OBITUARY

Martha Adeline, daughter of Adam and Mary Ann Teter was born near Upton, Iowa, April 6, 1859 and passed away August 16, 1927 at 7:20 p.m. at the age of 68 years, 4 months and 10 days.

She was reared to young womanhood on the same place. December 6th 1883 she was united in marriage to John E. Silver of Home prairie. To this union were born two children, Oris Cleon who passed away September 18 1902, Lula Belle who was with her to the last. Her companion passed on August 20, 1910. Besides the daughter she leaves the son-in-law who was truly a son to her and who was appreciated as one, grandson J. Everet Silver Hoskin, who was the pride of her heart, one sister, Jane Alice passed away in infancy, another sister, Susanna and one brother John Franklin passed away a number of years ago also Mrs. Isabelle McLeland, Dec. 25, 1923. Others left are brothers Will, [O.] E. and Hugh of Cantril, Iowa and G. R. of Moberly, Mo., besides a number of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

To know her was to love her. It is not necessary to say more as the life she has lived will speak for itself. She united with the United Brethern [sic] Prairie View Church when still quite young and her letter was transferred to the Me. E. Church at Upton, Iowa, which still remains there as she was so hopeful there still might be church there.

The family would like to take this way of thanking each and every one for floral offerings, singers and every one that helped in any way. Your services will always be remembered.
