  REFN: 88
  Buried Marengo, IA cemetery close to her brother (James W. Jarboe )& son,
  Mervin Allen Simmons.
  Theresa Jarboe Simmons was of the aristocratic old family of Jarboes,
  whose history is linked with chronicles of the Confederacy and
  particularly the state of Maryland.  The Jarboes  were among those who
  with Lord Baltimore colonized St. Mary's County.
  Teresa's obituary states that Theresa A. Jarboe was born in Frederick
  Co., MD, where she married Baker H. Simmons, of the same county & state &
  where they lived until 1881, when her husband died, leaving surviving him
  the wife and nine children, seven sons & two daughters, most of whom had
  removed from the old homestead and located in Iowa prior to the death of
  their father.  In 1887 the remainder of the family composed of Mrs.
  Simmons, James W. Jarboe - her brother-, two sons, one daughter & three
  grandchildren had removed to Iowa and located on a farm near Marengo,
  where the deceased resided to the date of her death.    She was survived
  by her one brother, James W. Jarboe, seven sons and one daughter, all of
  whom, except C.E. Simmons, her youngest son, who resides in Denver Col.,
  were present during her illness and death.  Teresa was forty-one times a
  grandmother and ten times a great-grandmother.  About two weeks prior to
  her death, while in the enjoyment of her usual good health, she was
  suddenly stricken with paralysis of the entire left side of her body. 
  She remained in a helpless condition from the moment she was stricken,
  yet she retained the power of speech and was conscious to the hour of her
  death.
