Obituary from the Cleburne News (Cleburne County, Alabama)
Issue of  Oct 1, 1931

The death angel visited the home of Mrs. M. E. Benefield and took away a 
beloved mother, Mrs. Martha Ann Skinner.  She was born July 1, 1839 and died 
Sept 24, 1931 being 92 years two months and 23 days old.  She put her letter 
in Macedonia Church August 1859.  She was married to Jim Skinner January 5, 
1858.  Her passing brings sadness to our hearts but we know her suffering is 
over.  She said many times that she was ready to go and was just waiting for 
the Lord to call her home.  It was sad to part with her but our loss is 
Heaven's eternal gain.  She has many relatives and friends who grieve for her 
but God in His widwom knows best.
She is survived by her husband, three sons, two daughters and many 
grandchildren.  She was laid to rest in Macedonia Cemetery Friday afternoon. 
Funeral services were conducted by Rev. J.W. Patty and Rev. A.T. Warmack.  
Grieve not for mother for she is with Jesus.    A grandson, Milton Skinner.
