SPROAT.-At the home of her parents in this city on Saturday morning, Nov. 26th, 1887, Miss Jennie Sproat, aged thirty years. Jennie Sproat, eldest daughter of James and Matilda J. Sproat, was born in Somerset Co., Pa., Dec. 14, 1857. In 1876 the family came to Tipton where she has since resided. Being the eldest of a large family of children, she had to a marked degree, been helpful, kind and faithful to parents and friends. Upon all her circle of relatives and acquaintances she had impressed herself as singularly honest, considerate and charitable. She was industrious, free-hearted and frugal. As a member of the church and Sunday School she was humble and dutiful. In all her life there lies but one great shadow which both caused and darkened its close. Under the sacred pledge of marriage and within the domain of affections won, with the wedding day appointed one, from whom all protection and love was due, violated the sacred pledges of honor and decency, bringing shame upon the fair name of society and everlasting contempt and ignominy upon himself. In her last days she was deeply penitent, acknowledging the great wrong in her life and professed to have received pardon and assurance of her acceptance with God. The funeral services were held at the late home and were largely attended, Rev. A. G. Brande assisting the writer in this solemn and sad services. The interment took place at Bethel cemetery on Sunday last. W.F.B. Information from contributor #48425018
