Narrative

[Obituary for Mrs. Nancy Jane Call, from the Bluffton Evening Banner, 25 Sep 1916; posted online to the FindaGrave.com website.]

[headline] NANCY JANE CALL DIES EARLY SUNDAY
[second headline] CRAIGVILLE WOMAN HAD BEEN BEDFAST FOR THE PAST SEVEN WEEKS

Mrs. Nancy Jane Call, aged 69 years, died at 7 o'clock Sunday morning at her home in Craigville. She had been ailing for several months, but was not taken bedfast until about seven weeks ago. She failed in health rapidly during the last three weeks.

Born in Delaware County, Indiana, January 20, 1847, the daughter of Lorenzo and Hannah DeWitt. Mary (sic) Jane Call was sixty-nine years, eight months and four days of age at the time of her death. She was only a few years old when her parents moved to Huntington County and was raised to young womanhood there. It was in the year 1867 that she married John Call,
of Huntington County. They resided in that county until about ten years ago, when they purchased a farm three miles north of Craigville. A few years after moving to Craigville Mr. Call died, and Mrs. Call then moved to the little town, giving the farm interests over to her son.

Mrs. Call became well known and highly respected during her few years stay in Craigville. She was a member of the Christian Union Church.

Surviving are four sons and two daughters, who are William, of Huntington; Joseph, residing on the home farm; Frank, of Bluffton; Noah Call, at home; Mrs. Albert Trullender, of Bluffton, and Clara Call, at home. Two sisters, Mrs. Malinda Purdue, of Muncie, and Mrs. Frank Swaim, of Huntington, also survive.

The funeral service will be held 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon at the Pleasant Valley Church two and one-half miles north of Craigville in charge of Rev. Marshall Gray. Burial will be in the Shady Cemetery.
