After Long Illness
Mrs. Wesley Hosmer, 70, died at her home in this city at

several months duration. Funeral services were

Jennie Alice Tidd was born at Holliston, Mass, December
28, 1857. In 1860, she moved with the family to
Independence, Iowa, becoming one of the pioneers of that
part of the Middle West. In 1904 she moved to Sherwood.
She is survived by her husband, Wesley Hosmer; her
daughter, Mrs. A. E. Sherk; her son, E. D. Hosmer; and
six children, all of Sherwood; a brother H. H. Tidd, of
Independence, Iowa and one niece, Mrs. Zella Olsen, of
Portland.
Her life was marked by her devoted work in Christian
activities. she served as teacher or superintendent in
the Sunday Schools of the Methodist church almost
continuously for over fifty years. During that time she
and her husband organized new Sunday Schools in three
different communities. She helped for years in
maintaining the missionary societies and other
organizations of the church. She was a member for over
twenty-five years of the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, during part of that time serving as president of
the Eugene Union and of the Lane County Union. In 1916
she was made an honorary life member of the Oregon State
Union.
Her faithful services in the Sherwood Methodist Sunday
School will be remembered by the many children who
attended the primary department during the past eight
years, and by members with whom she worked. |
