The many friends of Miss Jessie Rider, daughter of Mrs. Ellen Rider, will be pained to learn that she died Sunday afternoon at five o'clock following a seven weeks suffering from partial paralysis caused by infection of the brain.
Being unable to move or speak, death came as a relief.
Jessie Ruth Rider was born on a farm seven miles north of Spencer on January 19, 1893, and died at her home a short distance north of Spencer, October 23, being at the time of her death, 23 years, 9 months, and 4 days old. She graduated from the Spencer High School with the class of 1916 and the following summer attended the Iowa State Normal School of Cedar Falls. The next year she taught in our south Spencer school, then for two years in Gillette Grove and had just entered upon her second year's work in the primary school of Cornell, at the time she was stricken with her last illness.
For many years she had been a faithful member of the Church of Christ, serving for some time as President of the Young Women's Circle and a teacher in the Sunday School, where her cheery smile will be greatly missed by her many friends and co-workers. Her father died in September 1911, there now being left to mourn her loss, her mother, one brother, Judson, and two sisters, Gladys and Verna, all of Spencer, besides many other relatives and friends.
The funeral service was conducted by Rev. W.F. Hurst on Wednesday afternoon, October 26th and interment being in Riverside cemetery.
