QBITuARY.


Martha Dana Durkec was born in Ca
bot Vermont, March 23d, 1918, and died
after a long illness at Kenosha, Wis,
June 9th, 1901.
She was one Of the Oldest settlers of
this county and city. She was married
to Harvey Durkee Sept. Sd, 1888 and for
nearly fifty years was a devoted wife,
making happy home for her husband:
and also for six children who grew to
manhood and womanhcod under her
watchful care and instruction. Her hus-
bard and two daughters preceded her to
the better land. She sorrowed deeply
and quietly for them, but il was only a
little time until Gods call was heard and
she went to be with-them and her Savior,
who was her JOY during q long life Of de-
voted service to the church Of her choice
and to the cause Of humanity.
She was the last surviving member CT
the little class who formed the Methodist
Episcopal church Of Kenosha in 1889.
Truly has she been 3 Mother in IS
rael While she was always true to her
own church, she was also interested in
the success of ali the churches. At the
time Of her death she was the president Of
the w. G. t. z. Of this city.
The workers for temperance who have
enjoyed her zeal and counsel will feel for
many years the inspiration which came
to them from her positive convictions
her brave utterances and her unremittlng
devotion to the interests Of those who SUI
fered from the curse Of rum. The poor
and needy as well as the rich will miss
her familiar face and benevolent heart
Four children remain to lovingly and
happily remember the many rich quail
ties Of character which she possessed.
Henry r. and Edward H. are prosperous
business men Of Chicago; Charles resides
at Elk Rapids. Mich, and the youngest
daughter Carrie who enjoyed the exalted
privilege of caring for her loved and low
ing mother until she was at rest, remains
in the old home.
