Died

Our community was made to feel sad at the death of Mrs. Martha M. Watts, which 
sad event occurred at her residence in Butler at 6 o’clock Wednesday evening 
Jan. the 8th, after a painful illness for about one month.  She was the wife of 
Rev. W.M. Watts and eldest daughter of Wilson and Cyrene Hogan.  Mrs. Watts was 
born in Talbot County, Ga., June 27, 1831, where she was reared and married to 
Rev. W.M. Watts July 16th 1848, and to them were born four affectionate 
children.  Soon after her marriage she was converted and joined the Methodist 
church and began a consistent Christian life.  She never doubted her 
conversion, but as wife, mother and Christian evinced the grace of that 
conversion by a consistent and useful life.  She suffered greatly for a month 
but died in peace.  During the past year Mr. and Mrs. Watts served Crowell’s 
circuit with great acceptability and did a faithful and earnest work, and by 
their Christian character gained many friends in all parts of the county.  Mrs. 
Watts, during her last illness, received all the attention that kind friends 
and physicians could give, but despite their earnest endeavors she quietly 
breathed her last.  The funeral services were conducted at the Methodist church 
and concluded at the cemetery by Rev. H.C. Bruton in an impressive manner.  A 
large number of sorrowing friends accompanied the remains to the grave.  The 
bereaved loved ones have the sympathy of our entire community in their sad 
affliction.

Rev. W.M. Watts left by private conveyance on Monday for his new appointment at 
Boston, Ga., having been detained here for several weeks on account of the

to his new field of labor.
