Mrs. Martha Wilson was born in
Dresden, Tenn, in the dark year of
1920 or 1922, where she lived with
her parents until about the age of
IA. She was then taken to Fayette-
vile, Ark, where she met her hus-
band, James McKizic, with whom she
lived until about 1861 when he was
sold to a Southern master and died
two years later. Martha, his wife,
was left with eight small children to
support after doing her task for her
task master, Mr.. Wilson. She left
Fayetteville in 1863 with her chill
dren for Springfield, Mo-, remaining
there two years, after which she
moved to Lawrence. Kas., in 1865,
where she remained until death.
1t is useless to relate what courage
and energy was required to rear eight
children and provide for herself.
Nevertheless she lost sight of the
world and made every required sacri-
flee until she had seer the last reach
the age of maturity.
God in his divine providence has
blessed her, for she has seen her
children and children's children. She
was faithful in all her doings and
loved by all who knew her.
She professed a hope in Christ about
25 years ago, but for several reasons
she did not unite with any church.
However, the Methodist church was
her choice. Mrs. Wilson was about SO
years of age and was able to provide
for herself until about IA months ago,
when she was confined to her bed,
to receive an infants care. Yet dur
ing this long illness she was faithful
and often said: "Of course l prefer
death to this suffering, but God knows
She leaves five children-Mrs. Lucy
Stone, Mrs. Kate Reynolds, Mrs. Eliza
beth Brown, James Wilson and Chas.
Wilson, and a host of grand and great
grandchildren and friends to mourn
her loss. She died March 81 at 2:15
m. Let us say from the depths of
our hearts as a way of coincidence.
1t is God who giveth and God who
taketh; blessed be his holy name.

AN EXTENSION MISSIONARY
DIES

In the death of Reverend George
Montreuil, a missionary in Texas, the
cause of Catholic Extension in America
lost noble supporter. Father Mon
treuil, built through his own efforts
and gifts from the Catholic Church
Extension Society seven churches in
out of the way parts of Texas.
Father Montreuil was an indefatigible
worker. Church building in his zeal
GUS heart grew to fever heat. The
more churches he built the more he
wanted to build, and the great need
of the churchless Texas country was
sore in his Jealous heart.
Formerly Father Montreuil was a
priest of the Ogdensburg, New York,
diocese, but his health failed, and
Bishop Gabriels recommended him to
Bishop Gallagher, and in April of 1911
he went to Texas. In those four short
years he built seven churches. Of
course, the society, through the gen.
crosby of its benefactors, helped
largely, but the inspiration came from
Father Montreuil. In order to be of
greater assistance to his Mexicans he
went to the trouble of learning the
Spanish language. He was indeed a
father to them in every sense of the
word. He wept at their sorrows and
rejoiced in their happiness, and when
sickness visited his fold, with tender
mercy he would nurse his children
back to bodily health.
There are many missionaries now in
Bishop Gallagher's diocese, who are
as deserving of help as was Father
Montreuil. They are seeing the Prot
estant denominations undermining the
faith of their Mexican charges while
they have nothing to offer them.
The Oblates, for instance, are labor
ing for the evangelization of these
Mexican people. Father Serodes, a
missionary, is begging the society for
funds for his missions. A thousand
dollars would indeed be welcome to
him and his charges. 1t could be sent
in memory of Father Montreuil, who
wore himself out for the cause. The
donations for Father Serodes missions
may be sent to the offices of the So.
ciety, Mccormick Building, Chicago,
and they will be promptly forwarded
to him.
