The Obituary of Wiley Jackman

31 October 1832 - 20 November 1897

From the Springwater Enterprise, 2 December 1897.

Springwater - Wiley Jackman, a resident of this town for the last forty years, died at his home on Wednesday of last week, of tuburculous phthisis, aged 65 years, after a severe illness of six weeks during which time he had been confined to his bed. The funeral services were held at the Christian church on the following Sabbath at 12 o’clock, Elder Warren J. Tefft, pastor of the A. C. church, officiating.

Deceased was the eldest son of the late Josiah and Luva B. Jackman and was born on the 31st day of October, 1832, in the town of Canadice, Ontario County, where he assisted his father on the farm until 1857, when he married Miss Emily Johnson, daughter of the late George and Johanna Johnson, at that time residents of Conesus, at which time he settled on the farm near the Christian church where he lived the remainder of his life. There were born to him six children, four of which are still living: Albert L., Edgar, Mrs. Mary Crooks and Mrs. Clara Shetler, all residing in this town at the present time.

For several years past deceased had been unable to perform any heavy manual labor and bore his sufferings with signal patience until the end. He was a man of sterling integrity, ever choosing to suffer the wrongs inflicted by others rather than to show a spirit of resentment, was a kind and loving husband, and indulgent father, and an obliging neighbor. During the last weeks of his illness his home was almost continually thronged with callers eager to learn his condition, and all was done that medical skill, relatives, kind friends and neighbors could do to divert the arrows of death, but the call had been made, and peacefully, without murmuring, he passed into the presence of him who doeth all things well. At the funeral a long line of mourning friends, many of whom had kindly administered to his comfort during his illness, assembled to pay him tribute and sympathize with his bereaved companion and family in their severe affliction.

The Obituary of Emily J. Johnson Jackman

30 April 1841 - 9 February 1903

From the Cohocton Index, February 1903.

The death of Mrs. Emily Jane Jackman occurred at her home two miles north-east of the village of Springwater, on Monday of last week, February 9, 1903, after several weeks of severe illness from cancer, aged 61 years 9 months and 9 days.

Deceased was the daughter of the late George and Johanna Johnson who lived in the town of Conesus, N.Y., at the time of her birth, April 30, 1841, and where she lived with her parents until September 10, 1857, when she was married to Wiley Jackman, eldest son of the late Josiah and Luva B. Jackman of Canadice, N.Y.

Soon after their marriage they commenced house keeping on the farm where they labored together until the death of her husband, which occurred Nov. 24, 1897, after which she made her home with her daughter, Mrs. John Shetler on the same farm till her death.

She was the mother of six children three of whom are still living in Springwater: Edgar W., Mrs. Mary A. Crooks and Mrs. Clara Shetler. The eldest son, Albert L., died October 4, 1898 and two other children died in infancy. Besides her children she leaves eight brothers: Wm., Lewis M., Henry of Canadice, N.Y., and Harvey, Joseph, Ira, Arnold, George and one sister, Mrs. Abagail Bruno, all of Mich.

Mrs. Jackman possessed strong habits of industry always laboring for the welfare of her family, and ever found at the post of duty caring for the afflicted where needed, even sacrificing her health for others. About three years ago her strength began to fail her, yet she still continued her labors as nurse until a few months prior to her death were nearly ended and she must soon enter the haven of rest.

Although her sufferings during the last weeks of her illness were extremely severe she endured them without murmuring and when the dark curtain settled down like a pall around her and she heard the footsteps of death approaching, she did not fear, but expressed an anxiety to obey the final summons. She was conscious to the last and when about to cross the line of worlds she took the hand of the nurse in attendance in hers and whispered in an audible voice, “It is well with me. Light the lamps.” And after a brief pause she uttered the word “happy” and closed her eyes in death.

The funeral services were held at the Christian church on Thursday at 2 o’clock p.m. Elder C. F. Ladd, pastor of the A. C. church, speaking words of comfort from Psalm XXIII, which was the Psalm the members of the family read to the deceased a number of times in the weeks of her illness by her request.

The bearers were: D. Byron Waite, Thomas Eldridge, Clark Stuart, Willard Caskey, Hiram Becker. Interment in Evergreen cemetery.
