Martha was a 2nd Mother to me and my sister in the 1950's. She was our family's next door neighbor on Cherry Street in Nevada Mo. Martha was a retired Cottey College Music Teacher and she worked at Spencer and Hatch Optometrists. Martha had no children of her own so we spent lots of hours, days and weekends with her and her then husband Mac Braswell who lived in Kansas City Mo. When Martha and Mac divorced in the late 1950's she married Emile George Lemoine, a widower who lived in the neighborhood. EG as he was called by family and friends had 2 grand daughter's, Robin and Jan the same age as me and my sister. Our family moved from Cherry Street to Main Street which seemed so far away from Martha and EG. Mack lived and worked in Kansas City Mo. we only saw him once after he and Martha divorced. He brought the our whole family Christmas gifts the last time we saw him. My Dad thought since Martha and Mac were divorced it was best that Mac did not visit us. This made me so unhappy, my sister and I loved Mac. For a while Martha would come and get us to spent the weekend at EG's house. Then she quit calling and coming to get us. As young as I was I lost touch with Martha and went on with my life. I never saw Martha again and never knew she had passed away on July 30th 1983. Services were Tuesday August 2nd at Deepwood Cemetry Nevada Mo. Martha was 78 years old. From the very small obituary in the Nevada Daily Mail I feel she had no one but EG left. Martha I miss you and wish I could have grown up with you and kept in touch. Kaye Brittingham
