AN APPRECIATION
Sparta, Va, Dec. 18th.

Sparta, Va, Dec. 18th.
To The Free Lance.
A short notice in your columns OF the
death of Mrs. Rebecca Martin, Of this
county, leads me to ask for a small
space in your paper to add a word OF
appreciation of her.
Mrs. Martin was not only woman OF
intellectual force and vivacity, but she
was a person of devout and religious
mind. as illustrated by two incidents
which came under my notice some
years ago.
On one occasion my father and were
travelling down the Rappahannock river
when Mrs. Martin came on board the
steamer at Port Royal. She greeted US
cordially as she always did and then
entered into a most interesting conver-
sation with my father. She soon passed
on 10 a subject of special interest to
her at that time, the death OF little
grandehiId, the only child Of its mother.
She was much distressed, both because
of the mother and because she herself
was much attached to the child, but
can never forget the spirit Of resigna-
tion and trust which marked her
language, nor the beautiful manner
with which she expressed herself.
Some fifteen or more years ago when
nv mother died my father was the re-
cipient of letters from great number
of friends. There was not one whose
warm and discriminating appreciation
of our loved mother or whose tender and
touching sympathy or whose beautiful
and expressive diction made deeper
impression on my mind and heart
These two incidents bespeak her sym
pathetic and devout spirit. There are
a thousand such incidents which are
known by her friends, but let these
suffice. Andrew Broaddus.
