Ferdinand Jahue "Jadie" BROOKS

Mount Zion Cemetery
Pemiscot County,
Missouri

18 Feb 1869 Mo
11 Oct 1922 Pemiscot, MO
Parents:
James Franklin Brooks (1832 - 1893)
Sarah Ann Richardson Brooks (1841 - 1932)
Spouse:
Emma Jane Ketchum Brooks (1877 - 1943)

F.J. Brooks, known among his friends and acquaintances as Jadie, died at four o'clock last Wednesday morning, at his home near this city. Funeral services were conducted Thursday afternoon, by Rev. C.N. Gaines, pastor of the Methodist Church and interment was made at Mt. Zion Cemetery. The funeral services were solemn and impressive and a beautiful part of the last rites was the participation of the Vaugh Quartette.
Jadie was a native of Pemiscot County, and was about 53 years old. Besides many relatives and a host of friends, he leaves a wife and two sons and one daughter to mourn his departure.
Jadie was one of those big, open-hearted fellows, seldom seeing the more serious side of life. The world to him was more like a big playground than the wearisom and monotonous grind some make of it. Of a bright and sunny disposition, he leaves a memory that will live long in the hearts of all who knew him and he will be missed.
