Mrs. S. F. Martin Dies on Thursday
Services Conducted Sunday Afternoon From Family Home
Mrs. S. F. Martin passed away suddenly at her home last Thursday evening. The deceased as Agnes Reeves was born January 26, 1840, at Covington, Kentucky. When she was a small girl her parents moved near Des Moines, Iowa, where she grew to womanhood. In 1868 she was married to Sam F. Martin at Des Moines and they established a home at Lewis, Iowa. The following year they removed to Atlantic, Iowa, where the husband engaged in the hardware business, later taking up the canning industry. In 1892 they removed to Carroll, Iowa, later coming to Blair in 1900 where Mr. Martin took charge of the canning factory.
A niece, who was taken into the home and who became as a daughter, passed away in 1917 and Mr. Martin died in 1919. Of the immediate family Mrs. Martin leaves a sister, Mrs. Caroline McClees, of Freewater, Oregon, and a large number of nieces and nephews, several of whom attended the last rites.
Mrs. Martin was a Christian woman of a modest and retiring disposition, much interested in the progress of her home community. She was mentally alert, with a love for music and poetry and an excellent memory. In a quiet way she used her money benevolently.
Funeral services were conducted at the family home on east Colfax street Sunday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock. Interment was made in the Blair cemetery.
