At 5 o’clock p.m., on Saturday July 12th, at her father’s residence in Butler, occurred the death of Miss Jennie Anderson, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George W. Anderson, who was one of the purest and sweetest young ladies that adorned our society.  She was born near Geneva, the 8th day of August 1871, and was consequently in the 19th year of her age.  At ten years of age she joined the Methodist church, and in all her life was set forth the purities of a Christian character.  She was kind, cheerful and affectionate to her parents, brothers and sister, and loved by all who knew her.  She had been confined to her bed only about two weeks, and during this time no one, not even her physicians had become alarmed at her condition until the end of life drew near.  Her death was not only a surprise but a sad shock to our entire community.  Words fail to tell how we appreciated her life or the sadness we feel at her death, but He who rules the stormy winds, who gave us life and lets us live, knows best and what He does is well.  Her remains were laid to rest on Sunday evening at 4 o’clock, the funeral services being conducted by Rev. H.C. Brewton.  The bereaved loved ones have the sympathy of the entire community in their sad afflicton.
