Jennie McKenzie Stark.
After a lingering illness and a brave struggle for life, Mrs. Jennie McKenzie Stark joined "the silent majority" at the home of her sister, Mrs. R. C. Dunn, in this village shortly after noon on the 28th ult. She had been ailing for some months at her home in Carlyle, Mont., and about five weeks ago returned to the scenes of her childhood in Spencer Brook in the hope that the change might improve her condition. A week or so later she was brought to Princeton, where she could have skillful and constant medical treatment. Her heart was badly affected, and complications that ensued therefrom caused the doctor to have but faint hopes of
her recovery. Despite the most assiduous care, careful nursing and unremitting medical attention she
gradually grew weaker until the end came as above related.
On Sunday afternoon, after a brief prayer at the Dunn residence, the re- mains were conveyed to the house
where she was born, the home of her brother, James McKenzie, in Spencer Brook, where the funeral services were held. Here a choir, under the direction of Mrs. Wellington King, rendered a couple of beautiful hymns, and a solo by the evangelist, Rev. Eric A. Fern lund, was exceedingly appropriate and impressive. A brief but feeling address was delivered by Rev. James A. Geer of the Princeton M. E. church. The interment was in the Clough burying ground. And now all that is mortal of the once bright and winsome Jennie McKenzie reposes alongside the graves of her father and mother, there to await the resurrection morn.
Jennie McKenzie was the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin McKenzie, and was born August 9, 1870. She was married to Wm. Stark in 1895. He died in Montana two years ago.
She is survived by eight children— Ralph, Benjamin, Hugh, Thomas, Edward, Lucy, Lydia and Jeanette—all
of whom were present at the funeral; by a brother, James McKenzie, and two sisters, Mrs. R. C. Dunn and Mrs. Chas. Babb.
Mrs. Stark had resided in Spencer Brook all her life until four years ago when she went to Montana with her
family. As a girl Jennie McKenzie was a general favorite, beloved by all her friends and acquaintances. She was a devoted wife and mother. Her children fairly worshiped her. Sadly, indeed, will they miss her.
