JACKS FUNERAL HELD SUNDAY

JASPER COUNTY PIONEER IS LAID TO REST IN THE OS- . BORNE CEMETERY. The funeral of William Edward Jacks, which was held Sunday afternoon, was one of the very largest ever held in the county. The services were held at the late home in Marion township and interment was made in the Osborne cemetery, which is in the township in winch Mr. Jacks was born. The Rev. William T. Barbre had charge of the services at the home and the Local order of Modern Woodmen, of which the deceased was a member, gave its burial ceremony at the grave. The very large number of relatives and friends in attendance at the funeral services testified to the love and esteem in which Mr. Jacks and his family were held. Death came to this venerable citizen at 11 p. in., June ID. Had he been sparedthirty-six hours more of life he would have been sixty-two years of age.
