Jennie Frances Abbott, daughter of John and Emma Abbott, was born at Lynnville, Scott County, Ill., October 25, 1842 and died at her home in Gilbirds, Ill., November 25, 1911. She was married December 2, 1862 at Naples, Ill., to George W. Meeteer, who preceeded her in death August 12, 1877.
To this union six children were born, Clara, Alice, Clarence, Blanche, Horace and Grace of whom Mrs. Alice M. Halk, C. W. and H. G. Meeteer of this county and Mrs. A. J. Patton of Springfield, survive her. She also leaves to mourn her loss, Mrs. C. E. Abbott of Redlands, Cal. (a daughter by a second marriage). George M. Halk a grandson and one sister Mrs. Henry Robinson of Venice, Ill. Deceased with her husband moved to this county in 1869 and built the home where she lived until her death. She was an energetic, thoroughly honest, upright woman, who lived without thought for herself and with the welfare, happiness and comfort of her children continually in mind. She made many sacrifices to that end and the vacancy caused by her death breaks a home that was bound by unusual strong ties of affection.
The funeral services held at the residence at 2 p.m. Wednesday were conducted by the Rev. J. S. Tharp of Mt. Sterling, assisted by Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Means with a song service. Many beautiful floral tributes attested the high esteem in which she was held. The remains were conveyed to the Versailles cemetery for interment, followed by a sad con course of friends, who wended their way homeward feeling keenly the loss from their midst of a good neighbor and a good woman.
