OBITUARY
Mrs. Hannah Jacks, the
subject of this obituary, was born in Clinton county, Ohio, on the
26th day of July, 1820 and departed this life June 10th, 1903 at the
age of 83. She was the daughter of Joseph and Katherine Doan and
fourth child in a family of seven children. She was a sister of the
late Timothy Doan, the benevolent hearted Christian gentleman so well
known in this community in which he lived.
In 1835, she was married to Isaac Jacks. To them were
born 13 children, five boys and eight girls; all of whom lived to full
manhood and womanhood, except two girls who died in infancy.
She leaves behind five boys, the youngest of whom is 46 and oldest 68,
and two girls, the youngest being 48 and the oldest 54.
At the time of her death she had 40 grandchildren and
43 great grandchildren living.
In 1861, during revival held by Revs. Stephenson and
Middleton at the old log meeting house in Jasper township, Fayette
County, now known as Center M.E. Church, she was happily converted,
embracing the faith of Christ and was baptized.
She lived a faithful and consistent Christian until her
death. Her works of charity and benevolence were many so that it may
be said of her “This woman was full of good works which she did. She
was full of good works as a tree is full of fruit. Many are full of
words, who are empty and barren of good works. She was a great doer.
She didn’t talk great things, she lived them.”
Among other good works she was remarkable for her skill
and tact in midwifery. In that vocation, she was called far and near
and was a great blessing to all whom she attended, always receiving
the approbation of the physician in attendance.
She was not of those who had any estate wherewith to
give in charity, yet she was able to do in charity, working with her
hands and walking with her feet for the benefit of the poor. What her
hands found to do in the live of her work and calling, she did with
all her might and persevered in.
The weather was never too cold or hot or stormy for her
when her services were demanded.
A monument to her memory by her grave is immaterial.
She has built in this world by her work a monument by which she will
be remembered and succeeding generations may be laught to remember;
not where she died, but where she lived.
On Friday, June 12, 1903, at 9 o’clock a.m., the
children, relatives, and friends of the deceased assembled at her late
residence and followed her remains to the Center M.E. Church, where
funeral services were held, Rev. McNulty officiating.
His text was Mark 14:8 “She hath done what she could,”
from which having a good subject, he preached an able sermon, well
worded and well timed.
From the church the body was taken to the Sabina
cemetery, followed by a large concourse of people where with proper
ceremony it was quietly and reverently laid away to await the
resurrection day.
Her loss is greatly lamented by all who knew her, but
they need not weep for her, she is taken from among them to occupy the
place prepared for her, for Christ says “If I go away, I will prepare
a place for you. In my father’s house are many mansions.” and Paul
says “A house not made with hands eternal in the heavens”. She rests
from her labors and her works follow her. Now she is gone, but we can
think what she did while she was with us. She hath done what she
could.

| MEMOIR Lydia
Sears Jacks was born at the old Sears homestead in
Fayette county, Dec. 30, 1843. She was one of five
children, two sons and three daughters, born to Pleasant and Nancy
Sears, only one of whom, Isaac Sears, survives here. She was
reared in a home where God's name was honored, her parents being
devoted members of the M. E. church. The religious teachings
and influence of this home led her in early life to accept Christ
has her personal Saviour, and she united with the Center M. E.
church. Throughout her long life of seventy-seven years, seven
months and twenty-seven days the faith taught her in childhood was
her stay and comfort.
December 30, 1863, she was united in marriage with
David Henry Jacks, with whom she walked life's
pathway for more than half a century. Seven children were born
to them, Louella Bowmaster, Martha King, Nancy Thursbar, Hannah
Huffman, Laura Tobin and Luther and Harvey Jacks, all of whom are
still living. She is also survived by fourteen grand-children,
and two great grand-children.
Mrs. Jacks was a kindly disposed and industrious woman,
devoted to her family, and a kind-hearted neighbor and friend.
Since the death of her husband Sept. 30, 1914, she has made her home
with her daughter, Mrs. Laura Tobin, and husband, Andrew Tobin, who
have been untiring in their love, devotion and solitude for her
comfort. For the past three years her strength had been
steadily waning and she with her loved ones could but realize she
was nearing the end of her life's journey.
Saturday evening, Aug. 27th, 1821, as "Day was dying in the West
When Heaven was touching earth with rest," she lay life's
burden down and entered into her eternal rest.
"A holy quiet reigns around,
A calm which life nor death destroys;
And naught disturbs that peace profound
Which her unfettered soul enjoys.
Life's labor done, as sinks the clay;
Light from its load and earth combine to say
How blest the righteous when they die."
CARD OF THANKS.
We desire to thank our neighbors and friends for their
many kindnesses during the sickness and death of our dear mother,
for the beautiful floral offerings and all other expressions of
sympathy, and to the singers for their message of consolation in
song.

OBITUARY
OF
ELLA (JACKS) ADAMS
“So live that when thy summons comes to join that innumerable throng
which moves to that mysterious realm, that thou mayst be sustained
by an unfaltering trust, and approach they grave like one who wraps
the drapery of his covers about him and lies down to pleasant
dreams.”
Such was the life lived and the departure from this
world of Ella Adams, daughter of Eli and Nancy Jacks. She was born
in Sabina, O, Sept. 4, 1862 and departed this life February 9, 1902,
aged 39 years, 5 month, and 5 days.
During her girl life and young womanhood she was the
light of the family. Her ever joyous disposition shed a halo of
gladness about her and she was ever the solace and comforter of an
afflicted mother.
On February 13, 1884, she was happily united in
marriage to Henry Adams. To this union were born five children, two
of which in infancy preceded her to the spirit world.
On March 3, 1890, under the ministration of Rev. S. S.
Fleming, she was happily converted to God, and from thence lived a
worthy, consistent, Christian life.
At the institution of the camp of Royal Neighbors in
Sabina, she was one of its charter members. The emblems of the
order, faith, modesty, courage, unselfishness, and endurance were
compatible with her nature and were faithfully practiced. Her love
for the order and its members was ardent, and sadly will she be
missed in the council of the camp.
Just previous to her departure, she called her
relatives around her and bade each an affectionate farewell,
assuring them of her bright prospect of heaven and desiring all to
so live as to meet her there.
She leaves father, mother, husband, children, sister,
and brother to mourn the loss of a dutious daughter, as affectionate
wife, a doting mother and a loving and obliging sister, and the
community a valued neighbor.
The funeral was held in the M.P. Church, Wednesday
forenoon, sermon by Rev. W.J. Elliott, and burial services in charge
of the Royal Neighbors. Interment in the Sabina cemetery.
