OBITUARY from The Alabama Methodist Protestant for SARAH LUCINDA MARTIN

Died April 13, 1908 in the 69th year of her life, Sarah Lucinda Martin, 
daughter of James and Ellen Story. Sister Martin was born near Salem in 
Russell county, now Lee county, Alabama, on March 10, 1839. She joined the 
church in 1854 under the pastorate of Rev. John Cowert of the Alabama 
Methodist Protestant Conference and in the church of her choice she lived 
consistently until the day of her death.

In the life of Sister Martin we have a character of genuine Christian 
integrity, possessed of that coveted, cheerful, uncomplaining nature so rare 
among those of her station. Sister Martin was married to Marcellas Newton 
Martin in girlhood, whom she survived ten years. To this union was born 
eleven children. All, with the exception of one, still live to mourn the 
loss of mother. At the time of her death she was stopping with her youngest 
son and daughter, Grover Martin and Mrs. Fannie Askew of Newnan, Ga. She was 
confined to her bed only a short time. She bore her sufferings patiently and 
trustingly, submitting herself confidently to the will of the Lord. When the 
final end came, one breath, deep and long, and the tired spirit rested 
forever, "safe in the arms of Jesus, safe on His gentle breast." By request, 
she was brought home to the chursh she loved so well and the famiy burying 
ground at Hopewell, Lee circuit, and peacefully laid beside her husband, to 
await the second coming of her Lord. Thus was buried one among three of the 
oldest of Hopewell's members. Mrs. F. Browning
