A Sudden Death - Lincoln Township Lady Died Quite Suddenly - The sudden death of Mrs. Martha Nickell, aged 68, on April 16, 1907, at her home north of Englevale, cast a feeling of sadness over the community in which she had lived for many years and was loved by those who knew her.

Martha Jane Bixler was born in Cass County, Illinois in October 1839. She moved with her parents to north Missouri about 1855, where she married Hiram Nickell in 1857. They moved to Kansas in 1869 and made this their home most of the time since. She was the mother of six children, all living, but only three were present at the funeral, C.C and J. M. Nickell and Mrs. May Elliott of Arcadia. The sons, T.B. living in Colorado and W. A. in Montana, were not here.

She had been a good, kind Christian wife and mother and led a worthy example of a Christian life. She had belonged to the Primitive Baptist church many years, and is now enjoying that sweet rest that the Master promised to his faithful servants.

With her aged husband and children, she left six brothers and three sisters to mourn her departure. Of a family of ten children surviving to be adults, her death was the first break in the chain of life. Two brothers, T. C. Bixler of Englevale and W. W. Bixler of Bartlesville, Okla. and two sisters, Mrs. Nan Dearing of Drywood, and Mrs. Sarah Nickell of Nowata, Okla. attended the funeral which was held at the school house, where appropriate words were spoken by Rev. Huddleston, after which a large crowd followed the remains to the cemetery where they were laid to rest.
