Martha Baker was born in Somerset county, Pa., July 2, 1840 and died in Cozad, Neb., Aug. 11, 1912.
She was united in marriage to Samuel Chorpenning Oct. 25, 1866. To this union was born nine children, Harry F., Annie E., Mary E., Simon F., George A., Daniel A., Fannie S., Harriet A., and John H. Four of the children preceded the mother to the better world.
In 1878 they moved from Pennsylvania to iowa where they remained eight years. In March 1886 they came to Nebraska and located on a farm six mile north of Cozad. Six years ago they left the farm and moved to Cozad.
Mrs. Chorpenning has been a christian nearly all her life, having united with the German Evangelical church when 15 years of age. When they came to Nebraska the church of her choice was not here and she united with the M. E. church and has been faithful member all these years. She was interested in all departments of the church, but took special pleasure in working in the aid society. During her last illness all the children have been home and this seemed to be great comfort to her, as she was very much devoted to her family.
She passed quietly from labor to reward without a murmur. The father and children will find comfort in the poem by J. Will Jackson:
"Underneath this tall oak, spreading,
Mother's there—justing waiting there.
Why should I the grave be dreading.
When my mother's there?
Though the day be dark and creadry,
Though the night be cold and bleak,
Home e'en then, was bright and cherry,
Could I hear my mother speak.
Close beside this willow, weeping,
Mother sleeps—that sleep so mild.
Why should I death's call be fearing,
When my mother smiled?
Though the grave be lone and gloomy;
Though death's hand in anguish creeps
This one thought will calm and cheer me,
Night is day where mother sleeps."
CARD OF THANKS
