From a newspaper article found in my great grandmother's family bible:
In Memory of Mrs. Jane Bartley
Mrs. Jane Bartley, who was formerly Miss Jane Victoria Johnson, was born on the 25th day of March, 1857. At an early age of womanhood she was married to Mr. Charlie Johnigean. In the year of 1881, in the full enjoyment of health he was unexpectedly killed by a dissolute man. He was able to speak but few words during his suffering, but to his dear family, a wife and three children, he gave the assurance that the body would soon cease to breathe. These were left to mourn his loss.
After the elapse of ten years she was married to Mr. Wesley Bartley, who for twelve years made a kind and devoted companion, and during this period God blessed them with three children, and in the year of 1905 he was called to his heavenly reward to await his loved ones left behind. On Wednesday afternoon, January 15, 1913, the death angel saw fit to come and take her too to dwell with God and her loved ones who were waiting for her. She possessed from early childhood a vigorous and useful life, and from an early age has been a true and loyal member of Richland Baptist Church. In her social relations she drew all to her by her gentle, sympathetic and earnest devotional feeling. In her intellectual endowments she gave promise of extraordinary development and set an example worthy of closest imitation. In her relations to the home circle the mute and empty chair will silently proclaim the muffled sadness of a bereaved household.
While our grief comes freshly at the dawn of each new day, her sorrows have vanished forever with the night of death, and in the sunburst of glory she is now realizing the consummation of the birth of that blessed religion which was her hope in life and death.
There remained to mourn her loss six children, three boys and three girls, also three brothers and one sister.
"The burden of my heart has rolled away;
It was there by faith I received my sight, and now I am happy all the day." "How happy are the saints above who once went sorrowing here; but now they taste unmingled love, and joy without a tear." "Oh , dear mother, we loved her. No pen can write nor tongue can tell; but the gentle shepherds called her, so we must bid her farewell."
