Father Jason Blake, born September 3rd , 1821, in Monroe county, Ohio, died December 29th, at the home of his only daughter, Mrs. H. H. Greenlee, being in his 78th year, 59 of which he spent in the service of his Savior. He was married to Miss Catherine Rucker, May 6th, 1841, who passed to her reward January 20th, 1884, while they were living near Bellplaine, Benton county, Iowa, whither they removed from Ohio in 1853. He resided in Iowa for about 43 years. Two years after the death of his wife he removed with his daughter and husband, Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Greenlee, to Frontier county, this state, where he made his home, with the exception of about two years spent on a farm in this county. Three sons and one daughter mourn the death of an affectionate father. Joining the Methodist church at the age of 18 years, he lived a consistent and faithful Christian life for 59 years, dying triumpant in the faith of his life. The funeral services were conducted from the Methodist church at Prailand [sic] at 11 o'clock, December 30th, 1898; after which the remains were taken by H. H. Greenlee to Cambridge [NE], for shipment to Bellplaine, Iowa, for interment. "His last words", remarked A. Y. Lincoln who stood by, "were a great sermon to me". "Heaven is near", Father Blake often said. "I am waiting, for I feel it will only be a transfer to the better world." Two weeks previous to his decease I made him a pastoral visit , when he said , "I desire to live, but if it is the Lord's will, I am now-ready to go any time, and would have been glad to have gone last Sunday while suffering so." The general remark of those who knew him was, "Father Blake was a good man." May the comforting grace of Jesus sustain the sorrowing and bereaved children. M. S. FOUTCH. --extracted from the Jan. 6, 1899 issue of the McCook Tribune, kscott 46944127, 1-1-13
