"Hannah Adelaide Swift, daughter of James and Hannah Sheppard Wilkinson was born near Jackson, Missouri June 10, 1833 and died in Marble Hill, Missouri on January 15, 1910. In her early girlhood, June 21, 1849, in Cape Girardeau County, she married Jefferson W. Limbaugh, a promising young lawyer. The couple located at Jackson, where he worked in connection with his law practice. Mr. Limbaugh and G. W. Miller established the first newspaper in Jackson. Mr. Limbaugh succumbed to the cholera epidemic of 1852, leaving his young wife with two small children: Mrs. (Catherine) Bernice Wilson of Cape Girardeau, and the late J.W. Limbaugh of Jackson.

"On October 17, 1857, Cape Girardeau County, she married Thomas W. Swift. Of this union four children survive her. Mrs. Swift was an extensive and intellengent reader, being particularly familiar with the teachings of the Bible. Her daily life was an exponent of its most sacred precepts. Her ancestors were some of Cape County's most influential, early settlers, holding many positions of honor and trust. She bore the afflictions incident to this life with the patience characteristic of her. She leaves five children and fourteen grandchildren to reverence her memory. It can truly be said of her, a model woman, a noble character has gone from our midst.

Known children are Bernice, J.W., John, Emma Jane, Edward, Florence, and Lucy Ella."
