Obit from Ralph Nye
Mrs. Jane Seckner, one of the best known and hightly esteemed residents of
Collinsville, passed to her rest on Wednesday, April 28th, at the home of
Mrs. Frances Wideman, where she had made her home during the past winter,
and was tenderly cared for in her declining days. She had reached the ripe old age
of 85 years, 4 months and 11 days. Her maiden name was Jane Swackhamer,
being a daughter of the late Samuel and Hannah Swackhamer. She was born in
the town of Turin, and was one of 13 children who, with the exception of one
grew up to manhood and womanhood. Six now living, Mrs. John Davis, Mrs. Warren
Johnson, of Glenfield; Mrs. William Maine, of Middleport, NY; Mrs. Newton Payne
of Collinsville; Richard Swackhamer, of Michigan, and Ralph Swackhamer, of West
Turin. At the age of 18 the deceased was united in marriage with Joseph Seckner,
to whom seven children were born, all of whom have preceded her to the grave. Her
husband, a godly man, died 17 years ago, leaving her without husband, child or
grandchild. To some this would seem hard to bear, but she was ever cheerful and
looked on the bright side, which enabled her to surmount the difficulties which came
to her, in a cheerful spirit. She was a member of the Methodist church of Turin, and
lived a consistent Christian life. The funeral services were held from her late home
on Friday at one o'clock and from the Methodish church at Turnin at two o'clock p.m.
Rev. B.F. Wood, of Watertown, officiating. The following persons acted as bearers:
David Hughes, John Evans, Walter Millard, Plat Capron, William D. Lewis, Eli Sabins;

Among the relatives from a distance who attended the funeral were Byron Green, of Ilion; Linas Bailey and Wallace Radley, of Boonville; Edward Payne, of Copenhagen; Mr. and Mrs. William Hassis, Glenfield; Hanabal Johnson and two daughters, of Glenfield.

Mr. Davis died twenty-two years ago and since that time Mrs. Davis has been patiently waiting until God called her to be with her loved ones on the other shore. If she had lived until the 27th of the present month, she would have been 78 years old. She is survived by two sons, Frank R. Davis, of North Chili, and Adelbert Davis, of Beaver Falls, and one daughter, Mrs. W.F. Herrick, of this place; several grandchildren; two brothers, Richard Swackhammer of Michigan, and Ralph Swackhammer, of Turin; three sisters, Mrs. William Main, of Middleport; Mrs. Warren Johnson, of this place, and Mrs. Eliza Payne, of Collinsville.
