Former Rochester Woman Dies 
     Mrs. JANE MAJOR, 82 rears old, a resident of Oakland County 
practically all her life, died Sunday in Washington, N.J. at the 
home of a daughter, Mrs. Phoebe Major. Mrs. MAJOR had made her 
home with the daughter for the last two years, but prior to that 
time was living in Romeo. 
        She was a resident of the section north of Rochester, for 
many years. 
   Surviving are one son JESSE, of Mt Vernon, two sisters, Mrs. 
JOHN STAFFORD and Mrs. WILLIAM BRODIE of Romeo, besides the 
daughter. 
     Funeral was held at 2: p.m. Wednesday at Mt Vernon, with 
burial in the cemetery at that place. 
  The death of Mrs. MAJOR recalls a frightful tragedy at Mt. 
Clemens nearly 40 yrs ago, when WILLIAM MAJOR, her husband, killed 
his daughter, Mrs. Joseph Depew, her daughter, two years old, 
nearly killed his wife and son , JESSE, after which he killed 
himself.
