Pletcher.-At Gilead, Neb., on Nov. 6th 1895, of membranous croup, Martha, daughter of Thomas and Susannah Pletcher, aged 6 y., and 3 m. Little Martha had a very bad cold and was very hoarse, but did not seem sick until the evening of the 5th she began with the croup. The next evening she passed away without a struggle. Martha knew that she had to die, about noon she requested her father to go over to the school house and have the teacher and pupils come over, and as soon as they came in she bid them all good bye. At first she said she did not like to, but when she was told that Jesus would be in heaven, then she said she wanted to die, and looked at her mother and said, "I want you to come too, mother." "Yes, dear," was the reply, then she said no more but seemed perfectly satisfied. Funeral services by Pre. H. Crouch. Buried on the 8th in the Gilead cemetery. Text, Rev. 14:13.
Farewell, parents, God has called me,
Weep not for me when I am gone,
But prepare to meet me yonder
When the Christian course is run.
Farewell my dear little brothers and sisters,
I have gone with Christ to dwell,
Where no pain or sickness enters
And where all is joy and love.
