Hard was born to William 11. and Mary A. Hard on a farm near Ohio City, on June 28th, 1867. When just u little girl they moved to Willshire. Ohio where she lived until 1880. On December 25, 1880 she was unit- ! cd to William H. Martin, a carpenter, jand they moved to Wren, Ohio. AL i ter several years they moved to DeIcatur. Indiana, for a time, but returned to Ohio City, Ohio. After several years Mr. Martin’s health failed and they went to Vinot, North Dakota, where the climate was more suited to his health. While in North Dakota Aunt Mattie's health began to fail and they came to Pleasant Mills in 1913 and have remained here ever since. Mr. Martin passed away on August 23, 1923. She is survived by one brother, Mr. Dayton Hard of Van Wert, Ohio. Three nelces, Mrs. Orah Bteelej of ; Pleasant Mills. Ind., Mrs. Ethel Com- ; er,'of Chicago, and Miss Mary Hard 1 of Van Wert, Ohio; also two nephews, Ronald Hard of New Orleans, La.. ' ■and Wilber D. Hatd of Dewey, South Dakota. Her only child, Dennis Olin, I died when four months old. There i is also a great host of friends and relatives that mourn their loss. Aunt Mattie, as she was commonly I i called, has been a sufferer practically ; all of her life, but she has had a ! I wonderful spirit through it all. She ; | was converted when thirteen years i of age at Willshire, Ohio, and joined ' I the Methodist Episcopal church there. ■ j While living in Wren. Mr. Martin was I converted and they both united with i the Cnited Brethren church. When ; ! they went to North Dakota they both : I joined the Methodist church and ; j when they returned to Pleasant Mills ■ they brought their letters to Rev. E. j I. Mnupin, who received them into j the fellowship of this church. Aunt Mattie has been a quiet, earnest and consistent Christian and Methodist. Her greatest delight was to serve the , Master and her church. For the past . few years she came to church as ofj 'en as possible and always under the i handicap of suffering. For the past six weeks she had been confined to her bed at the Memrrial hospital in Decatur. Oh what a •latient sufferer she was. What a Treat faith and how ready to go home, ’h the early hours of the morning of fanuary 2, her Master said it is mougli and relieved her of her great afflictions and crowned her with the ■rown of life. 1 am sure He said ; into her, "Thou hast been faithful I aver a few things, I will make thee uler over many things, enter thou nto tile joy of thy Lord.” Servant of God, well done! Thy glorious warfare's past, "he battle’s fought, the race is won, And thou art crowned at last. So when life's sweet journey ends, ; Soul and body part like friends — f No quarrels, no murtunrs, no delay; I A kiss, a sigh, and so away. 0 — GENEVA NEWS Emmett Tully returned to Indianapolis, last Friday.
