  [S3] Newspaper article, Page 5, Column 5, 09 Dec 1887. Cynthia Whitney Jewell was born in Detroit, Michigan, January 7, 1807. June 16, 1833, she was married to Elias Jewell Sr. he being a widower with five children, three boys and two girls, those with one exception have preceeded her. The Lord, who is too wise to err, too good to be unkind, has in his great goodness, spared the life of the youngest son, Elias Jr., and his amiable wife to care for her in her declining days. Mrs. Jewell descended from a noble family. Her father and grandfather, were men who loved "home and native land" and when their country was in need of men to protect it from a foreign foe, they cried, "hold the fort for we are coming," and they went, were in the army of 1812 at the time of Hull's surrender, when the deceased was a child. Monday, November 28, at 12 o'clock her sun went down, her spirit returned to God who gave it, and her remains rest in the Jewell cemetery, beautiful spot of earth where the trees not only protect her tomb but afford a home for the birds as they build their nests and sing "praises to Him that livith for ever and ever. Today she dwells in that city where "they need no candle neither light of the sun, for the Lord God givith them light." Dr March has well said: No night shall be in heaven, no gathering gloom Shall o'er that glorious land-scape ever come; No tears shall fall in sadness o'er those flowers That breathe their fragrance through celestial bowers. No night shall be in heaven, no darkened room, No bed of death, nor silence of the tomb But breezes ever fresh with love and truth Shall brace the frame with an immortal youth.
