Obituary of Jane Morrow McKain June 28, 1897

Jane Morrow was born in Down county, Ireland, February 25, 1816. She was
married to Thomas McKain in 1836, and came to America in the spring of 1949.
They lived in the state of New York seven years and then came to Michigan and
made their home in Porter, Van Buren county. Eight children were born to them,
seven of whom, with her husband, survive her. They were all with her in the
last moments, which was a great joy to her as she retained her mind till
within a few hours of her passing awway. She asked if they would all be with
her and when told they would said, "O, I am so happy, happy, happy." She was
prepared and willing to go. The last words one of her sons could catch were,
"In my Father's Kingdom, on the first floor."

She had been a devoted member of the Presbyterian church in her old home. She
was a true wife, a loving mother and a kind neighbor, beloved by young and
old. Knowing how bright and good everything seemed to her we truly feel that
her last years were her best.
