FUNERAL SERVICES FOR MRS. JACKS TOMORROW
Body of Former Niles Resident Brought Here From Chicago
The funeral services for Mrs. Carolyn Jacks, widow of Allan E. Jacks, will be held from Trinity Episcopal church tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. Harold Holt will conduct the funeral services. Interment will occur in the family lot at Silver Brook cemetery.
The body was brought to Niles last evening from Chicago by Phillip Jacks, a son of the deceased. Today the body was taken to Trinity Episcopal church where it will lie in state until tomorrow afternoon.
Mrs. Jacks' death followed an illness of several months' duration from heart disease. Her death occurred at the Hinsdale sanitarium.
Mrs. Jacks was a former prominent and beloved resident of Niles for many years, coming to Niles in the early seventies, with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. Gates Rice, her sister, Virginia and brother Harry. The family possessed unusual musical talent and for a number of years Mrs. Rice was organist in the Episcopal church where Mr. Rice and his daughter Mrs. Jacks also sang, both possesing [sic] beautiful voices. Mrs. Jacks was a deeply religious woman and a devoted member of the church. Her death comes as a sorrow to many in Niles, to whom she had endeared herself. Although of late years Mrs. Jacks had made her home in Chicago, she frequently returned to Niles and only recently resided here for several months.
Mrs. Jacks is survived by six children, who are Phillip, Harry and Arthur Jacks, all of Huntington, West Virginia; Mrs. W.S. Kelly and Miss Carolyn Jacks of Chicago, and Mrs. Weisenberg, of Pitasburgh. Besides the children Mrs. Jacks is survived by one sister, Mrs. Worth Landon, of Chicago.
Mr. Phillip Jacks and Mr. Weisenburg are in the city to make the funeral arrangements and the other children will arrive tomorrow.
