Mrs. Martha Rush, who died at her home in Balhinch a short time ago, was a lady that deserved more than a passing notice. Her maiden name was Stump and she was about 65 years of age. She was a member of the Lutheran Church and held her membership at the old church near Jacksonville. She was a good mother, a kind neighbor and will be sadly missed by her many friends. Two sons, Robert and Gilbert, are left alone, as their father met his death at the railway crossing some years ago. Her body was laid to rest in the Davis Cemetery. -s
