The Sweetwater Telephone
Mrs. Martha Hicks, widow of the late G.W. Hicks, of Madisonville, died at the family residence in Sweetwater, Sunday afternoon at one o'clock. The announcement of the death of this good woman was received by the many friends of the family with sincere sorrow. Deceased was born in Madisonville (then Tellico) July 31, 1827, and lived there until nine years ago, when the family removed to Sweetwater. Her maiden name was Whitson. She accepted Christ as her Saviour when quite young and became a member of the Baptist church of Madisonville, where her membership remained until the time of her death. She was a most estimable Christian woman, and a useful worker for many years in her church. She always used her influence for the elevation and betterment of humanity everywhere. All who knew her were her friends, made such by her sweet, Christian manner, purity of life and character. Late Sunday afternoon, realizing that the end was near, she summoned each of her children and grandchildren, to her bedside, and spoke words of comfort and cheer to each one, assuring them that all was well with her, and that she was waiting for the call of the Master, to come up higher. The events of that day will remain with each member of the family as a sacred legacy.
The surviving members of the family are Messrs. J.C., G.F., and J.W. Hicks; Misses Alice and Addie Hicks, of Sweetwater, and Robert M. Hicks of Savannah, Ga.
