Obituary for Jane A. (Shannon) Dryden (1837-1912)
No. 038 - Uncited clippings from the "Neva Murphy Hubbard Collection" of Beth Rengers Talken, 1998.

Mrs. Jane A. DRYDEN was born Feb. 13, 1837 and died in Pomona, Calif., Aug. 5, 1912, aged 75 years, 5 months and 22 days.

The subject of this sketch was a daughter of  late James SHANNON and was reared in this county about eight miles east of Troy. She was married to Littleton T. DRYDEN, also of this county April 9, 1856. They moved to California where they spent the most of their life. To this union were born two daughters, Mrs. J.A. MASSIE and Mary.  All have preceded Aunt Jane to the grave. She left no relative nearer than a cousin and a number of neices and nephews of her husband.

She united with the Mt. Zion A.R. Presbyterian church early in life, but when they moved to California she removed her membership to the M.E. Church South with her husband and continued in that faith to the end. Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord. --A Niece
