BROWN, MARTHA
Pleasanton
Mrs. Martha Brown, died at her residence in this city Sunday morning August 22nd 1897 at 7 o'clock of blood poisoning. About two weeks ago she was in good health and was returning home from a neighbor's when she accidently stepped on a large nail. The wound did not bleed, but began to swell and cause severe pain. She suffered greatly until death relieved her of all her pain.
Her many friends were greatly shocked to hear of her demise. On Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock the funeral services were held in the A. M. E. church conducted by Rev. James McBee and Rev. J. R. Bass. The remains were enclosed in a beautiful black casket on which was a pillow of roses. The church was handsomely decorated with lovely flowers and cedars. Mrs. Brown was a good christian woman and was always to be found at her place in the church. The world needed her, but her death was sanctioned by One who gave her life and we are contrained to say, "They will be done," knowing that she is safe in that home not made by hands.
Mrs. Martha Walker Brown was born Nov. 1st 1846 in Henry Co., Mo. On April 5th 1867 she was married to Mr. Monroe Brown. In October 1866 she professed faith in Christ and joined the A. M. E. church. She died at the age of 50 years 9 months and 21 days. She leaves a husband and four children and a host of friends to mourn her death.
We extend our heartfelt sympathy to her family in their sad bereavement.
Dearest mother, thou has left us,
And thy loss we deeply feel;
But 'tis God that has bereft us,
He can all our sorrows hear.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life is fled;
When in Heaven with joy to greet thee,
Where no farewell tears are shed.
