| 10352 |  | Obituary- Titus, Martha A Good Woman Called by Death The death of Mrs. Martha Titus occurred at her home in Hampshire, Saturday, July 3, at 11 o'clock a.m. She had been in poor health for about one year. Her last illness was of about eight weeks' duration, the final cause of her demise being kidney and heart trouble. Martha Reid was born in Kingston, Canada, April 18, 1856, and came with her parents, Alexander and Kathryn Reid, to Illinois in 1868, settling in Genoa township. She was united in marriage with George Wilson Titus October 18, 1877. They resided for a time in Genoa township and afterwards in Iowa. Returning to Illinois, Mr. Titus died about thirty-two years ago. Three children were born to them, Ernest, who died in 190, Alice, who died in infancy, and Jane, who has always resided with her mother. Shortly after her husband's death Mrs. Titus came to Hampshire, where she resided until her death. When about twenty years of age she was converted in a meeting conducted in the Ney church by Mrs. Jennie F. Caldwell and joined the Methodist Episcopal church, of which church she continued to be a member until her death. For a number of years she filled the difficult position of steward in the church and was also a teacher in the Sunday school. Her whole life was an example of devotion and faithfulness to every duty. She was ever ready to do her duty or fill her place. She was seldom absent from the services of the church except on account of sickness. Kind and retiring in her manner, true and upright in her life, she bore the confidence and esteem of all who knew her. Few would be more missed out of the society in which she moved and especially out of the church which was the center of her activities. Besides her daughter she leaves four brothers and four sisters. They are John of Kansas, Mrs. Alice Dettmer and Mrs. May Rich of South Dakota, William, Mrs. Maggie Burroughs and Mrs. Emma Corson of Genoa and James F. and Alexander of Hampshire. Hers was the first death among these brothers and sisters. Funeral services were held Tuesday from the late home at 1 o'clock p.m. and thereafter at the M.E. church, Rev. W.H. Locke officiating. Burial was at Marengo. The casket bearers were: W.E. Doty, G.H. Bean, J.J. Weaver, F. Channing, H.H. Kirchoff and H.E. McDonough. The following were among those from out of town who were here to attend the funeral; Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Hall, Mr. and Mrs. W.H. Norton, Mrs. S.M. Adams, John Hobro, David and Charles Reid, Mr. and Mrs. H. Corson of Elgin, Mrs. Flaherty, Dundee, Miss Lucy Pease, Geneva, Mrs. Spencer Wernham, Marengo, Wm.
