MRS. JOHN S. JESSE.
Dies at Waynesville- Body Shipped to Mexico for Interment
Many friends in Mexico of Mrs. Minerva Jesse, beloved wife
of Rev. J.S. Jesse, were pained to hear of her death at her home at
Waynesville, Mo., last Saturday morning. Mexico was formerly her home. The body
was shipped here for interment. Rev. O. Olin Green, pastor of the Mexico
Baptist Church, held funeral service Sunday afternoon, burial in Elmwood.
Mrs. Jesse was 60 years old. She was a sister of Mr.
Granville Reed who died at Columbia and was buried here last week. The husband
survives; he is one of the most popular Baptist ministers in the State and
pastor of the Baptist church at Waynesville. The following children survive:
J.C. Jessie, Artesia, New Mexico; Rev. Lewis Jesse, of Texas; Mrs. Wiley
Atkins, Lebanon, Mo., and Mrs. Nancy McKamey, Waynesville, Mo.
Mrs. Jesse was a woman of high Christian ideals. Beloved and
faithful in every good work, the world is poorer for her passing.
