Buried with her husband: Rev. George Cheever Jewell 1844-1916.
A WORTHY LIFE COMES TO A PEACEFUL CLOSE
(Sept 6th 1923 is written in ballpoint pen)
MRS. SUSAN JEWELL PASSED TO A WELL EARNED REWARD LAST FRIDAY.
Susan Elizabeth, the eldest child of David and Elizabeth (Williams) Wilder was born near Verona, Oneida County, New York, April 25, 1845. The father was of New England descent, the mother came from England. Five and a half years later, after two sons had been added to the family, the family, a very successful physician, died at his home in Smithville Flats, New York. The next four years the young widow and her children divided their time between the homes of the grandparents near Verona and at DeRuyter, New York. At the latter place in 1854, Mrs. Wilder married Richard Draper, a tailor who had come from England a few years before. At DeRuyter the family remained for over forty years. Here two more daughters were added to the family who with their brothers entered into rest before their eldest sister. The children attended one of the district schools of the village, various select schools, and the DeRuyter Literary Institute, one of the good academies of the period. The eldest daughter was the right hand of her mother at home, being a second mother to her youngest sister, and at times assisted her father in the shop. Later she taught in schools near DeRuyter and in surrounding towns.
On September 15, 1874, she was united in marriage with George C. Jewell who a few days later was ordained in the Presbyterian church at Parmia Center, New York. To this union two daughters were born, the Misses Frances and Susan Jewell, the later passing away in 1919. The family circle was also enlarged by the addition of the three orphan children of Mr. Jewell's sister. Two of these now remain, Mrs. Minnie Slocum of Sherburne, New York and Frank Slater of Seneca Falls, New York.
For over thirty years Mrs. Jewell cheerfully and conscientiously performed the exacting duties of a minister's wife in Congregational churches after the first at Parma Center, at Ellington, Sand Bank and Black Creek, New York; Cortland and Saybrook, Ohio; and Lewis, the Pilgrim church, Creston, Kellogg and Chester, Iowa. She was always the leader in the missionary and social work of the church and was a life member of the W.B.M.I. In 1907 her health failing, Mr. Jewell resigned his pastorate at Chester and they removed to Iowa City to be with their younger daughter who was attending the university. When she became an instructor of biology at Tabor College in 1908 they came to Tabor with her, Mr. Jewell completed life's journey in 1916. For seven and a half years they had the pleasure of making a home for Mrs. Jewell's stepfather who pasted away in 1917 at the ripe age of ninety-five.
On coming to Tabor Mrs. Jewell became a member of the Woman's Club in which she was very active until failing health made it impossible for her to attend the meetings regularly when she was made an associate member. She was always interested in the work of the church but for several years was unable to take an active part in it. Always fond of society she greatly enjoyed the calls of friends but her last years were saddened because so many had passed beyond the veil. Although crippled and often in great pain she enjoyed reading to the last hour and strongly believed in the ennobling influence of good literature, always serving as a disseminator of such among her friends. Of considerable literary and artistic ability she gave great pleasure to herself and friends, and found pleasure in life even when a shut-in. Her earthly life ended September 6, 1923.
Funeral services for Mrs. Jewell were held from the residence Saturday afternoon September 8, at three O'clock. Rev. N.W. Wehrhan of Council Bluffs, formerly president of Tabor College, and a close friend of the family, conducted the services. Mr. Wehrhan had performed this sad task at the funeral of Mr. Jewell and Muss Susan Jewell and it had been Mrs. Jewell's request some time ago that he also conduct the services at her funeral. Rev. A.B. MacLeod, pastor of the Tabor Congregational church assisted. Music was furnished by a quartet, Miss Marjorie Wilkins, Miss Alice Rhode, C. L. Hall, and F. M. Kline who sang "Sun of my Soul", "Saved by Grace" and Lead Kind Light". Members of the Womans Club of whom Mrs. Jewell was an honorary member were present at the service in a body and assisted with the flowers. There were very many beautiful floral offerings from individual friends and organizations. Messrs. H. t. Woods, A. L. Feese, Will Starrett, C. E. Jones, H. W. Parkison , and F. M. Kline acted as pall bearers. Interment was in Tabor cemetery. Those from out of town present at the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. Wehrhan and daughter, Lois, of Council Bluffs and Miss Emma Griffith of Clarinda.
