Miss Martha McGregory was born in the state of New York 17 June 1817 and in childhood came with her parents to Iowa, and settled in Clinton County, died at her home in Fonda Iowa 4 December 1893.

The decease was married to Jacob Stutteman in Maquoketa Iowa, 9 August 1875.

The funeral was held from the M.E. church in the next day after her death. Rev Z. C. Bradshaw officiating.

It will not be regarded by anyone that there was undue haste in having the funeral the day following her death, when it is kown that it was out of the question to keep the remains longer.

Mrs. Stutteman was out sleighriding with her daughter and friend on the afternoon of the evening of her death. How quick the thread of life may be snapped! Thus ends the life of an abiding friend and neighbors a loving and indigent mother and a true and faithful wife.

The deceased leaves a husband and four children two boys and two girls, to mourn her loss. The bereaved family have the sympathy of the entire community.
