Mrs. Martha Edmonds died July 8th, 1897, after a long term of suffering. Her sons left home and business to care for mother. We all had learned to love her. He called on her only a few days preceding her death and addressed with "How is it today, Aunt Mattie," and with her usual smile said "this home is getting a little rugged, but over the river I see the other one. It is more lovely than I can tell."
