      ___________________________

      Martin. - Nancy (Lichty) Martin was born near Contestoga, Ont., Oct. 24, 1848; died Apr. 22, 1914; aged 65 y. 5 m. 29 d. She was married to Henry M. Martin in 1867. Their union was blessed with 3 children, 2 having died in infancy. She leaves to mourn a sorrowing husband, 1 daughter, Mrs. Ephraim Betzner, 1 grandson (1 granddaughter died in 1911), and 1 sister, Mrs. Heckendorn. She had a paralytic stroke 6 years ago and never fully recovered from its effect. The last 10 months she suffered with gangrene. Her suffering at times was very severe, yet she would frequently say that she was willing to suffer till God sees fit to call her home. She passed away peacefully, leaving a bright hope of a glorious immortality. Burial on the 24th at Snyder's Cemetery. Services by Enoch Bauman and Abraham Gingerich.
      "Death has visited our circle,
      Robbed us of our mother dear;
      In the midst of our affliction,
      Can we help but shed a tear?"
