ALICE GERTRUDE JAEKE
Alice Gertrude Jaeke was born Jan. 26, 1881, in Sheridan precinct, Pawnee county, Nebr., the youngest daughter of Frank L. and Cornelia Fish Jaeke, and died in Pawnee City in the evening of June 10, 1953, aged 72 years, 4 months and 15 days. She was preceded in death by her parents, her sister, Bessie Tackley, her brother, Arthur L. Jaeke, and a brother, Elbert, who died in infancy. In June of 1949 she suffered a crushing blow in the death of her niece, Edna Tackley Booth, who had been like a dear sister to her. About a year later her nephew, Willard Tackley, was taken. She is survived by one niece, Millicent Jaeke Fowler, five great-nephews and one great-niece.
Alice attended Sheridan district school and was graduated from Pawnee City high school.
About 1910 the family left the farm and moved to Pawnee City. Alice lived with and cared for her parents until the end of their lives. From time to time she held positions in town but home was always her first consideration. Alice inherited her father's great love of reading and to the end of her days was delving into new subjects. She was always eager to hear the experiences of others and interested in everything that went on in the world.
She was very artistic, her special field being drawing and painting. Her pictures grace the homes of all her relatives and many of her friends. Many a bride has received as a wedding gift one of Alice's pictures, done especially for her, a real labor of love. Many of her pictures have won premiums at both the Pawnee County fair and the Nebraska State fair.
Alice also loved gardening and flowers, and had been for many years an active member of the Pawnee City Garden club.
Above all she loved her church. Since early girlhood she had been a member of the Pawnee City Christian Church. For many years she served in the children's department of the Sunday School. In later years she had been the teacher of the ladies' class. She had also served as the church treasurer for a number of years.
History and tradition were important to Alice. She cherished the memories of the pioneer experiences of her family and treasured the mementos of their beginnings. She had thoughtfully and carefully marked pictures and antiques, many with bits of historical data, and earmarked them for those she felt would appreciate them most.
In front of her well-worn Bible is pasted a poem, a favorite of hers, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's "Now The Day Is Over."
