A GOOD WOMAN GONE
Mrs. Martha J. Harlow Gently Falls to Sleep for Eternity in this City
SHE WAS BORN NEAR ELMDALE And Has Been All her Life a Faithful and Active Christian Woman
Funeral on Thursday
The news that Mrs. Martha J. Harlow is dead will not be surprising to her many friends who have been aware for several weeks of her condition.
She has been frail physically for several years and for the past two months has been rapidly failing. No particular disease had its grip on her. It was simply a weakening of the bodily powers. The end came Tuesday evening at 7:15 at the home of her son, Fred D. Harlow, 906 West Pike Street, where she had been living for some time. The funeral will occur at the same place Thursday afternoon at 2:00, conducted by her pastor J. F. Rake, and the interment will be at the Wesley Cemetery beside the grave of her late husband Jeremiah Harlow, who died in July 1907. Mrs. Harlow was born in this County on February 3, 1838, near Elmdale, her parents being Mr. & Mrs Nathan Ball. Her father ran a tannery in the early days at Elmdale.
On October 20, 1857, she was married to Jeremiah Harlow and they moved into a log cabin near Wesley. Some years later they moved to another farm in the same neighborhood, and there they lived and brought up their family until eight years ago, when they came to Crawfordsville to make it their home. During their long life in the country they were members of the old Bethel Church of the Baptist denomination and were extremely active in its affairs. Since removing to this city, Mrs. Harlow has been a member of the First Baptist Church.
Mrs. Harlow leaves five children, Nathan G. Harlow of Covington, Willard D. Harlow of Englewood, Oliver A. Harlow of Indianapolis, Mrs. Bertha J. Bitler, of Elwood, and Fred D. Harlow of this city. One daughter, Mrs. Clara Utterback, is deceased. She also has two brothers, Oliver Ball of Decatur, Ill., and Dennis Ball of Bement, Ill. All the children were here at the time of her death and the two brothers are expected to attend the funeral.
