A Poem for Mom
You are the sun light in my day
You are the moon I see far away
You are the tree I lean upon
You are the one that makes troubles gone
You are the one who taught me life
How to fight, and what is right
You are the words inside my song
You are my love, my life, my Mom.
You are the one who cares for me
You are the eyes that help me see
You are one who knows me best
When it's time to have fun and time to rest
You are the one who has helped me to dream
You hear my heart and hear my scream
Afraid of life, but looking for love
I'm blessed, for God sent you from above
You are my friend, my heart and my soul
You are the greatest friend I know
You are the words inside my song
You are my love, my life, my Mom

GUTHRIE HENRY M.
Called Home -  On the 8th of September, 1806, Henry M. GUTHRIE, aged 9 years was called to the home above.  He was living with his grandmother, Mrs Olivia YOUNG, at the old homestead in Columbia.  About 6 o'clock in the afternoon on the day of his death he jade from from the house to water the horse, and was found a few moments later in an expiring condition, kicked, as all the circumstances seem to show, by the animal upon whom he was bestowing his care.  He was a grand little boy, beautiful in appearance, upright in life, bright in intellect, kind and winning in all his ways.  He was the life and help of the home; he and Mrs YOUNG living alone together.  His mother, the daughter of Mrs. YOUNG, was called from this earth some five years ago and his father, MR. Mark GUTHRIE, having married again, the child remained with his grandmother, and beautiful  and tender was the life lived between them.  All the friends took knowledge of this bright and interesting boy; also of the remarkable relationship existing between him and the all-loving one who called for in the home, and when this sudden separation came, great was the shock to them all and deep was the sympathy felt by their mourning hearts. The funeral service was held at the home on Thursday the 10th inst, and was largely attended.  A choir was present to sing the sweet strains of reconciling love.  Beautiful flowers about the lovely casket in which reposed the silent little form, made it a vision of beauty, softening the sting of the destroying angel of death.  Rev. Mr. CAMERON, of Sylvania, offered a consolatory prayer, and Rev. Emma E. BAILEY, of Troy, preached the sermon from Matt 18 10: "For I say unto you, that in heaven the angels do always behold the face of my father, which is in heaven," portraying the close and loving ways the Father has for the little ones.   The form of the loving child was laid away to rest, in the beautiful Oak Hill cemetery of Troy, and thus was ended for earth this young life, but full of bright and indelible impressions upon the living friends.
"Oh ! the glories of the sunshine,
Oh ! the beauties of the wild,
But the greatest of God's wonders
Is a loving little child."

Born Nov. 28, 1886, at East Troy, he spent a large part of his life here. After finishing at the public school he worked for a number of years at the carpenter trade, then for about two years for the Elmira Arms Co., in Elmira, when, due to his father’s sickness and death, he came back to East Troy to help in keeping the home together . He was wholly unselfish and thought more of others than of himself. Four sisters and six brothers survive—Mrs. Elisha Foster, Louisa, and Frances of East Troy, Lena of Silver Bay, N.Y.; Judson of Canton, Harold of Troy; Grant and Marion of Ann Arbor, Mich., and Willard and Robert at home.   tgr 1922

The body will be brought to this place and the funeral will be held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o’clock at the Methodist Church.

