DEATH OF A PIONEER
Mrs. Amos Succumbs To Illness At Great Age
AN EARLY RESIDENT OF LE MARS

Mrs. Martha Amos, a pioneer resident of LeMars, died Wednesday morning of
this week at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Grove Young, in Morris, Minn.,
and will be buried in LeMars on Saturday. The funeral service will be held
in the First Methodist Episcopal church at 3 o’clock Saturday afternoon.

Mrs. Amos and her husband, Col. Frank Amos, were pioneer citizens in LeMars,
coming here in the early 70’s, Mr. Amos being for a year engaged in the real
estate business here. They had but one child, Mrs. Wm. Miller, with whom
Mrs. Amos made her home after her husband’s death. When Mrs. Miller died,
her mother went to make her home with her only grandchild, Mrs. Grove Young,
and moved with her to Morris, Minn., a couple of years ago.
