Grandma Martin Goes To Her Final Reward –
Mrs. Joseph Martin died last Saturday at her home east of Wolbach. Although she has been ailing for several years, she was bedfast only about ten days before her death which was caused by age and diabetic trouble. For several years Mrs. Martin had been afflicted with blindness, but during that time had shown a patience and a beautiful character that endeared her to all who came in contact with her. Even though she realized the end was near, she greeted her friends cheerfully during the last days of her life. Mrs. Martin was a loving and faithful mother, always thinking of the welfare of others.
Funeral services were held at the Methodist church, Monday afternoon and the body was laid to rest with appropriate ceremonies, in Hillside cemetery.
Mrs. Martin, whose maiden name was Mary Abigal (sic) McKeeman, was born in Animosa, Iowa, November 4, 1856, and was 70 years, 6 months and 3 days old at the time of her death on May 7, 1927.
On June 10, 1875, she was united in marriage to Joseph Martin at Alerton, Iowa. They resided in Iowa for 4 years, then moved to Kansas where they stayed 11 years. In 1890 they came to Greeley County, Nebr., where they have lived ever since.
Nine children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Martin, namely: Mrs. Nora Lambert, and Robert of Wolbach; William of Ainsworth, Iowa; Clarence and Mrs. Ethel Place of Wolbach; Frank of Denver, Colorado; Wilbert of Proctor, Colorado; and two others that have preceded Mrs. Martin in death. Her sisters are Mrs. Kate Knight of Quimby, Iowa and Mrs. D. F. McIntyre of Wolbach.
She leaves to mourn her loss, her husband, seven children, 23 grand children, one great grandchild and two sisters, besides a host of friends. In 1875 she joined the Associated Presbyterian church and in 1896 she transferred to the Methodist church at Endfield.
CARD OF THANKS – Not being able to personally thank all our friends and neighbors, we take this means of expressing sincere thanks to all those who aided and gave us sympathy during the illness and at the death of our beloved wife and mother.
Joseph Martin, children, and families.
