He leaves the following children: Mrs. MILLER of this city, Mrs. HEWITT of Indianola, Mrs. F. C. CAMPBELL of Houston, Texas, Mrs. U. S. FLETCHER of Portland, Ore., Mrs. R. L. RASMUSSEN and L. C.

Note: The more or less correct spelling of Mathew's wife is: Marilla Amanda Salladay. The Salladay surname does have several variations that can be found; the one used in this obituary appears to be a simple typo of leaving out the final 'a'.

Buried at Evergreen Cemetery, Old.P.001
