THE MAXWELL TRIBUNE, Maxwell, Iowa, Thursday, January 19, 1905, page 1, 
column 5.   "Obituary - Martha Ann Marsh was born in Hardin County, Ohio, 
May 13, 1832 and lived there with her parents, Daniel & Ann (Bazel) Marsh 
until December 5, 1850, when she was united in marriage to Henry Neale Hill. 
They moved to Iowa in 1856, arriving by covered wagon at Peoria City on July 
4th of that year. Four children were born in Ohio and accompanied their 
parents to Iowa. Afterward they moved to Jasper County and settled on a 
farm. Eleven children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Hill, four of whom survive.  
They are Mrs. James (Cinderella) Chalmers, of Elwell; Mrs. Devillo (Mary 
Jeanette) Bacon, of Maxwell; Mrs. George (Rosa) Baird, of Peoria City, and 
John Charles Henry (Alice Longnecker) Hill, of Earl, Mo. 
     Henry Hill died March 31, 1875, leaving Mrs. Hill a widow with several 
small children. On August 17, 1875, Mrs. Hill married John George Kopf, who 
had five motherless children, and she cared for them just as tenderly as her 
own, making no distinction between them. Mr. and Mrs. Kopf lived on the farm 
in Washington township, Polk County until the fall of 1896 when they moved 
to Maxwell, which place has been their home ever since. 
   Mrs. Kopf during last twenty years of her life has been a member of the 
Methodist Protestant church. She has always lived a Christian life. Although 
she was an invalid for many years, she was always trying to do something 
that would be a benefit to others. She died January 14, 1905, age seventy-
two years, eight months and one day. 
   The funeral was held Monday at 1:00 p.m. in the M. E. church of this 
city, being in charge of Rev. A. Q. Gharrett, assisted by Rev. J. D. Sparks. 
Interment was made in Peoria City cemetery.


Additional Comments:
  Martha Hill Kopf was bur. in the Peoria Cem. by the side of her first 
husband, Henry N. Hill.
