FOR MRS. EDITH M. JEROME Mrs. Edith M. Jerome passed away Friday afternoon, March 17, at the home of her son, Edson C. Jerome on the Old Stage road. Her passing was sudden and unexpected although Mrs. Jerome had not been feeling well for several weeks. She would have been 80 years old next April 1. Mrs. Jerome was well known in the valley. She arrived in Medford March 17, 1910, just 34 years before the date of her passing. For many years she was associated with the M. and M. department store in the ladies' ready to wear department where she made many friends in southern Oregon and northern California. She was of a very happy disposition and all who knew her loved her. During her younger life in Illinois she was very active in musical circles, being a very accomplished pianist. She was a lifelong member of the Episcopal church. During her later life she spent part of her time here at the home of her son, Edson C. Jerome and part in Seattle with her daughter, Mrs. Wayne Leever, who will arrive here Sunday. She was born in Sagertown, Pa., April 1, 1864, and was united in marriage to Alfred E. Jerome at Rantoul, Ill., on Sept. 1, 1886. Mrs. Jerome is survived by two sons, Edson C. Jerome and Kenneth Jerome; a daughter, Mrs. Wayne Leever of Seattle; one grand-daughter, Miss Jeraldyn Jerome and a brother, Frank M. Corliss, both of Medford. Funeral services will be held Monday, March 20, at 2 p.m. at the Perl Funeral Home. Interment in Siskiyou Memorial Park. Rev. Father George R. Turney, rector of St. Mark's Episcopal church officiating.
