SEMI-WEEKLY INTERIOR JOURNAL, TUESDAY, APRIL 29, 1902
In Memoriam
Mrs. Martha Lucas, of Middleburg, died at the home of her son-in-law, M.W. Jones, at 15 minutes to 1 o'clock Wednesday morning, April 16, 1902. She had been sick since the 1st of February with a complication of diseases, but the main cause of her death was bronchial pneumonia. She was past 73 years old and a widow for about 25 years, her husband F.J. Lucas, having died in 1876. Her maiden name was Estes, daughter of John Estes, deceased, and last but one of a large family of children. She had three children - one daughter, Mrs. M.W. Jones, and two sons, W.E. and F.B. Lucas, all living and present when she died and who, with others, did everything that devoted children and kind friends could do, to alleviate her sufferings and to stay the hand of the grim monster, but of no avail. She almost idolized her children and was never so happy as when in their company and when they succeeded and never so sad as when they met adverses. She leaves behind, besides her 3 children, 13 grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. She expressed, on different occasions, a perfect willingness to go if it was the Lord's will and even said she was tired of this life and had rather not get well. She had been a member of the Baptist church since she was a girl and was unwavering in the belief she espoused. She was laid to rest beside her husband in Middleburg Cemetery after appropriate services were conducted by Rev. J.B. Ferrell, of the Baptist church, assisted by Rev. Logan Godbey, of the M.E. church, services being held at the grave. While the trial is a severe one, we submissively bow and bid farewell to ma, grandma and great-grandma till we meet again in the sweet bye and bye.
In this connection the children desire to express the profoundest thanks to kind friends and neighbors for their kindness in giving aid, in rendering services in various ways during our mother's illness and hope they will not lose their reward. M.W. Jones
