Elyria Democrat, The | Elyria, Ohio | Thursday, March 12, 1914 | Page 1 Obituary for Martha Edgar Davidson
Martha Edgar was born in Rathfriland, County Down, Ireland, Nov. 16th, 1844, and died in Camden, March 2nd, 1914, at the age of 69 years. Her childhood was spent in that place where she was born. At the age of 16, she joined the Presbyterian Church and was a faithful Christian. On March 1, 1864, she was united in marriage to Andrew Davidson, and one month later came to this country and settled in Camden Township, residing here ever since. To this union, nine children were born:John E.,Andrew W.,Herbert H., of Kipton; Joseph H. of Toledo; Mrs. C.A. Glass of Elyria; Frank E., James G., and Mayme V., at home; Jennie E. having died three years ago. The aged couple celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary on Sunday, the day previous to her death.She was a faithful wife, mother and friend. Those who remember her daily life remember no unkind word left her lips. When the grave hides the beloved form of a mother, children have lost their best and truest friend. The older they grow, the greater their loss. The memory of that mother's love and unselfishness will come to her children in future years, with a keener sense of loss than they now experience.
