Obituary
 
Jemima Camren was born in Hancock county, Illinois, Sept.. 9, 1839, and died 
at the home of her son, Dr. C. C. Paxton, near Fruitland, Sunday, Oct. 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 ever since.
 
She was united in marriage to John C. Paxton at Fountain Green, Illinois, 
August 15, 1861.  They moved from there to University Place, Nebraska and then 
to Fairbury, Nebraska, living in that community most all of their lives.  To 
this union three children were born, one daughter and two sons, one son 
preceded her in death several years ago.  Mr. Paxton passed away at Papillion, 
Nebraska, in 1919.
 
Mrs. Paxton has made her home with her son for the past 25 years.  They moved 
to Fruitland in 1919 and lived here five years.  They then went back to 
Palmer, Nebraska, and lived until last June when they returned to Fruitland.
 
Grandma Paxton has been in failing health all summer.  About three weeks ago 
she received a bad fall, from which she never fully recovered, although no 
bones were broken.  She was 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 health, she still was patient and insisted she had 
no illness.
 
She leaves to mourn her loss her son, Dr. C. C. Paxton, her daughter, Mrs. 
Bessie Harris of Sandpoint, who has been here since June helping care for her, 
five grandchildren and twelve great grandchildren, also a large circle of 
friends here and in Nebraska, who will greatly mourn her loss.
 
Funeral services were held form the Paxton home Monday afternoon at 2:30, 
conducted by Rev. George Roseberry.  Dr. Paxton left with the body Tuesday 
morning for Papillion, Nebraska, 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.
