DIED--At her home in Eden Township, Decatur County, Ia., Wednesday,
October l7, l894, MRS. MARTHA GAMMON.

MARTHA ROBINSON was born in Washington County, Ind., February l9, l894.
Was united in marriage to GEORGE W. GAMMON, March 20, l839.  Moved to
Iowa in l849.  Their union was blessed by eleven children, all of whom
are living except one son, who died in his thirteenth year.  Nine of the
children were with her during her last illness and five of them were at
her bedside when the death angel summoned her home.

She joined the Christian Church when quite young and was a devoted and
consistent member of the church up to the day of her death.

She was esteemed and loved by all who knew her; a remarkable example of
patience and kindness.  The entire community has sustained an
irreparable loss.  Her children will miss that gentle voice which
soothes as only a mother's voice can.  And her husband will cherish her
memory for cheerfully sharing with him the burdens that necessarily come
to all along the dusty road of life.

A large concourse of neighbors and friends attended a short and
impressive funeral service at the home and followed the remains to the
Dye Cemetery where she was tenderly laid to rest to await the
resurrection morn.
