Miss Victoria Martin. Bora Jul? 5.
v 1886, Died February 1907
Just at mid-nif(ht on Saturday,
February 2nd, 907. the death an
gel visited the, home of Mr. and
Mrs. Wheeler Martin and took as
its victim their lieloved daughter.
Abont ten months ago she lin
gered under the hand of disease,
during all this time every means
were used to restore her to heilth,
but God touched her and she
sleeps.
Miss Victoria Martin was born
in Williamston on Julv sth 1886.
She connected herself with the
Baptist Church at the age of thir
teen. her loved ones have every
evidence that she now peacefully
slee|>s.
Why this vouug girl just enter
ing iuto womanhood, was called
from her home aud loved ones we
cannot understand, we cannot al
ways understand the matchless
purpose of Him who creates us in
His own likeness. But we should
never forget that He has a high
and noble purpose in all his deal
ings with us.
How much she will be missed iu
the home, no one can tell.
She was a devoted daughter and
sister.
She leaves a father, mother, and
brother, Fister and many friends to
mourn their loss'. But in this hour
when their hearts are torn and
bleeding they can look back with
pleasure upon her life of usefulness
aud receive comfort from the
thought that she has entered into
eternal rest.
Her suffering was borue with
christian patience; a few days he
fore her death, she was heard to
say. "I am ready to go, Oh! God,
take me front my great suffering".
Shortly before her death she suf
fered great pain; hut as the end
approached she assured her loved
ones she was well again.
"lam so happy Miss llollemann
Tell them I am well again and ain
going home."
I commend the broken hearts to
Him who doeth all things well.
A relative
In the death of Miss Victoria
Martin the town loses one of its
most beautiful daughter; a young
lady of charming personalities,
highly cultured and beloved by all
that knew her.
The funeral service was conduc
ted from the home of her parents
Monday afternoon, the most incle
ment day of the winter. Why
such a flower of beautiful young
womanhood should be cut down at
such a time and it be necessary to
lay her body to rest in the cold and
silent earth, all covered in snow
and sleet, is beyond the compre
hension of mortal man. But the :
loving Father who careth even for
the tiny sparrow and findeth a
warm place for its shelter will
temper the earth to hold peacefully
and comfortably the remains of
this beautiful young lady, because
he has called her unto Himself. *
The funeral was conducted by
fher pastor, Rev. George Dowel!.
The remains were interred in the
family plot in the Baptist cemetery
The following gentlemen were pall
bearers: Messrs. D. S. Biggs, John
D. Biggs, F. F. Fagati, C. H.
Godwin, joe and Watts Martin,
Wilmer and Simon Sitterson.
