IN MEMORIAM.

Mrs. Martha Bailey Ridge was born
Jan. 6, 1886, and departed this life
May 12 1911. She was 75 years, 4
months and days old when she died.
She professed religion when quite
young and joined the Methodist
Church and lived faithful christian
until called to her reward. Sister
Ridge was married to David Ridge
about the beginning of the war. Her
husband was a Lieutenant in the Fed
eral army. For number of years Mr..
and Mrs. Ridge were two of the most
active workers in the church.
She was left a widow in the year
1888. Sister Ridge was the mother of
eight children. seven of whom survive
her. William, the Oldest, was acci-
IDENTIFY killed about 19 or 90 years ago.
The living are: Mrs. Mary Janeway,
Joe, Hiram, Lizzie, James and Frank
Ridge, and Mrs. Esther Janeway.
At the time of her death Sister
Ridge was living with her daughter,
Esther, in Chattanooga. She was
brought to Looney's Greek and buried
by the side of her husband at the
league graveyard, to await the resur-
rection of the just. She lived quiet
and useful life and will be missed in
the home, in the community and in
the church. Her home was always
open to ministers of the gospel, and
she was always ready to help support
the ministry, regardless of denomina-
tion. One very strange thing hap
pened during her illness. Her daugh-
ter-in-law, Mrs. Dora Ridge, took sick
at the same time she did, and died
within few hours of her death, and
both were buried at the same time
Rev. Sadler conducted the funeral SER
vices for both. They are gone, but
we believe they are gone where no few
er ever burns the cheek, and sickness
never bligbts, and where the quiet is
broken only by songs of praise and
shouts of the redeemed that come out
of great tribulation, and have washed
their garments and made them white
in the blood of the Lamb.
