Martin, Eva Beatrice

Our condolence is extended Mr. and Mrs. P. B. Martin of this city, on the loss of their little daughter, EVA BEATRICE, who departed this life at 10 o'clock last Saturday night. She was born April 6, 1881,and was a specially bright and interesting little girl. For a year past she has been afflicted, and for the past four months has suffered greatly, but bore up under it with fortitude exceeding her years. She had the kindest attention and best medical skill, but her disease baffled all skill. She was perfectly willing to die, her only regret that she would leave her father and mother to whom she was greatly devoted. Her remains were committed to the dust last Sunday afternoon, there to await the resurrection morn. Peace to her memory. [Interment in Odd Fellows Rest Cemetery]
