Obituary

Junaetta Rollstin was born in Madison county, Nov. 5th, 1875 and died Aug. 29th, 1904, at the home of her birth. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Porter Rollstin, was married to Frank Martin, Oct. 5th, 1897. Besides her husband and two little boys she leaves a father, mother, four sisters and one brother.

She has been a member of the Bethel M. E. church since 1896.

Nearly three years ago her health began to fail, but her trouble was not thought serious until last December, when she began to grow worse and in March took her bed and has been a great sufferer until death released her from pain. Everything that physicians and loving friends could do was done for her and the devotion of many dear friends was a great comfort to her. During her sickness she showed much patience and Christian faith. The last two weeks of her life she was very anxious to go home to her Savior, telling the weeping ones around her that she was not going to die, just going to Heaven.

Rev. Williams preached the funeral from the home, taking his text from Psalms 116:15 and the interment was made in the Winterset cemetery.
