DEATH OF MRS. MARTHA A. PICKARD

Note: b. 1828 d. 1907 

The death of Mrs. Martha A. Pickard a highly esteemed
resident of Upson, occurred Tuesday morning at four
o'clock at the home of Mr. Jonathan Stewart of
Yatesville.

Mrs. Pickard had been ill since Christmas day, when she
was seized with a chill and was put to bed.  Since that
time she grew gradually weaker until death came.
Pneumonia was thought to be the cause of her death.

Mrs. Pickard was one of the oldest residents in the
country, and was well known to all the old settlers of
the county.  For fifty years she was a member of the Good
Hope Primitive Baptist Church near Yatesville.  She was
indeed an estimable Christian woman and her death is
greatly regretted. Mrs. Pickard was seventy-six years old
last April.

The funeral services were conducted Wednesday morning at
eleven o'clock by Elder W. W. Childs in the presence of a
large concourse of friends and relatives.

Mr. Charles E. Pickard of this city, and Mr. G.A.
McKinley of Indian Territory are the only surviving
children.

Mr. Pickard left Thomaston Tuesday morning to attend the
burial services.

The Times extends deepsest sympathy to the bereaved
friends and relatives.
