Read More	Mary Jane Higgins, died at her home on West Fifth Street, Villisca, Iowa, Wednesday, September 29, 1909 after an illness of about six months resulting from a fall. Mary Jane Carlisle was born inHighland County, Ohio, September 15, 1826 and was therefore 83 years and 14 days old at the time of her death. She was united in marriage to Francis Wilson Higgins October 17, 1850 and to them were born eight children, six girls and two boys. One girl died in infancy. Those who are living and are with their mother during her sickness and death were, Mrs. E. S. Kelley, Mrs. J. W. Powers, Mrs. Sam Higgins, Mrs. M. V. Roth, and Mrs. M. P. Neal and Charles and Lum Higgins. Besides those named there is the aged husband, 32 grandchildren, and 11 great grandchildren, with a circle of innumerable friends who keenly feel their loss. Mr. and Mrs. Francis Wilson Higgins were indeed pioneers of Iowa, having come to this state in the year of 1853, 56 years ago and settled on a farm in Page County, about three miles southwest of Villisca, where they lived in a small, two room cottage until their family was grown to manhood and womanhood, when a more modern residence was erected. They lived here until about eighteen years ago when they moved to villisca where they since resided. In their cottage and in their new residence their home was ever open and welcome to their friends and neighbors and many strangers passing through the country have found hospitable treatment in their home, especially was this true in the early days when the country was new. “Grandma Higgins,” as she was commonly known, was a friend to everybody, ever ready to do a kindness, to speak a king word or to lend a helping hand. To know her was to love and respect her. She was a true and kind wife and mother, and that she was greatly endeared herself to her family was shown in her days of health, alike in her long illness, by their attentiveness and never tiring efforts to comfort her. Her years have been many and have been well spent. She is dead, but yet she lives. The obsequies were held Friday, October 1, 1909 at half past two o’clock from the M. E. Church by the pastor, Rev. Enoch Hill. The interment was in the Villisca Cemetery.
