Obituary- Strimple, Martha 3

Died- At her home in Rossville, June 4, 1902, just three days after the death of her daughter, Daisy, Mrs. Martha Jane Strimple, age 54 yrs., 3 months, 24 days.

Martha Jane Baird was born in Lawrence Co., Ill., Feb. 10, 1848, married to H.P. Strimple Dec. 17, 1868, and moved to Rossville in the fall of 1870.

She was the mother of eleven children, six of whom preceded her to that heavenly rest. Her husband, five children and one brother remain to mourn her loss.

Mrs. Strimple was one of eight who formed the charter class of the M.E. church in Rossville in 1871. Her last words were "I want rest," in a few moments she passed quietly away to home home not made with hands.

Interrment took place at the City cemetery June 5.

Memorial services were held in the M.E. Church, Sunday July 6, by Rev. A.D. Rice. A great concourse of relatives and friends were present. Rev. Rice preached an able sermon and told the way in which those left could follow and finally unite with mother and sister, never to part again.
