In Memory of Mrs. M.A. Marshall

On the 8th of February 1908, the Lord saw fit to call from our midst my beloved 
Grandmother, Mrs. M.A. Marshall, to try the realties of a world unknown to us.

She is survived by three sons and two daughters, J.D. Marshall of Pleasant 
Hill, S.C. Marshall of Talbotton and W.J. Marshall of Columbus.  Mrs. J.T. 
Kilpatrick and Miss Ella Marshall of Talbotton.  

She was a member of the Methodist church, living a life befitting a Christian.

We feel that she is now enjoying the pleasures that ever await the good and 
faithful.

I will say to the bereaved relatives and friends do not mourn, but strive to 
live the pure and unspotted lives of Christians, that we may meet her in a 
world that is free from pain and strife.  Her life was a great lesson to us 
that have strayed from the path of duty.

I am unable in my weakness to write a fitting memorial.  As we sat at the 
bedside and watched the last signs of life pass away and my grandmother’s 
spirit take its flight to the Lord who gave it, these words came to us, How 
sweet to live and serve a God that can take away the sting of death.

Mary Belle Kilpatrick

Card of Thanks

We wish to tender our sincere thanks to those loving relatives and friends who 
comforted us with kind words and deeds during the recent illness and death of 
our beloved mother and grandmother.

The gracious sympathy and interest manifested by them tended to alleviate the 
burden of our deep bereavement and we appreciate this more than words can 
express.

May a merciful God extend to each His blessing and protection.

Mr. Sol Marshall
Mr. Jim Marshall
Mr. Will Marshall
Miss Ella Marshall
Mrs. Hattie Marshall
Miss Maybell Marshall

*Note – In the April 30th issue of The New Era on page one, there is a memorial 
article written about Mrs. Marshall. The following facts are derived from the 
article:
Mrs. M.E.* Marshall was born May 5, 1831, raised and educated at Thomaston, 
Ga., married S.F. Marshall on January 22, 1852 and departed this life on 
February 8, 1908 of lagrippe and pneumonia.  She was a member of the M.E. 
Church South and spent the greater part of her life in Talbot County.  Her 
children are listed as: Miss Ella Marshall, Mr. S.C. Marshall, Mrs. Kilpatrick, 
of Atlanta, Mr. J.D. Marshall, of Pleasant Hill and Mr. Will Marshall, of 
Columbus. This article was written by Lula R. Howell and dated April 22, 1908.

*Mrs. Marshall’s initials in the first article are listed as M.A.  I’m not 
connected to this family and don’t know which initials are correct.
