Mrs. Martha Shoemaker, wife of Ovid Shoemaker, died at her home in Davis City, November 21, 1911. The funeral services were held at the M. E. church the following Wednes day, Rev. Geo. H. Wehn officiating. The large and sympathetic audience and the many beautiful flowers told how dearly loved and estemed was the loved one lying there so peaceful in her last long sleep. Martha M. Adkins was the daughter of Peter and Ida Adkins and was born on the old family home of her father in Harrison county, Misouri, March 6, 1890. She came from there to Davis City to make her home in 1907. Her death came as a severe shock to all, as she had been very sick but was getting better, and all thought her on the way to a speedy recovery. Her father and only brother had preced ed her to the Great Beyond, and she is survived by her mother, six sisters, an infant son only one week old, and a loving husband with whom she had gone out from the parental home to share life within the year just past, but the cold hand of death was laid upon her and she has lain down to rest. The body here with the loved of earth but the spirit gone to God who gave it, and in the spirit world according to God's own love and mercy will await the resurrec tion morn. Having been cheerful and kind while here we may feel that cheerfulness and kindness will await her there. And may the heart-stricken husband, though left for a time alone with his sorrow, and the dear mother and sisters, and all the dear friends who feel so keenly and sadly the loss of the dear one, by God's love be comforted and helped to feel that behind the clouds the sun still shines, and that stripes as well as stars leads after God and goodness. Peace to her ashes and. joy to her spirit. Oh, weep not for the loved one So rudely from thee driven, 'Twas but a flower too good for earth Transplanted into heaven. Walter McCully.
