From Find A Grave: Zella Waters Jennings was born at Waterloo, Indiana, November 14, 1860, and departed this life at her home near Bartlett, April 25, 1930, following a severe stroke of apoplexy which occurred a few days ago, April 23rd. She had nearly reached man's full span of life, being 69 years, 5 months and 11 days old. She was united in marriage to Almon I. Jennings, November 14, 1877 at Butler, Ind., and came to Wheeler County, Nebr., ten years later in 1887, settling on a homestead west of Bartlett. The last of another family of courageous early Pioneers. Here they lived till in 1891 they moved to Bartlett. Some years later they moved onto their farm four miles southeast of Bartlett whom she has since resided. Mr. Jennings preceded her in death less than five months ago, December 3, 1929. To this union three children were born: Mrs. Lola Slone, Ericson, Nebr., Mrs. Nona Berney, Bartlett, Nebr., Mr. B. B. Jennings, Ainsworth, Nebr; all of whom remain to mourn the loss of their beloved mother, together with thirteen grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; one sister, Mrs. Ettie Dahl, Casper, Wyo.; two brothers, A. A. Waters, Burwell, Nebr. and G. L. Waters, Lincoln, Nebr. Mrs. Jennings became a Christian in early womanhood, sincerely keeping the faith of her Christ and Savior to the end. She was a devoted Mother; always happy to do for and serve those she loved. She first joined the Christian Church, later united with the Methodist Church at Bartlett.

Her lonely heart no more shall grieve

For him her life-long companion;

For they both are now in Paradise

Reaping what they here have sown.
