Martha Jane FOSTER was born Nov. 7, 1830, and died Jan. 6, 1901, aged 70 years, 1 month, and 20 days. The deceasd was born in Ross Co., but in her infancy her parents removed to Oak Run township, Madison Co., where she has since resided. She united with the Methodist church at Bethel Nov. 7, 1858 and since that time has been a devoted christian. On the 28th of Feb., 1860, she was united in marriage to James CLARK. To this union was born five children- one son and four daughters, only three of whom survive, Mary dying in infancy; Miranda, living in Alabama; Ada, also deceased; Kimbal, living near the old homestead,and Della at home. She also leaves a husband, brothers and sisters and a large circle of friends to mourn her loss. Having been an invalid for several years she was deprived of the pleasure of attending church, but had for her companion the Bible. Although suffering pain unendurable to many there was not a word of complaint from the sufferer, who was ready and willing to abide by the master's will. They are gathering home from every land, One by one; one by one! Their weary feet touch the shining strand; One by one; one by one! Their brows are adorned with a golden crown, Their earth-worn garments are all laid down, And clothed in white raiment they rest on the mead Where the Shepherd loveth his chosen to lead One by one; one by one! We, too shall come to the river side, One by one; one by one! We are nearing its water ea(?)n even tide, One by one; one by one! We can hear the roar and the dash of the stream, We can see the portal through life's deep dream, We can hear the music from that heavenly strand, We see the robed singers as in glory they stand, O, vision of beauty! O, burst of delight! Dear mother, sweet mother, now robed in pure white, With joy-beaming face and palm-bearing hand, She beckons us on to the glorified land. We are coming, we are coming, no longer we roam, We are pressing our footsteps toward mother and Home. One by one; one by one! Card Of Thanks We desire through the columns of your paper to return our heartfelt thanks to the neighbors and friends who showed us such kindly attention during the illness and at the time of death of our beloved wife and mother. Jas. CLARK and Family. Happy Hunting! Nancy
