MRS. MARTHA J. PULLEY
Mrs. Martha J. Pulley, wife of Jonathan Pulley, of Benton township, died at her home on Monday, November 10th. The actual cause of her death was probably the combined effect of a generally broken down physical condition and grief for the death of her son, Andy, who died recently, very suddenly.

On March 3, 1853, she was married to Jonathan Pulley, who survives her. In 1860, they removed to Lucas County, Iowa, where they have lived ever since. Deceased was a member of the M. E. Church, having joined at the age of 18.
She leaves a sorrowing husband and son and three daughters to mourn her loss.
The funeral took place on Tuesday. The services were conducted by Rev. M. Tidball, of the U.P. Church.
