Martha Jane HUTTON, eldest daughter of Stephen and Catherine Hutton was born in Des Moines Twp, Jefferson County, Ia., July 20, 1854 and passed away at her home 1 1/4 miles west of Batavia at 8:45 P.M. Tuesday, March 6, 1928, at the age of 73 years, 7 months and 15 days.

On March 8, 1877, she was united in marriage to Wm. WILSON of Batavia, Iowa. To this union were born thirteen children: four sons: Wiley, Daniel Levi and Milton having died in infancy. Surviving her are her husband and the following children: Katie and Lee at home; Henry of Lindon, Colo.; Mrs Olive MORRISON of Mussellshell, Mont.; Mrs Oral HARMON of Sheldon, Mo.; Jerry WILSON and Mrs Mattie ARBOGAST of Agency, Iowa; Mrs Laura URFER and John H. WILSON of Allegan, Mich.

She leaves the following grandchildren: Beatrice HARMON; Merle ARBOGAST; Catherine, Harold and Ruth WILSON. She is also survived by four sisters and one brother: Mrs. Rosetta TAYLOR of Eugene, Ore.; Mrs. Mary SMITH of Davenport, Ia.; Mrs. Maggie OLIVER of Selma, Ia.; Mrs. Melissa DeGOOD and Daniel HUTTON of Batavia, Iowa.

Her eldest brother John G. HUTTON of Batavia preceded her in death Jan. 29, 1928. She leaves a host of other relatives and friends including an aged aunt, Mrs. Martha GARBER of Fairfield, Ia.

On March 8, 1927, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. WILSON celebrated their Golden Wedding anniversary.

Mrs. WILSON has been an invalid unable to walk for eighteen years, during ten of which she was confined to her bed. She was afflicted with rheumatism and for the past eight months she has suffered intensely with gall stones and other complications.

She was always so kind and patient, always thinking first of the comforts of others. She never complained, saying "What can't be cured must be endured."

The funeral services were held from the home at 2 o'clock Friday A.M. March 9, 1928 conducted by Rev. O. L. Allison of the Methodist church of Batavia. Music was furnished by a quartette composed of Mrs Sadie Boysel, Mrs Bessie Boysel, P.D. Morley and Fritz Nehre.

The floral offerings were many and beautiful attesting to the love and high esteem in which Mrs WILSON was held by all who knew her.

The remains were interred in the Batavia Cemetery...
