Decatur County Journal Iowa November l, l894 DIED--At her home in Eden Township, Decatur County, Ia., Wednesday, October l7, l894, MRS. MARTHA GAMMON. MARTHA ROBINSON was born in Washington County, Ind., February l9, l894. Was united in marriage to GEORGE W. GAMMON, March 20, l839.  Moved to Iowa in l849.  Their union was blessed by eleven children, all of whom are living except one son, who died in his thirteenth year.  Nine of the children were with her during her last illness and five of them were at her bedside when the death angel summoned her home. She joined the Christian Church when quite young and was a devoted and consistent member of the church up to the day of her death. She was esteemed and loved by all who knew her; a remarkable example of patience and kindness.  The entire community has sustained an irreparable loss.  Her children will miss that gentle voice which soothes as only a mother's voice can.  And her husband will cherish her memory for cheerfully sharing with him the burdens that necessarily come to all along the dusty road of life. A large concourse of neighbors and friends attended a short and impressive funeral service at the home and followed the remains to the Dye Cemetery where she was tenderly laid to rest to await the resurrection morn. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert Note: She is buried in Meek Cemetery; however, it may have been called Dye at some time prior to being called Meek.
