Mrs. Martha Ferrel Barrow

Martha Ferrel was born in Columbina county Ohio, July 25, 1831 and died at her home in Jefferson township, Madison county, Iowa, Oct. 1, 1923 at the age of 92 years, 2 months and 6 days. She came from Ohio to Iowa in 1856 and spent the remainder of her life in Madison county, with the exception of four years that she lived in Polk county.

She was united in marriage to S. W. Barrow in 1861, and to this union were born five children, three sons and two daughters. Two sons, Samuel C. and John D. and one daughter, Mrs. Mary Casper, survive.

Mrs. Barrow united with the Church of Christ in 1870. Mrs. Barrow leaves to hold her in memory the two sons, one daughter, 11 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren. There are also a number of nieces and nephews. Other more distant relatives and a large number of friends and neighbors unite with the closer relatives through the spirit of tender sympathy.

Funeral services were conducted from the Barrow home Thursday afternoon by E. B. Chancellor, minister of the Winterset Church of Christ. Burial was made in the North River cemetery.
