____________________
Mrs. Martha, beloved wife of Joseph Pilling, died at her home in Willow Springs on Thursday, Jan. 6, 1898, of pneumonia, after a brief illness. The funeral was held at the residence on Saturday at 1:30 pm, Rev. J.W. Frizzell officiating, and all that was mortal of the dear old pioneer, was laid to rest in the Willow Springs cemetery, followed thither by a large concourse of people.
Deceased was born on South Mountain, Franklin County, Pennsylvania, in 1827, being the second daughter of John and Elizabeth Monahan. The family left Pennsylvania in 1839 and came to Ohio. They remained here a short time, then moved to Indiana, thence to Illinois, and from there came to Wisconsin and settled in Willow Springs in 1843. In 1853 deceased was united in marriage to Mr. Joseph Pilling and moved onto the farm, where she resided up to the day of her death.
Three children were born to them; one died in infancy. Mr. George Pilling of Willow Springs and Mrs. W.C. Estes of Sioux City, with her aged husband, survive her and were with her during her last illness.
In 1847 she united with the Free Will Baptist church and remained a member of that organization during the remainder of her life.
She was a woman of strong character and marked individuality. She always sought for the good qualities in her friends and neighbors and while drinking in the sunshine of humanity, she gave the world a halo of love and good will to everybody.
Dear old Aunt Martha! We will keep green in nature's store house the memory of her many virtues, her deeds of kindness, her acts of love and sterling integrity. The world is richer in love and humanity made better by her life, while Heaven itself will seem more holy to her friends because her pure soul now dwells with the Master who during life she loved so well and served so faithfully.
