OUR DEPARTED FRIENDS
MRS. JENNIE M. ALTON
After more than a year of suffering from a complication of diseases, and with a victorious faith in Christ, Sister Jennie M. Alton passed into rest. The conclusion of this beautiful life came July 21, 1920.
Mrs. Alton was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Hall, who reside on West Virginia Avenue, Parkersburg, W. Va. She was born Nov. 23, 1875, in this city, and here she grew to womanhood. She used the opportunities for an education, and became a successful teacher in the public schools. She was of an excellent family, received the best of home training, and began her active life with high ideals, which she maintained in school, in her home, and in her work for the church.
She was married to Newton Alton, Oct. 27, 1901. They were blessed with one child, a son who is in his sixteenth year, and is well along with his high school work. Sister Alton was indeed a helpmate to her husband and a friend to all with whom she was associated. She professed faith in Christ, in her nineteenth year, and united with the Baptist Church, but later she changed her membership to the North Parkersburg M. E. Church, South. She was united with the church in all its departments, and was a persistent worker, so far as her strength would permit, in every thing from keeping the house of God neat and comfortable to working at the revival alter. The loss of this good woman will be felt by this church but the memories of her, and her good example is a savior of life to all.
Her last statements were victorious. She said to her husband " I am going to that good home, and Jesus is with me." Her exhortation was, to meet her in glory. We feel that our loss is her eternal gain.
