Julia Ann Jewell Smalley
Julia Ann Jewell Smalley
was born in Benton County, Iowa, March 15, 1848, and departed this life at
Valentine, Nebraska, December 29,1922, age 74 years, 9 months and 14
days.
She was united in marriage to Samuel Cruise Smalley on October
11, 1866, at Decorah, Iowa.
To this union 9 children were born, 4
sons and 5 daughters. One son, Frank Smalley and one daughter Mrs. Rosetta
Randall, are deceased. Those remaining are Mrs. Eva Metz, of Dorsey, Nebr.,;
Samuel E. Smalley of Valentine; Mrs. Alice E. Mansfield of Shell Lake,
Wisc.; Laban G.
Smalley of Williston, N.D.; Mrs. Clara M. Hutchinson of
Omaha, Neb.; David G. Smalley of Beaver Dam, Wisc; and Miss Lillian M.
Smalley of Chicago, Illinois.
Soon after they were married they
moved to Belleville, Minn., where they engaged in farming for a time. Later
they returned to Iowa and resided near Storm Lake for some years. Later they
came to Nebraska among the early settlers and took a preemption in Holt
county, near Dorsey. After proving up on that place they went to Keya Paha
County and took a homestead near Norden, where they lived for several
years. While residing there Mr. Smalley met with an accident which resulted
later in his death. The wife and mother being left with the care of her
large family of children, used her homestead right and filed on land a mile
west of the former homestead. After proving up on this she moved to
Lancaster, Wisc., where she lived for seven years. She then came back to
Nebraska, and located in Valentine, where she has lived for the past
nineteen years.
About four years ago she was deprived of her
eyesight and had to depend upon her children to care for her. Although she
had suffered a paralytic stroke about six months ago and was constantly
cared for by her daughter Lillian, yet she remained happy and cheerful to
the last.
Her greatest joy was in attending church and Sabbath school. She
joined the Methodist church when very young, and remained a faithful member,
dying in the triumphs of a Christian faith. She was a member of the
W.C.T.U., and was active in good works-ever ready to help in time of
need.
Besides her children she leaves 27 grandchildren and 11 great
grandchildren, and one brother, Martin C. Jewell of Madison,
Wisconsin.
The funeral was held from the Methodist church on Wednesday
at 2 p.m., conducted by the pastor, O.E. Richardson, Interment was made in
the Mount Hope cemetery. A 46-7
