raised on the farm on which he died.  He was always engaged in the farming 
business and was regarded as one of the substantial citizens of the community.  
He was frequently honored by election to public office and was a supervisor for 
a number of years.  At the time of his death he was Republican committeeman 
from Grant township. Mr. Jeffries' church affiliations were with the United 
Presbyterian faith.  He had also been a long-time member of the Grange.
     Mr. Jeffries leaves his widow, Mrs. Sarah (Hopkins) Jeffries.
