MARTHA JANE NICKLOW

  Miss Martha Jane Nicklow of Addison died of cancer of the face on Wednesday, 
Oct. 12.  She was born Nov. 25, 1869, hence was aged 62 years, 11 months and 19 
days.
  She was employed as a cook at Hotel Dodds, Confluence, for about 35 years.  
She joined the Lutheran church on March 22, 1885, and was a faithful member the 
remainder of her life.  She took to her bed the last week of March, 1932, and 
was confined to it until death relieved her suffering.  She was conscious to the 
last and was very patient through all her suffering.
  She is mourned by two sisters, Mrs. Dianna Mitchell and Mrs. Milton Craig, 
both of Addison, and one brother, Elijah Nicklow, of Ruffsdale, Pa.
  Funeral services were held at the home of her sister, Mrs. Milton Craig, on 
Friday afternoon, Oct. 14, conducted by Rev. C. G. Russell, late pastor of the 
Methodist Episcopal Church South at Jockey Valley and Listonburg, as Rev. George 
O. Ritter, her pastor, was attending Conference at Philadelphia.  Her body was 
laid to rest in Mrs. Craig's lot in the Addison Cemetery.  The funeral director 
in charge was Harry B. Rishebarger of Addison.
