    Notes 
    • Find-A-Grave:

      "Martha Lenora McGuire, daughter of Levi and Nancy McGuire, was born May 5, 1883, near Onaga, Kansas. She was one of eleven children. She departed this life November 12, 1960 at the Shattuck hospital at the age of 77 years, 6 months, 7 days. She grew to young womanhood and was married to Henry A. Jontra, February 14, 1906, at Westmoreland, Kansas. The young couple established a home and lived in Kansas for five years. Then they moved to a farm near Gage where they resided eleven years before moving to Gage to establish a home.

      Quite early in life she gave her life to Christ and became a member of the Christian church. In 1956 they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. The large number of friends and relatives that gathered to wish they well attested to the fact that Mattie, as she was lovingly called, and Henry were always friends indeed to others in sickness or sorrow or times of need.

      She was preceded in death by her four sons, her father and mother, four sisters and two brothers. She was a devoted wife and her last concerns were for her husband who survives her. She also leaves to mourn her passing her twin brother, Marion McGuire of Buhl, Idaho; Bert McGuire of Granite, Okla.; Roy McGuire of Holton, Ks.; one sister, Mrs. Ida Mumaw of Onaga, Kans.; a large number of nieces and nephews, other relatives and a multitude of friends."
