Martin, wife of Mr. James Martin, died at their home in town on October 12, 1911, at the age of 59 years. The family came from Kewanee, Illinois, to this county in 1881, and have purchased and occupied various farms since then, and their home for some time has been south of the Evergreen church, but they have a house in town where Mrs. Martin chanced to be when she was taken worse and died. She had been ill over two years. Besides the husband left to mourn after nearly thirty-five years of wedded life, there are three sons and two daughters, all residents of Lamoni and Evergreen, and good and worthy citizens. Mrs. Martin united with the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ when she was nineteen years old, and she lived a consistent life as wife, mother and follower of Christ. The funeral was held on Sunday afternoon. The Saints' Church was filled with people from Lamoni and Evergreen, and nearly forty teams were in the procession to the [Rose Hill] cemetery. John Smith had charge, R.M. Elvin offered prayer at the house and church, and H.A. Stebbins preached the sermon.
