The news, though sad, was not unexpected for the good lady had been a sufferer for ten long weeks and for days her life had been despaired of. But like all we love and cherish, it was hard to believe that one so pure and good, one so generally loved by everyone in the community, one who was the mother to the motherless and a friend to every one, would not be spared to still further years of usefulness. It had to be, however, and when the bright sun was slowly sinking in the western sky, the spirit went to the God who gave it, and the gray haired old man whose comfort had been in the pure and devoted wife, the children who loved her as only they could love a mother, and the friends around whom she had so often been a ministering angel only looked at the empty casket that had contained the soul of a devoted wife, a loving mother, and a faithful friend. Mrs. Martha Updegraff was 53 years old at the time of her death. Her maiden name was McCormick, and she was born in Indiana. She was first married to Mr. McWilliam and by that marriage had two children, Mrs. Collins of Hutchinson, and Mrs. Widner of this place. She was married to Judge Updegraff in Iowa 32 years ago and 30 years of that time she had been living with him in Kansas. By this marriage she had three, children, who are still living, they being Alfred, Mary and Minnie who have been raised principally in this county, the Judge being the earliest settler here. The immediate cause of her death was uremic poisoning caused by disease of the kidneys. She was first taken with an ulcer of the stomach and an abscess of her lower lobe of her left lung and suffered extremely for more that eight weeks. She was buried Thursday, and the funeral procession being the largest ever seen in the county. All of the old residents were present and in fact nearly all of our citizens were present to show a last mark of respect to the memory of a worhty woman.
