Democrat
June I, 1899
A pioneer gone to rest.
One more of San Mateo County’s respected pioneers has laid down the burdens of life and gone to rest beyond the tomb. Last Saturday, Mrs. Rebecca J. Jumel, wife of Andrew Jumel, quietly passed from earth after an illness of two years.
Deceased was born in Worcester, Mass. 72 years ago. In July 1863, she was married to Andrew Jumel and for many years resided at the old family home on the mountain.
Twenty-two years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Jumel and their daughter, now Mrs. Lottie Wilcox, moved to this city and during those years, the deceased has endeared herself to a large circle of friends by Whom she will be longed missed and mourned.
The burial took place Monday afternoon. Solemn funeral services were held at the Episcopal Church at 4 o’clock by Rev. George Wallace assisted by Rev. B.G. Lee. The choir sang softly and sweetly “Rock of Ages” and “Nearer My God to Thee”. At Union Cemetery a short service was held by the two clergymen. The following old friends of the family acted as pall bearers: P.P. Chamberlain, Mathew Hedge, W.H Lipp, George W. Lovie, James Hilton, William Holder.
Mrs. Jumel leaves a sister and brother, A. Mathewson of this city and Mrs. Packard of San Gregorio, friends and neighbors who assisted and sympathize with them during their sore trouble. They desire to return thanks to all.
