Mrs. Martha GUNNELS died at her home March 14th, 1900, after a few days' illness
of pneumonia and heart trouble, aged fifty-one years, eleven months and fourteen
days. She leaves a husband, five daughters and three sons to mourn her loss, all
of them being present at her death except one daughter who could not be here.
Nothing but praise could be said of her. Her cheerful words and loving
countenance brought words of praise  from everyone. She was a loving and helpful
companion and a kind and gently mother and a good and obliging neighbor. She
being the first to break the family circle. She was a member of the church of
the living God and pillar and ground of truth in her sickness was love joy in
the holy ghost.
Her last words were that she extended her love all; the gentle, kind and sweet
influence of mother, as she was familiarly called, will live forever in the
hearts of those who knew her best and remain as a token to draw them to Him who
knoweth all our sorrow. 
The funeral was preached by Rev. Depew and the remains were laid to rest in the
East Mount Zion cemetery, the large congregation attesting their high esteem for
her and love and sympathy for her loved ones.
