Mrs. Carrie DeMaret Jack
Death notice in 13 Jan 1899 issue of The Daily Examiner
Death of Mrs. Jack
Another Spirit has Flown to its Happy Home
Beyond the Skies
At 9:40 o'clock last night [12 Jan 1899] in the home of her mother,
Mrs. E. A. DeMaret, the spirit of Mrs. Carrie DeMaret Jack took its flight of its earthly tenement toward
that world of eternal day and sunshine, where joy is perpetual and sorrow unknow [sic]. Although death is common to us all, and the
last debt of nature must be tendered sooner or latter
[sic], the news of the lady's taking off in the fullness of her useful life
will be received by her many true friends in Navasota with special marks of
genuine sorrow. And the family, which is among the town's oldest inhabitants,
will be the recipients of hearty and sincere sympathy in their bereavement.
Mrs. Jack was born in this county 45 years and 11 months ago, and
here received her earliest instructions in the duties of life and blossomed
into womanhood. She was united in married life little less than 25 years ago to
Capt. Sam M. Jack and of recent times has been a resident of Velasco; of this
union there survives five children, two boys and three girls, some of whom have
attained their majorities, while none are babies.
The funeral will take place at 10 o'clock tomorrow evening from the
home of Mrs. DeMaret, to the City cemetery. Friends
and acquaintances are respectfully invited to attend.
