OBITUARY
 
Jemima Camren was born in Hancock county, Illinois, Sepember 9, 1839, and died 
at the home of her son, Dr. C. C. Paxton, near Fruitland, Sunday, October 27, 
1929, at 5 p. m., at the age of 90 years, 1 month, and 18 days.  She united 
with the Christian church at an early age, and has always been an earnest and 
devout church worker since.
 
She was united in marriage to John C. Paxton at Fountain Green, Ill., August 
15, 1861.  They moved from there to University Place, and then to Fairbury, 
Neb., and lived in that community most all of their lives.  To this union one 
daughter and two sons were born, one son having been accidentally killed years 
ago.  Mr. Paxton passed away at Papillion, Neb., in 1919.
 
Mrs. Paxton has made her home with her son for the 25 years.  They moved to 
Fruitland in 1919 and lived here five years.  They then went back to Palmer, 
Neb., and lived until last June when they returned to Fruitland.
 
Grandma Paxton has been in failing health all summer.  About three weeks ago 
she fell and hurt herself, and never recovered from the effects, although no 
bones were broken.  She had been confined to her bed for only the past ten 
days.  She was always cheerful and kind to everyone she met.  In spite of her 
advanced years and failing condition, she still was patient and insisted there 
was nothing the matter with her.
 
She leaves to mourn her loss her son, Dr. C. C. Paxton, her daughter, Mrs. 
Bessie Harris of Sand Point, who has been here since June helping care for 
her, 5 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren, also a large circle of 
friends here and in Nebraska, who will greatly mourn her loss.
 
Funeral services were held from the Paxton home Monday afternoon at 2:30, 
conducted by Rev. George Roseberry.  Dr. Paxton left with the body Tuesday 
morning for Papillion, Neb., where she will be buried beside her husband and 
son.
 
The sympathy of the entire community is extended to  Dr. and Mrs. Paxton and 
Mrs. Harris in their hour of bereavement.
