Miss Victoria Martin, Born Jnlr 5, 1886, Died February 190r Just at mid-night on Saturday, February 2nd, 907, the death an gel visited the , home of Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler Martin and took as its victim their Iteloved daughter. Abont ten months ago she lin gered under thi 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 (paptlst Church at the age Of thir teen, her loved ones have every evidence that she now peacefully sleeps. Why this young girl just enter ing into 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 lie has a high and noble purpose in all his deal ings with us. How much she will be missed in the home, no one can tell. She was a devoted daughter and sister. She leaves a father, mother, and brother, lister 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 and receive comfort from the thought that she has entered into eternal rest. Her suffering was borue with christian patience; a few days be fore her death, she was heard to say. "I am ready to go, Oh! God take me from my great suffering". Shortly before her death she suf fered great pain; but as the end approached she assured her loved oues she was well again. "lam so happy Miss HoHeniann Tell them I am well again and am 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 persoualities r highly cultured and beloved by all that knew her. The funeral service was conduc ted from the home of her parents Monday most incle- 1 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 ty lay her body to rest in the cold silent earth, all covered in s»ow and sleet, is lieyond 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 I her pastor, Rev. George Dowel 1. 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. Fagau, C. H.
