Excerpt from Sketch of the Life of Mrs. Lyman Trumbull: Together With Notices of Her Death, and the Services at Her Funeral, Including an Address, by Rev. Frederick Howard Wines, Pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, at Springfield; LL. L Julia Maria Jayne, the eldest child of Dr. Gershom and Sibyl Jayne, who were among the first settlers of Springfield, Ill., was born at that place, June 3, 1824. She was educated at Monticello Seminary, one of the best and most flourishing female seminaries in the country. June 21, 1843, at the age of nineteen, she was married to Lyman Trumbull, who then resided at Belleville, Ill. In 1846, on a profession of faith, she united with the 1st Presbyterian Church of Springfield, Ill., and afterwards, by letter, with churches of the same denomination at Belleville and Alton, where she at different periods resided. Her views of redeeming grace and the future life were fixed and remarkably clear. She entertained no more doubt of a future life of blessedness for those who put their trust in Jesus, than she did of the rising of the morrow's sun. Wherever she was, she was always active in promoting the interests of the church, and advancing the cause of the Redeemer's Kingdom. She was the mother of six children, all boys, three of whom, the first, third and fifth, preceded her to the other world, leaving three surviving, of the respective age twenty-two, seventeen and six, the two younger of whom were with her at the time of her decease.
