The Sanford Herald 27 Sept 1918
Upsala and Grapeville
Once again we are caused to mourn the departure of a dearly loved member of our community, when just a short week from the death of her neighbor, whom she had helped to care for, Mrs. Martha Bertleson also passed away on to her reward Sept. 19th. It was a terrible shock to all of us as she, ill but a day and a half at the home of her son, Andrew and wife in Sanford. She leaves to mourn her loss four daughters: Mrs. Christine Borell, Mrs. Annie Magnuson, Mrs. Charlotte Karr and Mrs. Jennie Erickson and one son Andrew Bertleson, besides nine grandchildren.
Rev. Massey of the Baptist Church of which she has long been a consistent member, delivered a thoughtful address, taking for his subject the cry of ancient Simeon "Now, Lord, letteth thy servant depart in Peace," and tho a mother in Israel has departed, we must believe he has called her to rest.
It was her delight to be employed in useful work and to lend a hand to those in need and with her cheery smile and willing hand lightened many a burdened one. She would often testify of her love for Jesus and she showed it in her life. Surely at the Great Day she will hear the Master's "Well done, good and faithful servant,"
The interment was by the side of her husband, who preceded her many years ago, in the Upsala cemetery. We sympathize with those who are left.
