Notes for Jane Elvira Ward

---

April 3, 1886
Sister Jane E., wife of Solomon Melson, and daughter of Isaac Ward, was born Jan. 26th, 1821 in Clark County, Arkansas, and deid in Nevada County, March 11, 1886.
She joined the church in her ninth year, and lived a devoted, consistent Christian, all her life afterwards. Her children were all batized in infancy, and she made an earnest effort to bring them up in the faith of her gospel. Four of them are living, and are all members of the church. Her house has been a home for the prechers, and mony of the old guard remeber her well, and with affection. She died very suddenly, within twenty four hours after she was taken sick. In her last moments, she was unable to speak from suffocation, but gave signs that all was well. No doubt she is safe. May her loved ones follow her to the better land.
