MRS. SHROYER PASSES
 
Martha Emma Joslin was born Feb. 26th, 1868 in Wash., Co. Ark.  She died  Dec. 
6, 1923 aged 55 years, 9 months, 11 days.
 
In 1888 she was married to Uriah Shroyer who with their four children survive 
her.  They are J. E Shroyer, (Blanche) Mrs. Moss Wilkerson, Edna and Ethel.  
Besides her husband and children she leaves one sister, Mrs. Susie Brown of 
Payette, also three sisters and one brother in the east.
 
In 1902 the family came to Idaho and have lived here since that time.
 
A feeling of personal loss and sorrow permeated every home in Salubria valley 
when word was brought that Mrs. Shroyer had passed on.  While every one knew 
her condition had been critical still we had hoped she would yet live many 
years to bless her home and her community.  Besides making an ideal home for 
her own family she was ever ready to help anyone needing aid.  Many and varied 
were the demands upon her time and kindness for everyone felt free to go to 
her for assistance well knowing it would be so heartily given.
 
We, who have enjoyed the rare hospitality of her home and family can never 
forget her cheerful kindly manner that was but the reflection of her noble 
character.  "None knew her but to love her."
 
Was a surprise, or a "shower" being considered for someone in the 
neighborhood, then her home was considered the most suitable place for holding 
it.  During the winter of 1917-18 the women of the neighborhood met one whole 
day each week at her home where under her kindly capable supervision, sewing 
was completed for Red Cross work.  For years she has worked in our S. S. 
sometimes serving as superintendent or helping in any way she could.  The 
revival of our S. S. this fall was due largely to her efforts and that of her 
family.
 
At the age of 23 she became a member of the M. E. church.  From the M. E. 
church at Cambridge, funeral services were conducted Dec. 8, 1923 under the 
auspices of Mrs. U. M. Over.  The universal esteem and respect all felt her 
was shown by the large gathering of friends who were present.  She was laid to 
rest in the Salubria cemetery. 
"There is no Death; What seems so is transition; 
This life of mortal breath is but a suburb of the life elysian
Whose portal we call Death."
