Milton, Jan. 21 - The funeral services of Mrs. Henry Waterman were held in Janesville last Friday morning at the home of her daughter, Mrs. David Brown. A large number of friends and neighbors were present. The services were conducted by Rev. A. L. McClelland of this place, the song service being rendered by Mr. A. J. Root and Miss Grace Spaulding.

Chester was born on 15 November 1821 in New York.1,2

Chester Janes married Mary Jane DeRemer, daughter of Isaac DeRemer and Gitty Runkle, on 17 June 1852 in Union, Rock County, Wisconsin. [Janes-Peek, page 225; Rock County Genealogical Society Newsletter, Vol. 21, Issue 4, March/April 1998, page 44; Janes, page 361, apparently gives the date of their marriage incorrectly as 15 November 1851]
      Their Rock County, Wisconsin, marriage certificate reads: "Be it Remembered that on the 17th day of June A.D., 1852 in the Town of Union that Chester Janes of Union and wife Mary Jane Deremer of Magnolia were with their mutual consent legally joined together in matrimony which was solemnized by me in the Presence of Hial Eastman of Magnolia and James Deremer of Union, attending witnesses having been first satisfied by the oath of Mr. Chester Janes duly administered by me that there was no legal impediment to such marriage.
      David Johnson
      Minister of the Gospel"

.

Chester died on 18 May 1888, in Magnolia, Rock County, Wisconsin, at age 66. He died of apoplexy at age 66. [Rock County, Wisconsin, Deaths, Vol. 2 (1882-94), page 159, no. 12] Chester Jane's 1888 death certificate gives his occupation as farmer. He was buried in Maple Hill Cemetery, Evansville, Rock County, Wisconsin.


Chester Janes came to the spot where Janesville, Rock County, Wisconsin, now stands in 1836 with his famous cousin, Henry F. Janes who established a tavern there, became the first postmaster and gave his name to the community. After staying three years, Henry F. Janes departed for California in 1839.
      Chester Janes returned east and brought his parents and siblings to Rock County, Wisconsin, circa 1841. [Rock County Genealogical Society Newsletter, Vol. 21, Issue 4, page 44].
