Bio

Gone Before Mrs Nancy Jane Denton, wife of George Washington Denton, departed this life Mar 3, 1887, at her home near Greenview, Ill. The funeral services were conducted at the residence by Rev. R. D. Miller, Mar 4, after which her remains were followed by a large concourse of mourning friends to Rose Hill Cemetery, where she was laid to rest by the side of two sons who had preceded her in death to the better land. Mrs Denton was the daughter of Edmund Dedman Power and Martha S Thompson Power. She was born in Kentucky, Nov 7, 1829. She removed with her parents to Illinois in 1829, arriving in the vicinity of Cantrall Nov 3,. On July 11, 1847 she was united in marriage to George Washington "Wash" Denton. She was the mother of six boys and five girls. Two of the boys, and one of the girls (Mrs Trumbo) are dead; the others are all living. Some twenty years ago she united with the Baptist church and lived therein a consistent member to the time of her death. She was a great sufferer for six months previous to her death, being the victim of blood-poisoning, but she bore all with Christian resignation and patience. She was a faithful wife and mother, a loving daughter, and a kind and charitable neighbor. She will long be missed in the community where she lived so long. She died at the age of 58 years, 9 months and 7 days. E. D. Power
