"JESSE POWNALL DEAD.
Jesse POWNALL, one of the pioneers of Greene county and the section north of Odon, died at
the home of his daughter, Mrs. William MOORE, August 26, aged 89 years, 4 months, and 15
days.
Mr. POWNALL was born in West Virginia, April 11, 1815. He later moved to Ohio, and in
Portage county, that state, on January 24, 1839 he married Nancy M. SWIFT, who died in
November 1874.
While living in Ohio, in 1840 he united with the Christian church, and at the time of his
death was an active member in the church of that denomination at Newberry.
He was the father of sex children, four of whom are living. They are Mrs. Hiram HUGUNIN,
Mrs. William MOORE, George W. and John B. POWNALL. They are all well known, being among
our best citizens of this vicinity.
The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. C. H. Buchanan at M. Nebo Saturday
morning. Burial took place in the Chandler cemetery."
