[From Wednesday’s Daily.]
At 4 o’clock this morning at the home of his daughter, Mrs. W.S. Crips, 315 North Wapello street, occurred the death of B.W. Jeffries. Mr. Jeffries had reached the advanced age of 75 years. For the past fifty-eight years he had been a resident of this city or the immediate vicinity. Mr. Jeffries had been confined to his bed only a few days though for the past year he had been in poor health.
Mr. Jeffries was born in Kentucky September 12, 1827. His childhood days were spent in that state and in 1842 he came to Iowa with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Paul C. Jeffries, who settled in Van Buren county. Two years later, he moved with his parents to Ottumwa on May 16, 1844, and since that time he has been a resident of this city and the vicinity. On October 22, 1846, he was married to Miss Mary A. Alcock, whom he survived twenty-five years, her death having occurred March 28, 1877.
Soon after coming to Wapello county Mr. Jeffries settled on a farm, then just south of Ottumwa but which is now a part of South Ottumwa. Here is resided until about six years ago and since that time has made his home with his daughter, Mrs. W.S. Crips on North Wapello street. During the years of his residence in this city, Mr. Jeffries has been identified with all movements in the interests of Ottumwa’s good. He was a member of the Willard Street Methodist Episcopal church, with which he has been connected since it was first established as a society. During this period he has been closely identified with the interests of the church in its growth and upbuilding. He was widely known among the older residents of the city and enjoyed the highest respect and esteem of his many friends. During the past year he has been in quite poor health and on Saturday was taken with the illness which resulted in his death early this morning.
Is Survived by Five Children.
The deceased is survived by a sister, Mrs. H.B. Hendershott, and five daughters, all of whom reside in and near this city. The surviving children are Mrs. J.H. Finley, Mrs. W.S. Crips, Mrs. G.W. Hatch, Mrs. W.W. Cummings and Mrs. S.P. Crips.
