Lake Odessa Wave - Times - June 14, 1918
              MRS. MARTHA MINER -- USEFUL LIFE ENDS



             PIONEER RESIDENT AND BUSINESS WOMAN--

                MEMBER OF SEVERAL ORGANIZATIONS ---

                      MANY MONTHS IN POOR HEALTH.

                                            ----------

   Mrs. Martha Miner, mother of our prominent business man, Otis Miner, after an
illness of several weeks, 
following several years of poor health, passed to her heavenly home Tuesday evening
at 6 o'clock.

   Mrs. Miner and her husband were among Lake Odessa's pioneers, owning and
overseeing the Miner Hotel, 
now the Hotel Burke.

   After selling the hotel they went into the mercantile business, the son Otis,
coming a partner and proprietor 
at the death of the father.

   Mrs. Miner was long a member of the Congregational church where for years her
services were of great 
value especially with the serving in the Ladies Helping Band of that church.  She
was indeed a Martha of great 
value.

   She was a loyal member of the O E. S. chapter, having filled many of its offices;
also a faithful member of 
the Woman's Relief Corps.

   She had lived an active life and will be greatly missed by her many friends.

   The funeral was held at the Congregational church Thursday, the sermon by her
pastor, Rev. E. L. Prentice 
and she was laid to rest in Lakeside cemetery.

          RESOLUTIONS OF CONDOLENCE

   Whereas: In his Infinite Wisdom, our Father has seen fit to remove from our
Chapter, our beloved sister, 
Martha Miner,therefore, be it.

   Resolved, that her untiring zeal in the work of the Order Eastern Star and her
faithfulness to its precepts 
shall be an inspiration and a sweet memory to those who are left behind and that she
shall be greatly missed 
and truly mourned, and be it further.

   Resolved that our sympathy be extended to the bereaved family and that a copy of
these resolutions be 
spread upon the records of our Order, a copy published in the Wave-Times and a copy
presented to the 
bereaved family.
