MARTHA ANN KLINE
Martha Ann Spaur, daughter of Anthony and Nancy Spaur, was born in Marion county, Iowa, June 8th, 1854, and departed this life August 17th, 1924, at the age of 70 years, 2 months and 9 days.
On December 11, 1872, she was united in marriage to Peter Kline of Marion county, and to this union were born 6 children, two of which, with her husband, preceded her in death.
Those left to mourn her departure are Francis E. Kline and Mrs. Charles Smith of Russell; Mrs. Poush of Council Bluffs; Earl of Weldon; one adopted son, Walter Kline of Russell; also twenty grandchildren, six great grandchildren, three sisters and six brothers, besides a host of other relatives and friends.
At the age of 14 she was converted and united with the Methodist church at Clinton, Iowa and on November 9th, 1919, she removed her membership to the Russell church. She was a faithful and consistent member and has always showed her unwavering faith in her Lord and Master.
She was an active member of the Women's Relief Corp and did all she could to aid and comfort others. For many months past she has been a constant sufferer with that dread disease, cancer, yet she bore her suffering with much patience until the end.
The funeral services were held on Wednesday afternoon from the Methodist church, Rev. Neve, the pastor, officiating, assisted by Rev. McKinley. The remains were taken to the Bethel cemetery and laid to rest beside her husband. Many beautiful floral offerings covered the casket.
