Mrs. Martha McCormick Waddell, wife of the late Joseph Waddell, died at her home
in Mason City, W. Va., April 24, 1889, in the 85th year of her age. She was the
only daughter of James and Irene Rodgers McCormick, who came from Rockbridge
Co., Va. to Gallia Co., Ohio, in the year 1804. Her mother dying when she was
about three years old, her father was left with the care of two children,
herself, and the late John R. McCormick, of Gallia Co., Ohio, then an infant
eleven months old. Her father marrying again, she grew to womanhood under the
care of a kind step-mother. Her brothers and sisters of this latter marriage of
her father, were Harvey, Robert, James, George, Margaret, Christina, Elizabeth
and Sarah McCormick, only two of whom are now living, Robert McCormick, of Wood
Co., O., and James McCormick, of Gallia Co., O.
The subject of this memoir was married to Joseph Waddell in the year 1824. In
the relations of wife and mother, Mrs. Waddell was affectionate, faithful and
devoted, and was highly esteemed as a kind and obliging neighbor in the
community where she dwelt. Kindness of disposition united with high moral
principle, pleasing manners, combined with neat and tasteful habits of life,
with a self control regulated by an intelligent mind, formed the personal
characteristics by which Mrs. Waddell attached to herself the high regard and
confidence of those who formed her acquaintance. Of industrious and frugal
habits of life, she looked careinlly [sic] and well to the order and comfort of
her own household and in the relations of wife and mother she was both exemplary
and faithful. She became a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church in early
life, and lived a consistent and faithful christian about 62 years. Her
religious life was of the quiet, rather than the demonstrative character,
evincing an earnest, practical piety; was deeply imbued with the spirit of Bible
truth, and exhibited a dutiful and worthy devotion to the cause of the Master.
She leaves an only son, James Waddell, now of Florence, Alabama, two grandsons,
and three grand-daughters to mourn their loss. Her funeral services were
conducted by the Rev. R. B. Ward, her pastor, and were attended by many
sympathizing friends and neighbors, at the church in Mason City.
Servant of God well done!
Thy glorious warfares past;
The battles fought, the race is won,
And thou art crowned at last.
