Jane LeValley, was born in Victoria, Illinois, January 24, 1858; came to Dayton in 1883, and was married to Chas. D. Waterbury March 11, 1886. She died in Dayton, April 3, 1895, and was buried in Dayton cemetery April 5, 1895. Such is a brief sketch of the life and death of one, who, by a life of thoughtful care and service for others, became endeared to a very large circle of friends. Endowed with a naturally good intellect and fine sensibilities she in her girlhood acquired a good education both in the ordinary branches and in music, of which she was passionately fond. Her artistic taste was fine and for the past few years she gave lessons in painting. Several pictures of hers adorn her home that would be a credit to an artist of greater pretensions. Being of independent spirit, when she became old enough she taught school in her native state and then, as related above, in 1883 came to Dayton and opened a millinery and dress making establishment. Here she became acquainted with C. D. Waterbury, who had a couple of years before come from Illinois and opened a bank. Their acquaintance soon developed congenial tastes and ripened into friendship and friendship into love, and in 1886 they were married. Their home has been a model of taste and refinement. The influence exerted by the wife and mother has had its full share in making it one of the pleasantest in Dayton. Two little daughters, Mabel, now aged 7 and Jessie, aged 5, came to brighten and bless it. While Mrs. Waterbury never united with the church in Dayton she has from the start actively identified herself with it and its members always counted her as one of the most faithful to its interests. She has for years presided at the organ in Grace M. E. church and it will be there as well as in the choir and in all the other auxiliaries to the church she will be greatly missed. She was taken sick with la grippe on Friday, March 22, and although the attack was severe she recovered and was able to be up Monday and Tuesday. On Tuesday evening she was stricken with that scourge of la grippe, pneumonia. The attack was severe and almost from the start the case appeared hopeless. Drs. Nelson and Seymore exhausted their skill in combating the disease. All that skill could employ or love and solicitude suggest was brought to bear but the disease made rapid inroads. To many of her friends who visited her she said she had given her heart to the Savior and was ready to go. On Wednesday morning she was stricken with meningitis and at 2 o'clock in the afternoon she passed away. The funeral was one of the largest that has ever occurred in Dayton. At the request of Mrs. Waterbury, Rev. C. E. Chapler, who was a warm personal friend of the family, preached the funeral sermon. His text was the first three versus of the fourteenth chapter of the gospel by St. John: "Let not your heart be troubled. Ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you I will come again and receive you unto myself; that where I am there ye may be also." The preacher spoke very feelingly of the sadness there is in parting. That spectre is always with us and destroys half our joys. To every reunion on earth there is a parting. Last loving looks remembered and last good byes spoken. All had felt the bitterness that had come into their lives on account of the unsubstantial joys of earth. Our Savior had brought comfort to millions of human hearts by the words of the text. He is preparing a home for his children that would be lasting. He pointed his followers to a reunion at which the spectre of parting would not be an unbidden guest. In his Father's house mansions were building in which joys should be lasting. Rev. Smith in a few well chosen words followed up the subject of the text and also spoke of the great loss sustained by the church. Rev. John Linn also addressed the audience in both English and Swedish. The decorations at the church and the grave were the work of J. M. Daniels, who had requested the privilege of paying this tribute to her memory. The work was beautifully done. There was a large and beautiful assortment of flowers presented by the friends of the deceased. Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Butler brought a quantity of rose and smilax. The Epworth League, the choir and Mrs. Martindale presented a beautiful cross composed of Easter lilies, carnations, smilax and roses. Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Paxton and Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Cole presented an anchor composed of roses and Easter lilies. I. G. Cole and wife gave a pillow of roses, smilax and callas. M. A. Lumbard, of Des Moines, sent a bunch of Easter lilies. All the arrangements were taken in charge by I. G. Cole and were perfect. Mr. Waterbury and his friends expressed their surprise and gratitude for the many tokens of regard they received in their hour of affliction.
