The Cairo Messenger, Friday, April 26, 1918
Mrs. Martha J. Tyus Passed To Great Beyond

Mrs. Martha J. Tyus died at her home about one mile south of town at 3:30 
o'clock Wednesday afternoon.

Although Mrs. Tyus has suffered from organic heart trouble for several months, 
the end came very suddenly.  Her daughter, Mrs. Onselo Maxwell, who lived with 
her mother, was not aware of the change until a few minutes before she passed 
away.

The funeral was held at her home yesterday afternoon at four o'clock, Rev. W. 
G. Sellers and Rev. W. C. Jones conducted the funeral rites; her body was laid 
to rest in the Baggett cemetery right near her home.  

Mrs. Tyus was in her sixty-ninth year.  She is the widow of the late "Jack" 
Tyus who was the first sheriff of Grady County.

She was a lovable, sweet spirited woman; although she stayed at home closely 
those who knew her admired her.  She went from earth in great peace with God 
and men.  Only one son, Mr. R. A. Tyus, and one daughter, Mrs. Onselo Maxwell, 
survive her.  She also leaves three brothers and two sisters and quite a number 
of grand-children; among them is one who is serving his country in France.  May 
the God of Heaven keep these bereaved ones in the hollow of His hands.
