Obituary from The Holton Signal, Holton, Kansas, Thursday, 24 September 1914, page 4, column 6:
MRS. MARTHA EARL
Mrs. Martha Earl was born in Moultrie county, Ill., January 1, 1874, and died September the 20th at the home of her brother, James Daugherty, 13 miles southwest of Holton, Kan., aged 40 years, 8 months and 20 days.
Mrs. Earl was an intense sufferer the last two months of her life, but with patience and fortitude she bore the ordeal. Just a little while before she died, her faith found expression in a song, and then turning to her dear ones she declared her readiness to go to the land from whence none ever return.
The funeral services were conducted from the beautiful rest house located in the Holton Cemetery and were in charge of Dr. John W. Waldron, pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal church of Holton, Kansas.
The music was given by the Dynamo quartette and was sang in a very touching manner. Several friends and relatives from out of town were in attendance at the funeral.
" 'Tis hard to break the tender cord
When love has bound the heart,
'Tis hard, so hard, to speak the words,
'We must forever part,'
Dearest loved one we must lay thee
In the peaceful grave's embrace
But thy memory will be cherished
Till we see thy heavenly face."
