(Oxford Leader, 12 Feb. 1920)
Mrs. Jake Drahner and Albert Jewell
Mrs. Jake Drahner, age 61 years died at the farm home of Mr. and Mrs. Albert
Jewell northeast of this village, where she had gone to care for the entire
family, five in all, who were ill with the influenza, when she contracted the
disease, dying Monday Feb. 9th.
As no help could be secured to look after the afflicted family during the trying
hours, Mr. Jewell, who had not fully recovered from his illness arose, thinking
it was his duty to administer care to the rest of the family, was stricken with
pneumonia, dying Tuesday.
Jewell was about 35 years of age, and was one of North Oxford's prosperous
farmers.  He is survived by a wife and three children who are dangerously ill at
this writing; also two sisters, Mrs. Frank Hibbler and Mrs. William Brode, and a
brother.  Mrs. Drahner was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Alonzo and Jane
Van Wagoner.  She was united in marriage to Jake Drahner in 1880.  To this union
were born two children, one son, who died at the age of 14 years and one
Daughter, Mrs. Albert Jewell.  Besides the husband and daughter, she is survived
by two brothers, Clark Van wagoner, of this village and W.K. of Los Angeles, Cal.
A double funeral was held Wednesday at 10:30 o'clock from the Whitcomb Chapel,
Rev. T.D. Denman officiating.  The remains were placed in the Dennison vault.
