Martha Mitchell was born March 17, 1812 in Monaghan county, Ireland. She was married in 1829 to John Andrews and to this union were born ten children seven of whom survive--five sons and two daughters. She came with her husband to America in May, 1854, locating in Allegheny City, Pa., and came to Illinois, settling in Clyde township, the same year. Here they lived until 1880 when they moved to this city, where she continued to make her home until 1890 when her husband was seriously injured by being struck by an engine on the Carlton crossing, which resulted in his death. Since then she has resided with her children in Iowa and Illinois.
The remains were brought to this city last Monday morning and interred in Grove Hill cemetery beside her husband. Funeral services were held at Onarga on Sunday.
