Feb. 19, 1912, Page 1 Mrs. Jennie Schoff died at her home near White Creek Friday evening, Feb. 2, 1912, of Bright's disease. Jennie Ketcham Twist was born at Colman, South Dakota July 28, 1884, where she lived until 1896, when with her parents she moved to Dell Rapids, South Dakota, where she remained nearly three years. In the fall fo 1898 she came with her parents to White Creek, Wis. She was at one time a successful school teacher, having taught several terms of school in her home county. Being of a loving, happy disposition she won friends everywhere. While quite young she took an active part in Sabbath School work, part of the time as organist and part as a teacher. On Jan. 25, 1904, she was united with the Congregational Church at White Creek, of which at the time of her death she was a member. She was untied in marriage with Earl Schoff, Aug. 22, 1907. She was a loving wife and fond mother. Their are left to mourn their loss a husband, three small children, a father, two sisters, and one brother, besides a host of friends as was attested by the number that gathered to pay their last respects to one whom they loved. Funeral services were held at the home and at the church at White Creek, Monday afternoon, Feb. 5, conducted by her pastor, Rev. Deans assisted by the Easton choir. The church was draped in Beaver colors as she was a member of that organization. Why one so young and with such a bright prospect should be taken away we do not know, "Sometime we'll understand."
