DEATH OF MRS. ARRASMITH
A Palouse Pioneer of More Than a Quarter Century
Mrs. Jane Arrasmith, a pioneer of the Palouse country, died December 28 at the old homestead where she had lived for 26 years and was buried in Bethel cemetery December 20, Rev. W. R. Lloyd of Spokane officiating. She was 77 years of age. The Arrasmiths are a numbers family and are among the oldest and best known in the county.
Jane Taylor Arrasmith was born near Knoxville, Tenn., May 23, 1829. When she was four years old her parents moved to Sullivan county, Missouri, where, at the age of 21, she was married to Henry Arrasmith.
During the summer of 1864 they crossed the plains and settled in Linn county, Oregon, a few years later moving to eastern Oregon near Pendleton.
In the spring of 1881 they came to this state, then a territory, and settled on the homestead four miles east of Colfax, where she lived until her death, having survived her husband about five years.
She was the mother of eight children, seven of whom survive her. They are John (state grain inspector of Washington), Jacob, Peter and Henry Arrasmith, Mrs. G. A. Draper, Mrs. N. Gillam and Mrs. J. Finch. She also leaves 37 grandchildren and five great grandchildren to mourn her loss.
Grandma Arrasmith, as she was familiarly known, was converted at an early age and joined the M. E. church, but later united with the United Brethren, remaining a member until her death. She lived a consistent Christian life with God's blessing continually in her hear, and was ready to go when the summons came, almost her last words being "Jesus is coming for me." She was a faithful and loving wife and mother, a true friend and was beloved by all who knew her.
