She resided with her son-in-law, Alexander Bayse, who came to Benton county from Portland last March, and has since occupied a 93 acre farm, purchased off the John May’s place, adjoining the farm of Samuel Whitesides. The funeral occurs at eleven o’clock this morning, and the remains are to be interred in the Newton cemetery.
Editor’s note: The two death notice versions are nearly identical. The newspaper accounts misspell Mrs. Breese’s surname and her headstone dates indicate she was 77, not 78 as reported. According to family records, Jane Sargent married Willis P. Breese, likely in the 1830s in Pennsylvania or Ohio. Census records show she was born in Pennsylvania. The couple had two sons and four daughters between 1837 and 1854. Her husband died in 1876 in Wisconsin.
