  	Mrs. Martha Anderson died this morning at 3:10 after an illness which confined her to the house for five years, and kept her bedfast since last August. Her death occurred at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Bert Signor, 914 North Ninth Street, with whom she has made her home for eighteen years and whose devotion was a comfort to her declining years. Mrs. Anderson celebrated her 85th birthday last January. She was a widow for fifty-two years. Her husband died en route to Kansas from their home in Indiana. His death and burial occurred at Winterset, Iowa, and her remains will be placed beside him there. Five years ago Mrs. Anderson was stricken with paralysis. She grew gradually worse and her death was due to the complications, which have arisen since she was first stricken. She is survived by four grown children: H. R. Anderson, Mrs. Bert Signor, A. B. Anderson, all of Atchison, and Mrs. N. E. Bennett of Abilene. At 4 o'clock this afternoon brief funeral services were held at the Signor home, after which the remains were carried to the train, and Mrs. Signor and her brothers H. R. and A. B. Anderson, accompanied them to Winterset, where the funeral and interment will occur tomorrow. Atchison Daily Globe, February 18, 1912
