The Ionia Sentinel, Friday, October 26, 1877

Died.  Jaycox.—In Orleans, on Sunday, Oct. 6th, at the age of 51 years, Mrs. 
Sarah Ann Jaycox.

The deceased was born on the 10th day of January, 1826, in the village of 
Litchfield, Conn., where her family lineage can be traced back through several 
generations previous to her birth.  Her father, Hial Rowley, shortly 
afterwards, in 1827, removed to Monroe Co., N.Y., within a few miles of the 
then embryo village of Rochester.  Here the girlhood of the deceased was 
spent, and until her marriage with John D. Jaycox, an old and respected 
citizen of Orleans township, remained with the large family of her father, and 
shared the privations and hardships of early pioneer life.  

In 1857 Mr. Jaycox emigrated to Michigan, and purchased a farm in Orleans 
where he has since resided.  Their union has been blessed with three children, 
two of whom remain to mourn the untimely loss of a kind and faithful mother.  
Mrs. Jaycox was an earnest Christian, and her piety was sweetened by the grace 
of a warm heart and the sympathies of a kindly nature.  She early became a 
member of the Disciples’ church, under the eloquent preaching of Rev. Isaac 
Errett, now of Cincinnati, for whom she has always retained the profoundest 
respect.  

Her illness has been of painful duration, and although her sufferings have 
been of the acutest nature she has borne all patiently and uncomplainingly.  
In her last hours she expressed unfaltering trust in the promises of a 
compassionate Savior, and at the final moment, surrounded by her family and 
friends, her yearning spirit passed into the dreamland of eternity, sweetly 
and quietly, a fitting consummation to a life of unexampled purity and 
devotion.
