JANE CHRISTY

Ursina News Notes

  Jane Christy, widow of Matthew S. Christy and daughter of John and Dorcas 
Thomas, died at her home in Ursina, Aug. 12.
  Before her marriage she lived near Mt. Pleasant where her father was a Baptist 
minister.  Moving from there to Lower Turkeyfoot Twp., she made her home with 
her sister, Mrs. Mae Crabtree, for many years. She was well known in Pittsburgh, 
Uniontown and other places, up until the last few years, when illness stopped 
her active life.
  She and her sister were always working for the good of others.  While in later 
years they remained close at home, their interests were widespread and they were 
vital factors in the life of the community.
  Her last years were saddened by the blindness of her only living sister, Mrs. 
Crabtree.  The utmost devotion existed between the two sisters.
  Her only son disappeared many years ago and if living does not know of the 
passing of a loving mother.
  She is survived by one grandson and three great-grandchildren, her sister 
mentioned above and one brother, Ebenezer Thomas, who made his home with his 
sisters.
  Funeral services were held at her home on Thursday afternoon, with Rev. 
Schindler officiating, and interment was made in the Jersey Cemetery.
