Barnesville Enterprise, Thursday, 3 Aug 1905

This sweet and lovable child, the baby daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Cunard, of West South street has been called to take her place among the angel throng in the better world. Friday morning soon after the midnight hour, and after one weeks illness with cholera infantum, the little life was closed, and grief almost inconsolable came into the hearts of those who idolized the sweet and affectionate little tot. Little Katherine was a few months past three years old, and every one that knew her loved her for her peculiarly laughing, good natured and winsome ways. Only a babe, though she was, the child had won the endearing affection of everyone, and there is not a heart that knew her but loved her and is not saddened by her death in the innocence and prattle of babyhood, and the sympathy of all go out to the bereaved parents and family in the crushing hour of their bereavement.
Funeral services were held at the residence Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, and interment in the Northern cemetery.

From The Daily Independent, Bellaire, Ohio, Thursday June 16, 1887

Mrs. Sarah Jane Jennings, wife of J.G. Jennings, died at her home in the Fourth ward this morning at 8 o'clock, of a complication of diseases. Deceased was an estimable woman, a kind and indulgent mother and cherished wife. She was a daughter of Joseph Taggart, Esq., of the vicinity of St. Clairsville, and was married to Mr. Jennings Jund 2d, 1846. This union, covering a period of almost half a century, was a most happy one, and the sudden breaking of the golden cord now is peculiarly sad. Nine children were born to them, eight of whom, seven girls and one boy, are still living. All are grown, and nearly all are married, only two remaining at home. Mrs. Jennings had been a consistent member of the Presbyterian Church since its organization here, and lived to see her children grow in excellence as they grew in years. Affectionate and tender, the family ties are broken in sincere and bitter sorrow, while deep in the innermost recesses of the hearts steeped in grief rankles the thought that one so kind and true as Mother might have longer been spard to the fruition of a well spent life. But her fate is the common fate of all, and with a firm conviction of a home in that house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens, she went to her reward. The family have the heart-felt sympathy of a large circle of friends in their sore bereavement. Funeral services will be held at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon at the family residence. Interment in Rose Hill Cemetery.
