You may have been the best looking, best dressed boy or girl in your senior class, but off at school you may be hardly noticed in the crowd.

It isn’t easy to remember how some folks looked in life, even a few short years after their death. Not so wiUi Martha. Many moons have passed since the Sweet Chariot swung low for to carry her home, out her image remains. Most of us knew little, if anything, about her background.
