Watkins). The 4 living are John Van Voorhis, of this city; Emaline, Mrs. Joseph Brown, of Peabody, KS, Mrs. Caroline Jones and Mrs. Cynthia Snyder, of Baidland. Since her husband's death, some years ago, Mrs. Van Voorhis made her home near her son John on the old home place in Carrol township, but at his removal to town, went to live with her daughter Cynthia, from whose home in Baidland she will be laid to rest in the Van Voorhis cemetery. Mrs. Van Voorhis was a frequent visitor with her son's family here and has made many Monongahela friends. Her erect figure and sweet face framed in a wealth of snow white hair were always admired, and it seemed as if time had but lightly touched the energetic, intelligent woman, whose 83 years have been weighted with loving thought and deed for those nearest and dearest to her. Almost all her life a consistent christian she sleeps the sleep that the Master giveth his beloved.
