Matron and Mother Mourned by Many
Mrs. Davis Martindale called to her Reward--Christian Bible Class to Attend Funeral
An exceptionally lovely character, an ideal wife and mother, an earnest Christian woman, all these are an epitome of the life of Mrs. Davis Martindale, who passed away at 2:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon at the family residence east of Troy. At 7 o'clock Tuesday morning Mrs. Martindale had suffered a second stroke of paralysis, the first being a year ago this month. When she arose she was in her usual health, had prepared breakfast and was engaged in the household work. The daughter, Miss Blanche, had gone to the barn on an errand and upon her return discovered her mother in an unconscious condition and though medical assistance was summoned Mrs. Martindale failed to rally and passed away at 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon. She was born in Miami County on October 16, 1865, and her marriage took plce twenty-nine years ago in February. Surviving are the husband, Davis Martindale, who is a member of the fair board, two daughters, Mrs. William Prakle and Miss Blanche, and a son, Vernon Martindale. Her venerable mother, Mrs. Eidenmiller, resides in Ginghamsburg. There are living a sister, two half sisters, five brothers and a half brother. She was very active in class No. 2 of the First Christian Sunday School and rarely missed a meeting. The members of the class are requested to meet at the church at 1:30 o'clock Friday afternoon to attend in a body the funeral services, which will be held at 2 o'clock at the First Christian Church. Rev. J. E. Etter will be in charge and interment will be made in Riverside Cemetery.
