Martha Louise Wisdom
Martha Louise Wisdom, daughter of F. [ranklin] D. [ale] and Chloe Wisdom, was born at Bedford, Iowa, January 1, 1921 and passed away to the care of Him who said, “Suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not for such is the kingdom of Heaven,” at San Diego, Calif., Sunday, July 17, 1927. She was early in her life received into the M. E. church at Bedford, Iowa, by immersion. Death occurred while the family was on an automobile trip to California. She became ill near Phoenix, Arizona, probably caused by excessive heat and unhygienic water. She was rushed by an all night drive to Yuma, Arizona, the nearest adequate hospital point. Her condition becoming rapidly more serious she was again rushed by automobile in the care of a physician and nurse to Mercy Hospital at San Diego, California, where it was thought by authorities after a time that her recovery was certain, but while in the full possession of her mental faculties a few minutes before she expired she said, “Daddy take me up in your arms or I will die. I see hands reaching for me.” Judging by her gentle and perfect little life it is not improbable that while of still of life a part yet she stood so near that mystic land that she actually saw the hands of angels extended waiting to receive the soul wavering between two worlds. The members of her immediate family left desolate besides her father and mother are her brothers Franklin D. Jr. and William Russell. The family moved to this city nearly two years ago, since which time Martha Louise has been attending the Lincoln school. She won the love of everybody who met her by her modest, quiet and innocent ways. The funeral services were held at the home of Frank Wisdom at Bedford, Ia., at 11 o’clock Friday and the remains were interred in the Fairview cemetery at that city. The services were conducted by Rev. Charles W. Graham of Creston and Rev. G. T. Roberts of Bedford, both of the M. E. church. A number of friends from Creston, Blockton and Lenox attended the services. ---Creston Daily Advertiser
