Iowa County Democrat, November 13, 1902:
	“Mrs. JANE MATTHEWS, wife of Jonathan Matthews, died at her home in 
this city, Sunday night, Nov. 9, 1902 at about 9:30 o’clock. Deceased was born 
in Staffordville [Staffordshire], England, April 27, 1830, and at the same year 
came with her parents to America, settling in Pennsylvania; five years later 
she moved with her parents to Wisconsin.”

“In 1844 she was married to LOUIS POQUETTE; thirteen children were born to 
them. Four sons and two daughters survive the mother, all of whom were present 
at the funeral, namely; John H, Beloit; Louis and Leonard of Waldwick; George 
of this city; Mrs. Josephine Davis, of Willow Springs; Mrs. Sophia Powell of 
Shullsburg. In 1898 she was united in marriage to Mr. Jonathan Matthews, who is 
left to mourn the loss of a devoted Christian wife.”

“The funeral took place on Tuesday morning, with services at Trinity Episcopal 
Church, Rev. Mr. Chase officiating; and burial in Graceland Cemetery*. The 
large attendance of neighbors and friends attested to the high esteem in which 
the deceased was held by the community.”
