EARLY SETTLER ANSWERS CALL
MRS. MARTHA DONLIN HAD LIVED HERE PRACTICALLY ALL HER LIFE

Mrs. Martha E. Donlin, a resident of Plymouth County nearly all her life,
passed away at the Methodist hospital in Sioux City, November 2, after an
illness of some duration from heart trouble.

Mrs. Donlin was the widow of Joseph Donlin, a well known farmer and stockman
of Plymouth County during his life time. Mrs. Donlin was born at
Darlington, Wis., April 17, 1871. Her maiden name was Martha Evaline
Woodall. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Woodall, were pioneer settlers in
Plymouth County and located near where the town of Struble was later built.

Mr. Donlin died several years ago. Mrs. Donlin is survived by several
children. Of late years she had made her home a part of the time with her
daughter, Mrs. H. E. Kehrberg, of Stanton township.

The funeral services were held yesterday afternoon at the Methodist church
in Merrill and interment made in the cemetery at Merrill.
