GLEASON and Mrs. Marvin B HUMPHREYS, all of show survive her. She was married to F. T. HUMPHREYS (sic. Fielding Thomas HUMPHREYS, a widower) April 8th, 1877, and one child was born to them, Fielding Dawes of Hooper, Neb. Mrs. H. was converted and united with the church in early womanhood and lived a true christian life. She lived her life of faith by doing the will of her master. She was a faithful wife and mother, tenderly devoted to her family. She had been a sufferer from paralysis for four years. Her last intelligible words were, "I have seen my Lord and will soon be released." All that kind hearts and loving hands could do was done for her. The family wishes to thank the friends who were so kind in the hour of affliction. -------- Note: The Jefferson County Republican issue of December 15, 1899 reprinted essentially the same obituary, with certain text paraphrased. The microfilm image for a good portion of the text is obscured by microfilm smudging. The following sentence appeared at the end of the otherwise mostly same text: "....hour of affliction. The funeral services were held in the M.E. church at 11 a.m. Dec. 11, 1899, after which the remains were interred in the Friends cemetery at Pleasant Plain." -------- Note: Martin Van Buren Gleason was born and raised in New York. He was a harness-maker and reportedly died in Washington state on December 25, 1906. His burial whereabouts has not been determined by this contributor at this time. Any additional information would be appreciated.
