The funeral services for Mrs. Martha Collman were held on Friday of last week at the Congregational Church of this city. The large audience room was well filled with many friends whom Mrs. Collman had made during her long residence in this vicinity. She was the wife of A. F. Collman, the well known horticulturist of Adams County. She had gone to the hospital of Omaha the week previous fro an operation. While the operation was severe, it was one from which she might readily have recovered if her general health had been good. The complication of difficulties was too great for her strength and after a week of suffering she passed away leaving with her husband as her dying request that her children should meet her in heaven. The funeral services were attended by a sister, Mrs. Dr. Napp of Aurora, Nebraska and a brother, Mr. C. W. Beecher, of Lincoln, Nebraska. The services were conducted Friday morning at the Congregational Church by Rev. P. H. Mason, interment being made in the Walnut Grove Cemetery.
Mr. Collman was the daughter of Philo Beecher and Mary Only Beecher. She belonged to another branch of the same Beecher family of which Dr. Lyman Beecher and his famous children were members. She was born in Putnam, New York, December 20, 1844. In 1850, at the age of about six years, she removed with her parents to Bristol, now Yorkville, Kendall County, Illinois. There she was a schoolmate to Mr. Collman to whom she married March 1, 1863, at the age of eighteen. They both united with the Congregational Church at Yorkville. In 1872 they removed to Corning, Iowa and located on a farm about 4 miles east of the city, where they have since resided. They soon connected themselves with the Congregational Church in this city of which Mrs. Collman is now an honored deconstructions. They have always been regal in their attendance upon the Sunday morning church services.
Five children were born to them, Charles, Lois, Leavitt, Etta, and Ralph. The first four are married and all live near the old homestead, except Mrs. Etta Anderson, whose home is in Minneapolis. Three of the children are also at the present time members of the Corning Congregational Church.
In the death of Mrs. Collman, not only the family by whom she was so much beloved, but also the church of which she was a faithful member, and the community in which she exercised a strong Christian influence have sustained a very great one.
