(July 12, 1874 – February
27, 1920)
(Age 45)
Jennie Kleckner was born at Fowler, July 12. 1874 and
departed this life, February 27, 1920, age 45 years, 7 months and 15 days.
She was united in marriage to Pearl Williams, and to this
union were born three children, Mrs.
Coyno Slater of Owosso, Bernice and Arcie at home. She also leaves a father, two sisters, one brother and three
grand children, besides a host of other relatives and friends.
She was a membe o fht M. E. Chruch. A good woman has been taken from our
midst. She 2as a good neighbor, always
ready to lend a helping hand, and always a kind word and cheery smile for all.
She will be greatly missed in the home, where ber untiring
devotion in hard to excell. No sacrifice was too great for her to make for
those she loved.
One of her main anibitions was to see her children
educated. To this end she toiled
unceasing ly, and last June, with the class of 1919, had the pleasure and
satisfaction of seeing her youngest finish their high school course.
She was a loving and faithful wife and to the sorrowing
companion and children we would say:
Weep not that her
tolls are over,
Weep not that her
race is run.
God grant we may rest
as calmly,
When our work like
hers, is done.
Till then we yield
with gladness
Our mother to Him to
keep,
And rejoice in the
sweet assurance,
He giveth His loved
ones sleep.
Not now but in the
coming years,
It may be in the
better land.
We’ll reaad the
meaning of our tears,
And there, sometime,
will understand.
