A SPLENDID PIONEER
CASS COUNTY WOMAN
Mrs. Mary Jane Jean Now Nearir.g
Her Ninety-Sixth Year One
of the Early ''Residents
From Thursday's Dally.
One of the pioneer residents of
this portion of Cass county is Mrs
Mary J. Jean, widow of the late
Nelson Jean, and who has for the
past few years bem making her
home with her children and enjoy
ing the beauties of a ripe old age
surrounded and cared for by the
loving hands of Ler descendants.
Mrs. Jean was hrrn in Indiana,
December 19, 1S25, when that por
tion of the United States was still
a part of the frontier of civilization
and where hardships of the early
settler was still endured by the
hardy pioneers of which the parents
of Mrs. Jean had their part. She was
married in Green county of that
state on August 4. 1844 to Nelson
Jean and in the year 1856 the young
people started for the new country
lying in what is now Cass county
and thereupon they commenced the
task of making a home out of the
unbroken stretches of the lands of
the west. Mr. and Mrs. Jean made
their home in this portion of the
county up to the. tine of the pass
ing of the husband and father and
since that time the widow has spent
her declining years under the tend
er ministrations of lr children who
have taken an a measure the piace
of the kind and loving husband who
had gone on before. There are five
of the children living of this splen
did pioneer lady: Charles L. Jean,
who lives near here on the farm,
Mrs. Harriett Murray of Salt Lake,
Mrs. Sarah Ervin of Seattle, Mrs. A.
N. Sullivan and Mrs. Alice Collins
of Omaha.
The period of life of this splendid
lady has far surpassed that of the
ordinary man or woman and the for
ward march of the nation and the
world since her birth has been won
derful and to have had the oppor
tunit3' of witnessing the many
changes is a great opportunity. Mrs.
Jean is still bright and alert and
takes a keen interest in the progress
of events not only in her home but
in the busy world outside.
At the time of her birth John
Quincy Adams, sixth president of
the United States, was starting his
term in the ollice of the presidency,
the power of Spain in the New World
still embraced a great part of the
western hemisphere and the political
parties of the nation were still in
the processes of their formation in-'
to two great parties, whig and dem
ocratic. Andrew Jackson was the
foremost of the leaders of the na
tion at that time. At the time of her
birth the railroad lines of the Unit
ed States were limited to a few miles
in the east and communication at
any distance was a matter of days.
weeks and mouths. She has lived :
thru two of the greatest wars oi
history, the Civil and the World and
now in the sunset of life is given
the opportunity of seeing the nations
of the world attempt to agree to
disarm and have a durable and last
ing pea'ce.

A good tiwn is everybody's town, one in
