Jessie Hale, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Hale, born in Bates county Missouri, June 15, 1882, deceased at her home, Reece, Kansas, Feb. 27, 1922.
At the age of two years her parents moved to Greenwood county, Kansas near Madison. In this county she spent her girlhood days, attending school at Southern Kansas Academy, Agricultural College at Manhattan, afterward completing a course in business college at Sedalia, Missouri. After completing this course she was employed for a time as stenographer, by Morris & Co., East St. Louis giving up this employment in order to be with her home folks.
In 1905 she was united in marriage to Wm. F. Turney, Kansas City, Mo, where she made her home until 1919, moving from there to a farm 2 miles northwest of Reece where she resided the past two years. To this marriage three children were born, Mary Elizabeth, Eugene Morgan, Robert Reed, of these three children the two sons survive, Mary Elizabeth having passed on November, 1920. Thus she leaves to mourn, her father and mother, two sisters, five brothers, her husband and two sons. This was the first death in her father's immediate family.
While in Kansas City she became interested in Christian Science and after several years study took a decisive step by uniting with Second Church of Christ Scientist, Kansas City, Mo. transferring her membership to Eureka Society of Christ Scientist when she again became a resident of this county. To this belief she was a faithful and consistent adherent to the end of her life.
The cause of her decease was pronounced by physicians as being dilation of the heart, but to those of her more intimate friends it was plainly to be seen that she never recovered from the grief occasioned by the death of her little daughter, and it might be said that she died of a broken heart. In Psalms 34-18 we read, "The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit."
Mrs. Turney was ever a busy woman entering wholeheartedly into what ever task was at hand. Before her death she was comforted by the thought that her work was done, that she existed because of the great cause, God, and many times during her last illness her only words to death and disease were on the words of 10th Verse 46 Psalms: "Be still, and know that I am God."
