JANE MCFARLAND VOLENTINE

Jane MCFARLAND was born in Pennsylvania in February 1845. With her parents she moved to Mercer County, Illinois, and in 1865 she was united in marriage to John E. VOLENTINE. To this union ten children were born, seven boys and three girls of whom four have been laid to rest. In 1884 the family moved to Nebraska and in 1889 Mr VOLENTINE passed to the great beyond. The children who mourn the loss of their mother are: Cora E Bartlett and C. W. VOLENTINE of Loretto, NE., Sherman VOLENTINE of Elgin, NE, Frank, Edward and Dwight VOLENTINE of Jay Em, WY. There are also eleven grandchildren, twelve great grandchildren and one sister, Mary OHLER of Golden City, MO. Mrs VOLENTINE embraced the message held by the Seventh Day Adventist denomination and united with that church in 1893. She remained steadfast in the faith until the end, departing this life October 12, 1923, aged 78 years, 8 months and 10 days, at her home at Jay Em, WY. The body was brought to Oakdale where the family lived for many years. Services were held from the United Brethren Church Monday, October 15, and interment made in the Oakdale Cemetery.
