The Holton Recorder
Jackson County
Thursday
February 8, 1923

Jesse Howard, the only child of Brutus E. and Matilda M. SEWELL, was born near
Circleville, Kansas, March 16, 1913, and departed this life at his home in
Bancroft, Kansas, Saturday morning, February 3, 1923, aged 9 years, 10 months
and 17 days.
After the death of his mother in September, 1915, he lived with Grandpa and
Grandma Sewell three years. The remaining years were spent in the home of his
papa and new mamma, proving a blessing and sunbeam each day. A year ago a little
sister came to gladden his life, whom he was very proud.
He was a bright and thoughtful boy with a reasoning power far beyond his age. He
was a great favorite among his teachers and schoolmates. Their presence in a
body and the supreme reverence with which they stood at attention in open ranks
as the little casket was carried to and from the church bespoke their love and
sympathy. Many beautiful floral tributes bore further evidence of real sorrow. 
The funeral was conducted by his friend, M.G. HAMM, and pastor GILPIN at the
church at Bancroft. A short and appropriate service was held at the Holton
cemetery chapel for friends unable to attend the services at Bancroft.
The little body was laid to rest by the side of his mother, to await the glad
call to light, life and immortality in the celestial city.
M.G.H.