JONES Grant
On February 21, 1916, another of our most estimable citizens was claimed by death.  Grant M. Jones, who was born April 17, 1862, the son of Moreau and Lydia Jones, passed from the earthly life at his late home.  Mr. Jones was born her in East Troy at the old Jones homestead, and lived practically his entire life in this community.  When a young man he was married to Una Joralemon, and shortly after that settled in the business of selling meat, having a market at East Troy and delivering by wagon in the village of Troy where he became well known and greatly respected.  A little more than eleven years ago his wife and helpmeet died leaving him with a family of twelve children.  And it may be said with the greatest truth, that he gave the full measure of devotion to the home and family thus left to his charge.  And never with greater success did a father undertake the responsibility of meeting all the needs of a home.  His greatest thought was the welfare of his boys and girls and to maintain a home for them where any and all might be welcome.  Even during the past three or four years while his own health was gradually failing his greatest concern was not for himself but for others. In August, 1915, one daughter, Sarah was claimed by death being a victim of the white plague; the sons and daughters remaining are; Judson of Grover; Harold of Troy; Mrs. Elisha Forster of East Troy; and the following at home (which is to be maintained)  Lena, Allan, Frances, Willard, Louisa, Grant, Marion and Robert whose home is with Mrs. Calkins.  A brother and sister in this place John R. Jones and Mrs. John Rathbun, and a sister, Mrs. V. K. Jones of Morris, Pa. There are many others as well as the above members of his family who will feel keenly the loss of a friend. TGR 1916

Grant Jones, a well known, life-long resident of East Troy, whose health had been steadily failing for four years, was released from earthly bondage and suffering at his home at 11:30 Monday morning.  Mr. Jones was born April 17, 1862, and was therefore approaching his 54th birthday.  He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Monroe Jones and a brother of John R. Jones and Mrs. John Rathbun of East Troy, and Mrs. V. K. Jones of Morris Run.  His Wife died several years ago.  He leaves eleven children – Judson of Grover; Mrs. Elisha Foster, Allan and Lena of East Troy; Harold of Troy; and Frances, Willard, Louisa, Grant, Marion and Robert of East Troy.  The funeral was held at the M.E. Church in East Troy at 2 Wednesday afternoon and interment was in Oak Hill Cemetery this boro. TGR 1916

JONES Sarah Louise Jones
Fell asleep in the blessed hope of immortality at the family home in East Troy, Pa., Wednesday morning, August 18th, 1915.  Sarah Louise, daughter of Grant M. and Una Jones aged 23 years, 1 month and 11 days.  For two years she had suffered from tuberculosis. In June 9, 1914, she went to Mount Alto, Pa., but the hoped for relief was not realized and in October last she returned to East Troy where relatives and friends vied with one another in loving ministrations.  Flowers daily brightened the sick room and dainty morsels from numberless homes tempted the palate of the sufferer.  While all knew that the end was near the passing of her young and beautiful life cast a shadow over the entire community. Funeral services were held at the M. E. Church Saturday afternoon, August 21st, her pastor, the Rev. R. E. Brague, officiating.  The very large attendance and wealth of beautiful flowers told of universal respect for the departed and sympathy for the surviving father, four sisters and seven brothers.  Interment was in Oak Hill Cemetery, Troy, by the side of her mother who died
eleven years ago.  TGR 1915

JORALEMON Una
East Troy News) Mrs. Una Joralemon Jones was born in Asylum township November 26, 1861, and died November 12, 1861, and died November 12, 1904, at her home in East Troy. She was the only daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. P. M. Joralemon. While we all knew that Mrs. Jones was not at all well, but considered her on the gain, and when the news of her demise came, it was a great shock, as she has resided here ever since she was married in 1881. We all knew her, and knew that she was a consistent christian woman, and one who was always ready to lend a helping hand to the afflicted and needy, a member of the Methodist church for many years and an ideal mother. She was a member of the W.C.T.U. of this place, and very anxious that this work should prosper and much good be done. She was also treasurer of the union. Her funeral was held on Tuesday, November 15, with a prayer service at the home, and further service at the church. Rev. W. H. S. Loller officiated. He was assisted by the Rev. L. A. Roberts. Mrs. Jones is survived by her devoted husband, Grant Jones, and twelve children, Judson, Lydia, Allen, Lena, Sarah, Harold, Frances, Louise, Willard, Grant, Jr., Marion and the little babe only three weeks old, also three devoted brothers, John Joralemon of Wayne, N.Y., Luther, who is a member of the regular army and stationed at Sacketts Harbor, and Will of Elmira.
