The Holton Signal Jackson County August 24, 1922 Mattie Eva Martlens. Mattie Eva HAMM, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. R.P. Hamm, was born July 17, 1866 at the farm home about five miles west of Holton. Her entire childhood was spent in the Banner community and in December 1886 she was converted and united with the Banner M.E. church, later transferring her membership to the Holton church. She was united in marriage Feb. 24th, 1892 to John MARTLENS by the Rev. Wm. Friend. This union was marked with a singleness of devotion and the happiest considerations. After a prolonged illness in which there was exemplified the finest forebearance, a quiet patience and a submissive resignation, she passed away on Saturday afternoon, August 19, reaching the age of 56 years, one month and 2 days. In the passing out of Mrs. Martlens there has gone from us a devoted wife, a kind neighbor and a faithful member of the church. She leaves beside her sorrowing husband, her aged mother, three sisters, Mrs. Cora PEACE, Mrs. Ella BISHOP, Mrs. Barbara ABEL and two brothers, Rev. Grant Hamm and Robert Hamm besides a host of neighbors and friends.

The Independence Daily Reporter Montgomery County Friday January 6, 1911 One Of His Last Acts. Sheriff Love "Spilled" the Booze This Morning. Both Empties and "Fulls" Were Smashed, the Officer Showing No Mercy. Could the one time famous Carrie Nation have stood on the old stone steps on the south of the court house this morning between the hours of nine and ten o'clock, her eccentric notions of what ought to be done with booze and booze fighters would have been endorsed most heartily by the action of the sheriff and his deputies. There on the sidewalk stood Harvey Backus, with a corps of assistants, some of them from the county jail, others hired to assit in the awful slaughter, breaking bottle by bottle, barrel after barrel, of good old "redeye." Tom and Jerry, Old Port and Blue Ribbon were flowing in common, down the gutter of east Main street, as free and easy as had it been the purest of God given rain. Men were forced to look on in awe, heartsick at the idea of the awful waste and extravagance, helpless to stop the officials in their heartless work. About five barrels of beer, wine and whiskey were bursted, bottle by bottle, and fifteen or twenty barrels of empties. All were hauled away, barrels and cases all, after they had been broken. It was amusing to watch the expressions on some of the faces surrounding the scene. Some looked as though there would never be anything more in life for them. Others looked as though a man who had the heart to do the awful deed would as one person said, "pull up young corn."
