Mary's obituary, publication data unknown:
"OBITUARY
Mary Ann Stuart was born in Maine, July 25, 1843, and died in Shell Rock, Iowa, February 21, 1917, at the age of 74 years, 6 months and 27 days.
In her early life she came with her people to Canada, and thence to Butler county, in 1856. On November 30, 1862, she was married to Elihu Jaquis, who survives her after a companionship extending four years beyond the golden anniversary of their wedding.
To them were born eight children, two of whom died in infancy. Those who survive her are, Chas. A. of Boulder, Colorado William H. of Hinckley, Minnesota; Benjamin H. of Swanton, Butler county; George L., Mrs. Libbie Ressler and Hattie M. Turner of Shell Rock. Besides these there mourn her death, two brothers, Geo. E. Stuart of Oregon City, Oregon, and Lincoln E. Stuart of Webster City, Iowa. Also two sister, Mrs. Sarah Stowe of Webster City, Iowa and Mrs. Alice Flowers of Ft. Dodge, Iowa. Twenty-one grandchildren are included in the line of descendants from this mother in Israel. In the foregoing list of relatives the name of another brother, James S. Stuart, of Seattle, Washington, was accidently omitted.
Almost her entire life was spent by Mrs. Jaquis in their home near Swanton, Butler county, from which she and her husband moved to Shell Rock in 1916.
Mrs. Jaquis was converted and united with the Congregational church of Parkersburg in 1895, and retained her membership in that church until her death. During the revival meetings held in Shell Rock in January last, she reaffirmed her acceptance of Jesus Christ and her purpose to devote her life to his service. Her Lord's acceptance of her offered life was confirmed by his taking her to himself a few days later. Her last illness was short and mercifully freed from extreme suffering.
She has left in her family the memory of somewhat more than the usual measure of a wife's and mother's affection. Kindness and gentleness made her home luminous with a radiance that will be reflected far down the pathway of the loved ones who survive her. The community, of whose life she has for so many years formed a part, will bid her farewell with keen regret and its sympathy will be warmly extended to her bereaved companion and to the brothers, sisters, children and other relatives in the sorrow which the departure of the source of so large a part of their life joy has brought to them.
That she waits to meet them in that better land is a matter for which our assurance in more than sentiment or fancy. It is the sure word of God. May her waiting not be in vain."
