The Oskaloosa Independent, Jefferson County, Saturday, June 15, 1878
Grantville.

J.B. BETTS, an old settler in the neighborhood, died suddenly Monday the 17th
inst. He had experienced several apoplectic attacks before, so this was not
entirely unexpected. He attended church on Sunday morning and spoke in class
meeting, apparently in the enjoyment of health, retired Sunday night well as
usual; abotu two o'clock next morning was attacked with severe pain in the head,
accompanied with other unfavorable symptoms, and about 3 o'clock breathed his
last. He was 60 to 68 years of age, a native of the State of Delaware. In early
life moved to Illinois, and from there to Kansas in 1861. He was a member of the
M.E. church and a liberal contributor to the support of the gospel. He leaves a
family of seven children, four married and three single, all residing in this
vicinity.
