Butts County Progress
Mrs. Martha Respass

Mrs. Martha Respass, one of the most prominent and best known women in the 
county, died here Thursday night at 9 o’clock at the ripe old age of 92, 
having recently celebrated her 92d birthday.

Mrs. Respass had been ill for six weeks of a complication of diseases and her 
death was not unexpected.

The deceased had been married twice, first to Mr. Robert Duke, who died 
several years ago, and to Mr. J. R. Respass of Eatonton, who died about seven 
years ago.  She was a steadfast member of the Baptist church and was much 
loved by the young people in whom she always took a great interest and delight.

Mrs. Respass is survived by two nieces, Mrs. Polk of Atlanta, and Mrs. J. N. 
Culpepper of Senoia and other relatives.

The funeral took place Friday afternoon at 2 pm and was largely attended.  The 
services were conducted by Rev. Robert VanDeventer, pastor of the Baptist 
Church.  Interment was in the Jackson Cemetery.
