Jamison, one year with her sister, Mrs. Thompson, in Kansas and also kept house for her brother at the old home for three or four years.

She was kindly spoken of, tried to do her part in the world, and will be missed. Was a member of the Bethel M. E. church, loved to attend its services. Her last illness had gradually come on for several months, but she was able to sit in her chair until the very last. She passed away August 31. Funeral services were held at Bethel by the pastor J. E. Newsom, Friday Sept. 1st, at 3:00 p. m. and burial took place in the adjoining church yard.
