Martha Hall was born near Port
Clinton, Ohio June 1914. In her 10Th
year she was married to Z. +. Chap
man of Huntington. Ohio, where she
died June s, 1897.
In early life she embraced the
Christian religion and a well ordered
life adorned her profession, that was
truly possession. To them were
born four children. Two of the lovely
daughters passed to the spirit land in
June 1894. This sad bereavement to
this sorrowing mother strained life's
heart strings to its greatest extremity.
Like Rachel she weeped for her loved
ones gone.
This mother gave in tears and pain
The flowers she so much loved.
She knew she'd find them all again,
In the fields of light above"
Yet her loss seemed irreparable.
Her affection for, and her attachment
to her family was without limit.
Though often said "My loved ones
over there are waiting my coming"
She realized that death was but the
medium of exchange. The transition
through which we must pass in order
that this mortal can put on immor-
tality. Her faith that was unwaver-
ing has now been changed to sight
and her importunate prayer to praise.
Her place in Gods house was seldom
vacant. Her influence will long be
felt and the memory of her useful life
fondly cherished. Loving hands min
istered to her every want and lined
her last resting place with flowers.
She sleeps well till she wakens in His
likeness.

abandoning their belongings.
All along the route to Fort Imaret
captured by the Creeks there were
evidences of the hasty flight of the
Turkish householders. The belongings
of the Turks were everywhere scat.
tered about.
During the fighting on Tuesday the
Turks at daybreak attempted to rush
the bridge and capture Aria by assault.
Their artillery had been secretly
brought up during the night and placed
in position on anding elevations
opposite the town. Under cover of a
furious cannonade the Turks advanced
upon the bridge, and were received
with a murderous rife fire from the
Greeks. The Turks made several at
tempts to cross the bridge, but in spite
of their desperate efforts they never
succeeded in getting further than the
center of the bridge. There the Turk
ish commander fell dead under the ter.
rible fire of the Greeks, and the
Turks Fell Back in Dismay.
Some time afterwards the Turkish
guns were silenced. In spite Of this
reverse the Turks renewed the assault
during the afternoon and further des-
perate fighting followed. The Greeks,
sheltered in their trenches, fought gal
lantly and held their own although
since the outbreak of hostilities on
Sunday, the Greeks had not for q mo-
ment quilted their posts in the trenches.
Stories Of Turkish atrocities are cur
rent here. A Greek officer. who says
he was an eye witness of the affair, as.
serts that in the attack which the
Turks made upon the Greek positions
west of Aria, a number of captured
Christian women were marched in
front of the Turkish lines, in expecta.
ton that the Greeks would refrain
from returning the fire Of the Turks
for fear of wounding the women.

vent the Greek feet from attacking the
Turkish towns OF the gulf Of Salonica,
which are neal the railroad to Salonica
and which have been used as points to
land stores for the Turkish army and
