The following is evidently her obituary, though I cannot cite the source--TH:
"Martha Ellen Barrow, daughter of John J. and Mary Jane Stone, was born near Campbell Hill, Jackson County, Illinois, September 2, 1846. On Wed morning, Oct 18, 1933, at 5 o'clock, she, after a lingering illness of eight weeks, peacefully made the transition from earth to the beautiful home prepared for her by Him who said, "I go to prepare a place for you, and if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also", at the age of 87 years, 1 month and 16 days.
On November 7, 1861, at Campbell, Illinois, she was united in marriage to John D. Barrow. To this union 13 children were born, five of whom died in infancy. Two daughters and six sons lived to maturity. Her husband and three sons, James, Herman and Dee, preceded her out into eternity within the past 17 years.
In 1882, she with her husband and family, moved to Missouri, locating in Benton County, six miles southeast of Windsor, near what is now known as Brandon, where she lived until 1896, when they moved to a farm four miles east of Calhoun. On January 1, 1903, they moved to Calhoun where she lived until the time of her death. When she was 24 years of age she accepted Christ as her personal Saviour and united with a Baptist church in her native state of Illinois. When she came to Missouri, she and her husband united with the Harmony Baptist church in Benton County, Some years later, when the family moved to Calhoun she transferred her membership to the First Baptist church of that place. To her, the religion of Jesus Christ was real and vital. She loved her Savior and His church, and the congregation to which she belonged. She was not satisfied with just being a Christian herself; she wanted her children and loved ones and friends to know the blessed Savior. Many were the prayers that went to the throne of grace in behalf of her loved ones. After the Spanish-American War, when her soldier boy, Frank, was near death, she communicated with President McKinley, concerning the son's discharge, and the President, as Commander-in chief of the Army, granted her request and ordered the discharge. After sending this message to the President, she, from her secret chamber, talked to the great ruler of the universe. She knew and loved the Bible, and in her last illness quoted from its sacred pages. She was a faithful wife, a loving mother and a kind neighbor. About a year ago her son, Rev. Frank Barrow, and his wife moved in with his mother to be with her in her declining days. Truly, they were a benediction to her in her last months.
She leaves to mourn her departure two daughters, Mrs. T.J. Anderson, Green Ridge, and Mrs. J.W. Greason of Calhoun; three sons, Clarence A. Barrow and Rev. Frank C. Barrow, both of Calhoun, and Rev. P.S. Barrow of Horton, Kansas. 26 grandchildren, 17 great grandchildren and many other relatives and friends.
Funeral services were held at the Calhoun Baptist Church conducted by Rev. R.I. Clemings, and assisted by Rev. H.E. Carpenter. Interment was made in the Calhoun Cemetery.
On the tombstone of John and Martha, it reads 'One by one they have gone from the old cottage home on earth. We shall see them no more.'"
