Good morning to everyone, as summer approaches it was time for spring cleaning. As a family member went through a storage shed a newspaper article was found, unfortunately the name of the paper and also date was cut off. It should be around 1902 in the Anna, IL newspaper. Mortuary. Died, at her residence in Anna, Illinois , Friday, November 14, 1902, Mrs. Martha F. Inman, wife of M. M. Inman, aged 68 years, 6 months and 21 days. The funeral services were held at the M. E. Church at 2:30 p.m., Sunday, November 16, and were conducted by the pastor, Rev. L. Smith. The remains were interred in the Anna Cemetery. Mrs. Inman had been a sufferer for years, but bore it patiently. She was a good Christian woman. She joined the Baptist church in 1850, but later joined the Methodist Episcopal church, of which she remained a consistent member until her death. Martha Francis McCurdy was born April 23, 1834, in Newton county, GA. She was married to Murphy M. Inman near Dalton, Georgia, July 9, 1850. She removed, with husband and three children, to Anna, June 30, 1856, where she resided until the day of her death. She was the mother of twelve children, six sons and six daughters.

Along with the newspaper article, a photograph of Murphy M. Inman taken in June 8 1883 plus tons of other photos, but, no names or dates were put on the pictures.
