Pioneering Greencastle Teacher Mrs Myra Jewett Dies
The death of Myra Jewett at Greencastle marks the loss of a long time educator and devoted Christian. Born 1802 in Pepperell Massachusetts she taught in Indiana and began Greencastle’s first Sabbath school in 1835, later guiding students with patient faith. She endured years of hardship after marriage to J B Jennings in 1841 and faced illness with quiet resignation. Her funeral was held at home with Prof Ballentine and Dr Fisk officiating.
