THE OBITUARY OF Edna Martin

Edna, the three-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Martin, died Thursday June 18, [1914] at 12:30 p.m. She was born near Oakland, May 25, 1911. She was sick a few days, with stomach and bowel trouble. This was a very sad loss, both for the parents and the many friends of the family. Those who had once seen this little girl loved her. The writer will never forget this little darling, nor the impression she made upon the audience when, on Children's Day at Fairview, she stepped upon the platform and spoke her little piece, "Twinkle, twinkle, little star; how I wonder what you are." The father and mother, two brothers and one sister remain to mourn her loss, besides the grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. J.H. Turner and a host of relatives.
A short service was held at the home on Saturday morning, conducted by Rev. G.L. Springer, after which the body was taken to Fairview church, where funeral services were held by Rev. F.J. Young, assisted by Rev. G.I. Springer.
The pall bearers were the Misses Sybil Turner, Musette Cleaveland, Roma Turner and Beulah Turner. The flower bearers were Mrs. Perry and Mrs. Sivers of Carson. A large crowd was in attendance. Those from a distance were: Attorney Frank Turn of Avoca, Tom Martin of Rover, Mo., and Mrs. J. Turner of Harlan, great grandmother of the deceased. A quartet composed of Clyde Davis and Mrs. Felix Setz sang, accompanied by Mrs. F.J. Young, and the little body was laid to rest in Fairview cemetery.
