MRS. F. L. JAEKE
Cornelia Susan Fish came into this life April 23, 1847, at Elizabethtown, Essex county, New York, and slipped quietly out over the bar Monday morning, January 21, 1918, at 7:30 o'clock, aged 70 years, 8 months and 7 days, after a five day's illness with heart trouble.

At the age of ten she moved from New York with her parents and two younger brothers to Appleton, Wisconsin, where she spent her early girlhood in school and taught two terms before her marriage on August 30, 1865 to Frank L. Jaeke, her brother, W. J. Fish and wife, of this place, being married at the same time.

Mrs. Jaeke was the youngest of eleven children, Mr. W. J. Fish being the only son remaining.

Two years after her marriage she moved from Wisconsin to Pawnee county, Nebraska, where she and her husband took a homestead five miles from Pawnee City, and made a home in the grassy wilderness, living on the same place for forty-three years, until the family removed to Pawnee City in the spring of 1910.

She often spoke of the struggles of pioneer life; of the visits of grasshoppers, and of Pawnee City as it looked when it contained but two very small stores.

Indians were frequent visitors in those days and had their regular trail past the little claim shanty.

Here her four children, Mrs. Bessie Tackley, Arthur Jaeke, Elbert, who died in infancy, and Alice, were born. Besides Mr. Jaeke, her loving companion of half a century, and their three children still living, she leaves three grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

Mrs. Jaeke had been a faithful member of the Christian church for forty-nine years, having been baptized by D. R. Dungan during his Pawnee pastorate.

Her faith was quiet and unassuming, her devotion to duty, home and family absolute, always thinking of others before herself, shown even in her last illness by her fear that those who waited upon her would be tired out or would over-do.

Her loss is indeed a keen one to her family and friends, but we know that "all things work together for good to those who love God." and
Sometimes when all life's lessons have been learned,
When sun and stars forever more have set,
The things o'er which we grieved with lashes wet,
Shall flash before us out of life's dark night,
As stars shine most in deeper tints of blue,
And we shall see how all God's plans were right,
And how both hurt and cure were love most true.

A card.
We wish to express our sincere gratitude in this public way to all those who gave us comfort by their kindly assistance, sympathy and beautiful flowers during our bereavement.
F. J. Jaeke and Family.
