Martha Ellen Cummins, a daughter of Christian Albert and Sarah Catherine (Fouty) Hampsten, was born near Yale, Illinois, on March 1, 1890, and departed this life at her home near Yale on March 13, 1944, aged 54 years and 12 days.
She was united in marriage to Elmer Cummins on August 4, 1907. To this union seven children were born, six of whom, with their father, are left to mourn their loss, namely: Ralph Cummons of Hammond, Indiana, Orval Cummins of near Newton, Cora (George) Birch of Robinson, Vera (Virgil) Cummins of near Newton, Fay, who died in infancy, and Wandalee and Charles at home.
She also leaves her aged mother, five brothers, and two sisters, Ervin A. Hampsten of Kinmundy, Albert Hampsten of Iuka, Gilbert Hampsten of Hammond, Indiana, Alex Hampsten of Oblong, Charles Hampsten of Chicago, Anna Carroll of Kinmundy, and Rosa Heistand of Granite City, and fourteen grandchildren.
She confessed her faith in Christ and united with the Yale Church of Christ several years ago.
She was of a cheerful disposition, and even in her great affliction and suffering, she always had a smile and a cheery word for her friends. During her long illness she often told her friends that she was ready and willing to go, that there was nothing between her and her Lord, and death held no fear for her. Our loss is her eternal gain.
Funeral services were held Thursday morning at the Cummins U.B. Church, conducted by the Rev. J. E. Spencer of Hidalgo.
