Joanna was the daughter of Daniel Cook and Catherine Pierson. She married Andrew Engle Pease on 7 Mar 1830 in Mansfield, OH. They were the parents of 11 children: Francis Lawrence (1831-1915), Mary Catherine (1832-1921), Willis Merriman (1834-1915), James Miller (1836-1836), Daniel Pierson (1837-1838). Edith May (1839-1948), Hugh Anderson, Flora (1844-1844), Retta (1844-1844), Marion Walter *1846-1928), and Belle (1846-1846).
The Colfax Weekly Clipper - Friday, March 17, 1893, page 4 - Passed to spirit life from the home of her daughter, Mrs. C.C. Turner, Sunday, March 12, 1893, Joanna M. Pease; aged 83 years, 5 months and 9 days. An impressive burial service was conducted by Rev. C.C. Harrah, of Newton, on Monday, March 13 and her mortal remains now rest in Poweshiek cemetery.
This daughter of Daniel and Catharine P. Cook was born in Washington county, Pa., Oct. 4, 1809; in 1815 emigrated with her parents to Richland county, Ohio, and in 1839 was married to Andrew Pease.
To them were born eleven children, six of whom survive the mother: Mrs. M.C. Turner, Mrs. E.M. Fish, Frank, Willis, Hugh and Marion Pease, residing in Colfax and vicinity. In 1856 this family came to Jasper county, Iowa. In the war of the rebellion three of her sons responded to their country's call, and her husband enlisted as a member of Company I 37th Regiment (Iowa Grey Beards). He died at Alton, Ill., Jan 10, 1864, in the discharge of his duty – guarding rebel prisoners.
During her 28 years of widowhood she has made her home with Mr. and Mrs. Turner. In the year 1835 she united with and was one of the charter members of the Congregational church of Mansfield, Ohio, composed of members of the Presbyterian church and others who represented the anti-slavery element and temperance movement, desired to organize for active work in that direction, and in other fields of more progressive thought. For the last forty years of her earth life she has believed and practiced the religion and ethics of Spiritualism.
Her life has been one of varied experience as a pioneer. Her infancy and early childhood was spent among the majestic hills of Pennsylvania, and her early womanhood amid the almost unbroken forests of the Buckeye State. And again past the meridian of life a new home was built on the prairies of Iowa. She was ever loyal to her adopted state, always loving the wild beauty that surrounded her, its billowy grass, beautiful flowers, pure air, clear skies and golden sunsets. A lover of nature she worshiped God through this great unbound volume which to her was a constant revelation.
This mother was remarkably well preserved in body and mind – retaining her sight and hearing to the last. Possessing a bright intuitive mind, a retentive memory and being a great reader, her sympathies were as much enlisted in all the reforms for the good of humanity as in her earlier years. We can truly say "She hath done what she could." She has wrought for others. Rocked children's cradles and with her soft sweet lullaby brought rest and sleep to many a weary little one. Her light magnetic touch and helpful, cheerful presence was sunshine and healing in the hour of sickness and affliction, dropping balm into many a wounded heart. The motherhood of her soul is not lost in transition. She will continue to be the same loving mother, guide and counselor in the homes and hearts of her children. What the world calls death, to her was only going home, and has restored in her "the loved and lost" of long ago. The infirmities of age are left behind, the last bloom of youth will mantle her cheek again, her mind become strong and clear as in womanhood's earlier years. Only a going out of darkness into the light, boundless and eternal.
