There was general feeling Of sad
ness when in was announced Sunday af
ternoon the 9th inst, that Mrs. Updcgraff
was dead. The news though sad was not
unexpected, for the good Lady had been
sufferer for ten long weeks and for days
her life had been dSspaired of. But like all
we love and cherish it was hard to believe
that one so pure and good, one so general
ly loved by every one IN the community,
one who. was the mother to the motherless
and friend to every one, would not be
spared to still further years of usefulness.
1t had to be, however, and when the bright
sun was slowly sinking in the western sky
the spirit went to the god who gave it, and
the gray haired old man whose comfort
had been in the pure and devoted wife, the
children who loved her as only they could
love a mother and the friends around
whom she had SO often been a ministeing
angel only looked at the empty casket
that had contained the soul of a devoted
wife loving mother and faithful friend.
Mrs. Martha Updegraff was SO years old
atthe time Of her death. Her maiden name
was Mccormick, and she was born in Indi-
ana. She was first married to Mr.. McWil-
liam and by that marriage had two children
Mrs. Collins of Hutchinson and Mrs. Wild
ner of this place. Sh e was married to
Judge Updegraff in Iowa 80 years ago and
80 years of that time she had been living
with him i'm Kansas. By this marriage she
had three children, who are still living,
they being Alfred, Mary and Minnie who
have been raised principally in this county
the Judge being the earliest settler here.
The immediate cause of death was ure-
mic poisoning caused by disease of the
kidneys. She was first taken with ulcer
of the stomache and absccss Of the lower
lobe of the left lung and suffered extremely
for more than eight weeks.
She was buried Thursday, the funeral
procession being the largest ever seen in the
county. All Of the old residents were
present and in fact nearly all of our citizens
were present to show a last mark Of re-
spect to the memory Of a worthy woman,

ported in the state every day, and this eom-
