Clinton MO - Mrs. Jane Hall, wife of A. J. Hall passed away at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, November 9, 1927, at the old homestead where she had resided since March, 1869, near Urich, Mo. Aunt Jane, as she was familiarly known to young and old in that community, was born at Harrisonville, Cass county, Mo., December 7, 1838. She was the last survivor of a family of 12 children. Her parents, Edley and Elizabeth Cornett, were among the early pioneer settlers of Jackson county, Mo., their parents having migrated to that county from Virginia and Kentucky during the eighteenth century. The families were closely related to Jefferson Davis, president of the Southern Confederacy, and the famous Henry Clay. She spent the greater part of her girlhood days in Kansas City, Independence and Westport, Jackson county. Among her schoolmates were the famous Younger children - Jim, Cole and bob; and their sister; also Steve Elkins of West Virginia fame, and many other prominent people of that county. The famous Kit Carson was a very close friend of her family, many of the Davis and Cornett families accompanying him on his expeditions. He made his home when in Jackson county with her uncle, Jessie Davis. Her father went to California in 1849 to seek his fortune in mining and merchandising, making a success in each undertaking. He made the trip overland to that state and settled at Marysville, Cal., where he amassed a great fortune. Mines today at that place are known as the Cornett mines. Word came to his wife and family that he had died a few hours before his contemplated departure for home. The natural supposition was that he had been murdered for his money. California being such a lawless place at that time, no satisfaction could be obtained regarding his death and the money and property could never be traced. To this day it remains one of the unsolved mysteries. Aunt Jane professed faith in Christ at an early age and united with the old Stone church at Westport, Mo., always moving her membership when she changed her residence. She had been a member of the Urich Baptist church since the erection of the first church building at Old Urich. She never doubted the love of her Savior whom she tried to follow very closely, always helping the needy and administering to the suffering, with always a thought for others instead of self. She spoke often during her illness of her Savior's love and begged and prayed to be taken home to rest, as she had long been a sufferer. She was united in marriage to A. J. Hall, of Jamestown, Mo., July 6, 1865. To this union were born five children - Mrs. Ida Hudson, now with her father, Mrs. Lulu Elliott of California, Mo.; Van W., Bert and Gene Hall, all of Urich. These with the aged husband, one son-in-law, three daughters-in-law, 10 living grandchildren and a host of other relatives are left to mourn her departure. Her mind was clear and active during her life and up to the time of her departure, having spoken her husband's name shortly before the summons came. A remarkable incident is the fact that she and her husband, Uncle Jack, were each almost 89 years of age, her oldest child 61 and the twins, her youngest, are 50 years of age, and she was the first broken link of the family. Funeral services were conducted Nov. 11, 1927. Interment at the Urich cemetery.
