Clyde Enterprise 2/14/1918

Mrs. Jane L. Gettins

Mrs. Jane L. Gettins, widow of E. T. Gettins, and one of the pioneers of 
Clyde, passed away at her home in Toledo last Friday afternoon at the age of 
73 years, 3 months and 10 days, after a short illness.  For the past twenty 
years she had been a resident of that city, and her husband died there 
eighteen years ago the 26th of this month. 

Mrs. Gettins, whose maiden name was Jane Harris, was born in England, and came 
to this contry at an early age.  She married Mr. Gettins at Clyde in 1860, and 
their large family of children was raised in this community.  There were 
thirteen in the family of whom the following survive:  Mrs. M.M. Crabill, Palm 
Beach, Fla., V. M. Gettins, Toledo, Capt. Fred K. Gettins, 11th Coast 
Artillary, Fort Stephens, Ore., George F. Gettins, Mrs. John Kenninger, 
Stephen J. Gettins, Mary Gettins, Mattie Louise Gettins, all of Toledo, Floyd 
Gettins of Stockton, Cal., and Laurel E. Gettins, who is in the mechanical 
division of the war department at Washington, D.C.

Few families were more largely identified with the history of Clyde half a 
century ago than the Gettins'.  The husband was a well known contractor and a 
mechanical genius.  During the Civil War he served four years in the 165th N.Y.

Funeral services were held at 436 Melrose Aveneu, Toledo, on Monday at 10:30 
a.m., conducted by Rev. Carhart of the Episcopal church, and at their 
conclusion the remains were brought to Clyde on a special car for interment 
beside the husband in McPherson cemetery.  Mary friends accompanied the 
members of the family on the sad journey.
