Monday, while sitting in her home resting, after putting her house in order, Mrs. Martha Day passed peacefully away. She had not been very well lately and yet had not made any special complaint. When one of her neighbors dropped in Monday to see how she was feeling, she found her sitting in her rocking chair apparently asleep. When she did not awaken, she summoned another neighbor and a doctor was soon at the home. His examination sustained their fears. She had indeed fallen asleep, but her sleep was that from which there is no mortal awakening. From all appearances she had finished her work about the house and had sat down to rest, and while resting the end had come. It was very evident that her passing had been entirely peaceful.
Mrs. Day was born in Illinois in 1840 and came to make her home in Albion about fifteen years ago. Not long after coming here, about three or four years, her husband passed away. Since his death, except for brief whiles spent with her children, she made her home alone. That seemed to be her expressed desire. She leaves two children, a daughter whose home is in Clarinda, Iowa, and a son Frank, who resides south of Albion.
The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon from the home conducted by Rev. B. J. Trickey and the body was interred in Rose Hill cemetery beside that of her husband. The daughter and her husband from Iowa and her grandson, L. B. Day of Omaha, were here for the funeral.
