Martha A. Bemis
      Mrs. Martha A. Bemis, one of the pioneer settlers of Adams County, passed away at the home of her son, O. Bemis, on Rattlesnake Flat last Tuesday, December 19th. The immediate cause of her death was hardening of the arteries. She had been poorly for some months and the past two months had been bedfast. The funeral was held from the Presbyterian church at Ralston last Thursday conducted by her pastor, Rev. D. R. Russell of Washtucna, and interment was made in the Bemis cemetery of the flat.
      Martha A. Watkins was born in Pike County, Illinois, Sept. 27, 1842. She grew up in that county and in 1862 was married to Albert F. Bemis. In 1889 the family removed to Adams County as this county was being developed by settlers into a rich wheat growing country. They located on Rattlesnake Flat, which continued to be the family home. Mr. Bemis passed away 17 years ago.
      Mrs. Bemis is survived by four children, three sons and one daughter, and three daughters and a son preceded her in death. The children who are living and mourn the loss of a worthy mother are O. Bemis, Ralston; R. S. Bemis, Ritzville; C. H. Bemis, Spokane, and Mrs. M. A. Chapman of Spokane. Mrs. Bemis was a member of the Congregational church in Illinois. When the United Presbyterian church was organized on the flat she became one of its first members. The church was later moved to Wasthucna and she continued her fellowship with it.
