Like a ship that left its mooring, And sails bravely out to sea, So someone Dear has sailed away, In calm serenity; But there's promise of greater joy, Than Earth could have in store. For God has planned a richer life, Beyond the Unseen Shore.

Genealogical Society Obituary Book B, Page 58, Keosauqua Public Library, Keosauqua, IA MISS JANE LOCKE Our citizens were shocked Saturday morning, December 22, 1945, when the news was passed around that Miss Jane Locke had been found on the floor of her home by neighbors about 8 o'clock, having passed away a short time before. Evidently she had arisen and dressed and was fixing the fire in her stove when the end came. She has had heart trouble for several years but she and her many friends could see she was failing rapidly this winter. She lived alone in her home south of the Park and had good neighbors who did what they could for her. The day before her passing, she called her Doctor, as her heart was bothering her more than usual. It was the way she wanted and expected to go. She was 86 years of age last February 22, 1945. She lived on the home farm, northeast of Birmingham, until she moved to town a number of years ago. She was a teacher in rural and town schools for many years in Van Buren and Jefferson counties and there was none better. She was also an active worker in the Methodist Church and a teacher in the Sunday School as long as her health would permit. She is survived by one sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Stonebraker, of Birmingham and a number of nieces and nephews. Source: Van Buren Co.
