Obituary of Martha Luckey Crosby 
as written in "The Camilla Enterprise" dated 10 Jan 1913.  


The death of Mrs. Martha Crosby, wife of Ed Crosby, came very suddenly 
on Wednesday morning, at her home two miles northwest of Sale City. Mrs. Crosby was 
about eighty five years old.  She and her husband were still living at the old homestead 
near Shady Grove.  She had been in bed for several weeks, but was not thought to be 
seriously sick.  Her strength just gave way suddenly after bearing the strain of an active 
life for a number of years leaving her in a state of collapse.  She died quietly about seven 
o'clock Wednesday morning.  An aged husband and three children, J.P. Crosby of 
Albany, Sam Crosby and Mrs. Henry Mansfield, who live in the country near their 
parents, mourn the loss of this good woman.  Mrs. Crosby was one of the oldest residents 
of the county, living her life quietly, unpretentiously, content in presiding over the home, 
and in fulfilling the duties of wife and mother.  Funeral services were held at Shady 
Grove Church yesterday afternoon at one 'clock.
