Danielsville Monitor, 13 May 1899
Mrs. Carrie Martin was born the 22d of March, 1880, and died July 5th, 1899--
being 19 years, 3 months and 13 days old.  She was cut cown in the bloom of 
her youth, but during her short stay here, she, by her loving kindness, made 
to herself as many friends as any one person we ever knew.  she joined the 
church a few years since and was buried with Christ in baptism and rose again 
to walk with him in newness of life.  And her rising was not in vain, for she 
walked the pilgrim's road through in Jesus' name, and when she was taken sick 
she said she would never get well again, and continued to affirm it; but she 
did not forget to show the good seed, though some of  them were sown in tears, 
but this only made us think of what the Psalmist said in the 126th 
Psalm: "They that sow in tears shall reap in joy."  She bore her sickness with 
all patience and said she did not fear the sting of death, but knew that death 
would be her eternal gain.  She leaves a husband and a host of relatives and 
friends to mourn her death.  While her body lies in the grave in deep sleep, 
her spirit is with the angelic host around the throne at Jesus' feet.  Her 
remains were quietly laid to rest ni the cemetery at Jones' Chapel.  Rev. J. 
H. Simmons conducted the burial service in a short and appropriate manner.
