Jane Chlo was described as ``a cultured woman who wrote poetry''.

Jane Chlo belonged to the Baptist church as a young woman, but after a Reformation of the church, she went with the branch which became the Church of Christ (Disciples), then known as Campbellites. She was well informed in the Scriptures, zealous and a good talker, pleasant but firm.

TQ's letter gives several details about Jane Chlo's death. She wasn't as healthy as some girls, but had generally good health for a number of years. Before Nancy Jane was born, Jane Chlo's health started going worse, starting with scrofula being shown by swelling of the glands on the neck. These were removed, but she did not recover her usual health, and before Nancy Jane was born she was scarcely able to be about. After she was born she appeared quite smart. But a fatal accident took away all hope for recovery. She was given an opium overdose by mistaking a strong medicine for a much weaker one. Between the effects of this and the scrofula, she suffered greatly for nearly a year, and her only constant desire was for her husband by her side.
