Dear Sir,
Yours of February 20th received and contents noted. Having been to see my grandfather (John Jobe) and interrogated him in relation to his genealogy, he says he was borned in 1801 in Virginia which makes him 89 years old. His father was named Daniel Jobe and had 6 sons named as follows: Nathan, Jonathan, John, Abraham, Pleasant, Joseph Taylor, also 2 daughters could not remember their names (his mind is feeble). His (Daniel Jobe) father named Samuel Jobe.

...names of David Gallahar the other married Steven Warner. He thinks he was about 2 years old when his father and family moved from Virginia to Jackson Co.,, Tennessee. Some of his brothers moved to Missouri, that was Abraham....He had 4 brothers named Jacob, ...

"She passed away like going to sleep. She was the most natural corpse I ever saw, there seemed to be a smile on her face....The burial procession was small, as every family in the neighborhood has the measles or grippe. Taylor, Mary, and little Joe have all had measles and are doing very well under the circumstances. Billie has not taken them yet, I hope he will not....Bettie you can come home if you think you won't endanger Artie's condition, but don't come if you have to neglect Artie."
"Billie is in bed with measles or la grippe, one or probably both....Your Ma has not slept over three hours a night in the last ten nights. Neither have I. Think God is giving us strength to wait on our children and pray that he will continue to do so. The thermometer registered below zero the day I went after Ziddie's casket. God bless her little soul which I know he has already done." The letter mentioned the many family members that were ill.

"I will write to inform you that poor old Pa passed away fifteen minutes before 2 o'clock Friday evening 28 September....Pa suffered more than pen can tell but he never murmured nor complained. He seemed to be resigned to God's will. I never saw anything to equal it, nor anything more pitiful. He was conscience until about one hour before he died and I believe he was perfectly sane at the last, he never let Uncle Malga leave the bed for hours until he died, he wanted to talk but could not. His throat and tongue was so near paralyzed he died just like he was going to sleep, perfectly easy and no contraction of the face. And no struggling. He breathed shorter and shorter exactly an hour later he became unconscious."The letter spoke of the funeral at Antioch Church. Many family members were present.
"Write when you can, study hard, and be a good girl. Write often to your mother. I will try to write you again sometime, if I live. (She was 76 then and lived until June 1934)
Milbury Jane Jobe made application for a pension under her husband in Alcorn Co.,, Mississippi.
