JESSUP

“Jane Jessup was the oldest daughter of eight children in the family of Charles Lewis. She was born in Virginia, Aug. 10, 1832, and destined by fate to sail a troubled sea. Her first husband, Baker, died of consumption; her last, John Jessup, of apoplexy.   The last five months of her time was filled with suffering untold from an ill that baffled the best medical talent of the Wabash Valley. Relief came Oct. 5, 1898; age 66 years, 1 month and 25 days.  She leaves two sons, one daughter and two grandchildren, five brothers and two sisters on the shores of time.” – Rockville Tribune, October 13, 1898
