Jennie Sweet Joseph

  Mrs. Jennie Sweet Joseph was born March 20, 1871, to Mr. and
Mrs. Ben Sweet in Many.

  Mrs. Joseph was united in marriage to James Samyel Joseph. To
this union were born 12 children, seven of which preceded her in
death.

  She moved to Oklahoma in 1907, and united with the Salem Baptist
Church in 1909, where she remained an ardent member, and a
dedicated worker until she grew too feeble in 1975.

  Monday morning, April 24, at 6:30, the Master said "Enough
done". Duties here on earth being completed after 107 years, 1
month, and 4 days, she bade the world goodbye.

  Her immediate survivors are one son, Rev. H. C. Joseph, Jones,
Okla.; one step son, O. C. Joseph, Omaha, Nebraska; four
daughters; Eliza Motley, Anna Tyson, Frances Davis, and Alrena
Tipton, all of Oklahoma City; five daughters-in-law, twenty-five
grandchildren, fifty great grandchildren, twenty three
great-great grandchildren; one brother, Dave Sweet of Luther,
Oklahoma; one sister-in-law, and a host of nieces, nephews, and
friends.

Merrindy Cross, Mrs. Beulah Lee, Mr. Ben Sweet, Mr. Jack Sweet,
