Notes
Death
On Tuesday at noon, May 26, 1908 the death messenger visited our home and took from us our dear mother, Mrs. Martha A. Furr. She was 51 years, 2 months and 29 days old. She is survived by a husband and ten living (three dead) children, fourteen grandchildren and a host of friends and neighbors to mourn her departure. She joined the Methodist church in early life and lived a consistent christian ever thereafter. She often talked to us of death, saying that she was prepared to go. She suffered great pain, but murmured not. She was ready and willing to go to the home beyond when the Lord called her. It is hard to give Mama up—home is so lonely. But heaven is dearer, now, that she is there. Yet again we hope to see you, when this weary life is o'er, and in heaven, with joy to greet you, we shall meet to part no more.
