Jane Heartgrove Dickson [Female] b. 16 DEC 1816 - d. 6 APR 1884 Cochrans Grove Cemetery, Windsor, Shelby Co., IL

Died, at her home in Ash Grove, Sunday, 6 Apr 1884 Mrs. Jane Curry in the 78th year of her age. Deceased had been sick a long time. The immediate cause of death was a tumor in the side. "Old Aunt Jane" as she was familiarly called was one of the oldest settlers and was respected and loved by all who knew her, for her kind motherly ways. All through her long life she was ever kind and sympathetic with her neighbors. She was always social and pleasant. She united with the Christian church some years ago and lived a devoted Christian life. The funeral took place Monday at the Grove church Elder Harrold officiating. Mother Curry leaves several children, among whom is Mrs. J. T. Poe of our city, numerous grandchildren and other relatives and friends to mourn her departure. It is truly said "the Young may die, the old must die." In either case it is sad to part with loved ones; but it is pleasant to reflect upon the well spent life of those who live to a good old age. We should all try to imitate their life of virtue, that it may be said of us, whether we live long or die young, that we have not lived entirely in vain. - Windsor Gazette - 10 Apr 1884... Ash Grove items - Died at her home in Ash Grove, Sunday, 6 Apr, of tumor, Mrs. Jane Curry, she leaves six daughters, two sons and a host of friends. to mourn her loss.

James T. Poe. Died at his home in Windsor April 1, after a long illness. Rev. E. K. Crews conducted the funeral services at the Christian church Tuesday afternoon. Mr. Poe has lived a long and useful life. He was known throughout this section as a peaceful, quiet mannered old man and his friends were many. Along last fall he wrote the following sketch, knowing that the end was near, and requested that it be read at his funeral, which was done. It is the record of a good life and one from which many a sermon might be preached.

Autobiography - Windsor, Ill., Nov. 2, 1900. I, James Thomas Poe, was born Feb. 19, 1834 in what is now Richland township, Shelby county, Illinois, and never lived outside of Richland, Ash Grove and Windsor townships, and never in my whole life over four miles from Windsor. I was married to Elizabeth Curry, May 4, 1854. Unto us were born 10 children, viz; John N. Poe,; Nancy J., deceased, wife of R. N. Evans; James I., William, Mary C., wife of W. A. Russell; Ella, who died in infancy; Charles A., George A., Hattie L. [Baker] and Anna. Of my sisters and brother there are Mrs. Hannah Jones, Mrs. Rena Kemp, Mrs. Mary Turner, Mrs. Denna Renner, Mrs. Kate Shearer, and John N. Poe. My wife died Feb. 9, 1899. The next January, 1900, I was taken sick and have been more or less a constant sufferer. I have tried to leave a moral Christian life, although I have never professed religion openly. I have worked hard all my life and tried to be honest and prosperous in everything that I have done. But it seems as though I have failed many times. I never had the pleasure of traveling much. I never used intoxicating liquors, tobacco or cigars in my life. I acted in the capacity of constable in Richland and Ash Grove townships, 14 years, as school director in Ash Grove three years, and as justice of the peace and mayor of Windsor 21 years next May. If I live until Feb. 19, 1901, I will be 67 years old. But my feelings now prompt me to say that it is a matter of a short time. But during my sickness I have tried to bear it patiently, hoping for relief in that welcome visitor. This is written by myself. When I am dead I want this read at my funeral, then published in The Windsor Gazette. Good bye to all. J. T. Poe - Windsor Gazette - 4 Apr 1901

Abraham Kemp [Male] b. 13 APR 1836 Fairfield Co., OH - d. 3 AUG 1914 Shelby Co., IL

Shelbyville Democrat - 17 Oct 1907 - Golden Wedding Day - Fifty years ago Tuesday, or on Oct. 15, 1857, occurred the wedding of Abraham Kemp and Miss Arena Poe at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Abner Poe, in Richland township, Shelby county, IL. In the presence of a multitude of friends and relatives, Rev. Aaron Hood, a pioneer Baptist preacher, performed the interesting ceremony. When asked Saturday how many were present at the wedding, Mr. Kemp replied, "The house was full, the yard was full and the woods were full." We guess that about expresses it, because in those days when a prominent couple were to be married, it was the custom to invite everybody within a radius of eight or ten miles to the wedding. To fittingly celebrate and observe their fiftieth anniversary, a host of their friends and relatives were invited to their home at Windsor, Tuesday, where an elaborate and sumptuous feast was spread. The day was spent in merry-making and feasting and of telling stories of pioneer days by the older ones of the assembled guests. Mrs. Kemp, as Miss Arena Poe, was one of the most handsome girls in all that part of the country and when young Kemp won her hand he was envied by all the young men 'round about there. She is a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Abner Poe of Richland, who are remembered by many of the older people of Shelby county. Abner Poe, in his day, was one of the most prominent men in Shelby county, being an extensive farmer, stock raiser and stock shipper. There was a time when he shipped nearly all the stock that was taken from the Windsor market, which in those days was quite extensive. That was before the Wabash railroad was built and all the territory south of Windsor to the county line was Windsor's territory. Arena Poe-Kemp was born in Richland township on March 9, 1839. All her life she has resided within three miles of her birthplace. She is the mother of four children, all living except one. Abraham Kemp was born in Fairfield county, Ohio, April 13, 1836, and came with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Strother Kemp, to Shelby county in 1844. Mr. and Mrs. Kemp are now possessed of enough of this world's goods to keep the wolf from the door the remainder of their lives without hard labor. They retired from their farm last May, moving to Windsor, where they have a neat and comfortable home. Their farm, three miles southeast of Windsor, containing 175 acres, is one of the best in Shelby county. Mr. and Mrs. Kemp are held in high esteem by all who know them. All unite in wishing them many more years of health, happiness and prosperity.
