BADER — This week we chronicle the death notice of our esteemed friend and neighbor, Joseph Jackson. On last Monday morning at his home in Low Point, Ill., he was stricken with paralysis, and suffered until the hand of death claimed his tired body, and he found rest. He was ministered to by loving hands with tender care, but his time on earth had come and on Thursday, he passed away. Uncle Joe Jackson, as we all called him, was born near Crawfordsville, Ind., Aug. 28, 1836, and was 74 years, 2 months and 26 days at the time of death. He was married to Caroline Venters, Lancaster, about thirty-five years ago, during which all but two years they lived in Bader, the last two, in Low Point. Uncle Joe was a friend to old and young, especially the children, how well we remember his jolly disposition and his deeds of kindness, have builded hopes and his words of cheer will never be forgotten. We have confidence in God’s grace, when He says, “yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will not fear, for Thou art with me,” how beautiful to know that God has a tender care, and as a shepherd, He cares for us all. The remains were laid to rest in the Baders cemetery, Saturday afternoon in the presence of many sorrowing relatives and friends.
Those who accompanied the funeral party Saturday were, Mr. and Mrs. Cy. Hamilton, Canton, Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Seaton, Washington, Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Camp, Low Point, Mrs. Ed. Malstrom, Canton, Mrs. Paul Lancaster, Low Point.
