GONE TO Her REWARD.
Mrs. Martha E. Marcum, After
Long illness, Crosses to the
Other Side.
WELL-KNOEN ALL OVER THE STATE

There are but few women whose &C
quaintance extended over more terri
tory than the subject of this writing,
whose death occurred last Sunday
morning at $50 O'Clock. Her passing
was not surprise, as her condition
was critical for five weeks before hel
demise.
The deceased was the widow of the
late M. HI. Marcum, who served this
county eight years as its County Court
Clerk, and was also the proprietor OF
the Columbia Hotel when he died,
about twelve years ago. The deceased
was born and reared in Russell county,
her maiden name being Mckinley, and
it was on Cumberland river, In said
county, she and her husband were
married. A short time after their un-
ion they removed to Columbia-about
forty years ago, and it was here the
major portion of her life was spent,
and where all her children were born
excepting one. She was a woman of
strong character, loved her home and
was perfectly devoted to the Christian
Church, having been Jealous mem
ber for many years. At the time of
death she was in her seventieth year.
Having conducted a clearinghouse
in this place for great many years,
commercial men making her home
their headquarters, her acquaintance
became wide over the State, and the
intelligence of her demise will be re-
ceiVed with sorrow in many parts of
the Commonwealth.
She leaves three daughters, Mrs. Le-
ma PAUL, Miss Sallie Ray Marcum and
Mrs. Nina Denver, all of whom were
constantly at her bedside until the f.
nal dissolution. She loved her chill
dren and her children were perfectly
devoted to her. She has gone to pre-
pare place for them and to meet
those who have gone before.
May God comfort and sustain those
who have lost their best estfriend-moth-
Grand may they so live as to be ready
to meet her in the celestial city when
their earthly missions have been clos
ed, is the wish of the writer who had
known the departed almost from the
day she became a resident of this
place, having boarded in the home
for several years.
The funeral services were conducted
by Ed. z. T. Williams, her pastor,
assisted by Rev. o. P. Bush, in
the Christian Church Monday after
noon at 4;3O O'Clock, the minister pay
ing high tribute to her worth and
devoted Christian character. At the
close of the discourse all that was NOR
tai of this good woman was laid to
rest in the city cemetery.
The floral designs were many and
baautiful
