NEVADA WOMAN DIED

Mrs. Elma Martin, 59, of Nevada, was found dead in her home Monday evening by her son, Delbert Martin, when he called at the residence for her. The cause of death was asphyxiation by gas and she had been dead over an hour when found. She had been in ill health for some time and it is thought that she might have suffered another heart attack and fell over on the gas stove in the kitchen and accidentally turned on one of the burners when she fell to the floor.

The funeral will be held in the Lutheran church in Nevada Thursday afternoon. Her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Delbert Martin, was formerly Miss Floy Eggland of this place.
