Read More	Jennie A., only daughter of Conrad and Sarah Mort was born neat Pittsburg, Iowa, December 9, 1854, and died at the home of her brother James Mort in Milton, Iowa November 2, 1918, age 63 years, 10 months and 23 days. With the exception of some time spent in California her home has been in this community. Of recent years much of her time being spent in the home of her niece, Mrs. Floyd Kerr, who was to Aunt Jennie as a loving daughter. After finishing the rural school work, she attended the Keosauqua high school and was later a student at the Troy academy, and often referred to the joys of school life and the friendships formed while there. When a young girl of 14 years, Jennie gave her heart to God and consecrated her life to his service, uniting with the M.E. church at Pittsburg and remaining a faithful member of this church until the close of life. About 6 years ago she suffered a great affliction in the loss of her sight and while she felt this loss keenly, she was never heard to murmur or complain and bore her affliction with a submission and calmness that was characteristic of her life. During her last illness she expressed her thankfulness that she had made her peace with God while in health and assured her friend that she was ready and willing to go to the Father. She leaves five brothers to mourn the loss of a loving sister. Christian of Portland, Oregon, Joseph of Rialto, California, Aaron of Hill City, Kansas, and William and James of this county. These brothers with their families and many neighbors and friends while feeling a personal loss, will cherish the memory of one, who with Christian sympathy and love, helped to smooth the rough places of life, make the dark places less gloomy and the bright spots more cheerful. Her life patterned after the perfect life of Christ, has been indeed beautiful. Funeral services were held at Pittsburg, conducted by Rev. Amsmuth. Text: "He Leadeth Me Beside the Still Water." Interment in the Pittsburg cemetery.
