Mrs. Jonah L. Dewese, aged 80 years, died at her home in No. 3 Township Friday morning, July 21, 1925 Mrs. Dewese had been in bed for the past 18 months and became seriously ill Saturday. Mrs. Dewese was a member of Gilwood Presbyterian Church, and was one of No. 3 township’s most charming women. She met each of life’s obligations beautifully, for she was a devoted sister, a loving mother and a loyal member in her church. Her home was indeed her kingdom and those fortunate in being included in her circle of her friendship never found her failing them for her ideals were high and her life was a source of inspiration to those about her. Her unswerving faith brought her fearlessly to life’s close and her many kindly ministrations and rich services for others leaves many lamenting friends.
Mrs. Dewese leaves to mourn her death one daughter, Miss Martha Jane Dewese of No. 3, and quite a number of nephews in the Steele Creek neighborhood. Her remains were laid to rest in Gilwood Cemetery Tuesday evening at 4 o’clock. The funeral services were conducted by her pastor, the Rev. F.A. Barnes.
From page 2 of The Concord Daily Tribune, Saturday, July 25, 1925. The headline spelled last name Deweese but the article spelled it Dewese.
