OBITUARY-

MARY JANE RHODES WADE MCCALLUM-

Mary Jane Rhodes was born in Granville, New York, March 27,1824, and passed 
away June 27, 1901. She was united in marriage with John W. Wade in Clymer, 
New York, February 2, 1843. To them three children were given. Two of these 
preceded her to the other shore, and one, Mrs. Emma J. Orcutt, remains and was 
present at her mother’s death and funeral. In 1858, nine years after the death 
of Mr. Wade, she was married to Mr. John McCallum and was again left a widow 
in 1879. One of the two children of this marriage, one is dead, and one, 
Lillie C., is living and was her mother’s stay and support. For a number of 
years she has been confined to the house and home yard. The procession of life 
for business or pleasure has passed her by and left her to the exclusive 
notice of her intimate friends and neighbors. When fourteen years of age she 
was converted and became a member of the Methodist Episcopal church and 
continued in its fellowship until called to the church triumphant. She was 
ever a most faithful wife and mother, friend and neighbor. She was loved by 
those who knew her best. Funeral services were conducted by her pastor, Rev. 
R. D. Parsons, at her late home, Monday, June 24, and the remains were laid to 
rest in Mt. Hope cemetery.
