The Southern Sentinel (Winnfield, LA), Friday, March 20, 1903
Marthy Ann Nevada McKaskle (nee Perkins) daughter and eldest child of Mr. and 
Mrs. H. J. Perkins of Winnfield, La., departed this life in Franklin Parish on 
February 10th, 1903, and was buried at the Wright grave yard, the family burial 
place, which is situated in the northern portion of Winn Parish.

The subject of this sketch, who married Neal P. McKaskle at an early age was 
barn [sic born] in Winn Parish, June 30th, 1882, and resided in her native 
parish until a few weeks before her untimely death, she moved to Franklin Parish 
with her husband, with the hope with young life before them, that they might go 
hence and begin with new life, accumulate and build up a home which would 
maintain early comforts in old age, and sustain the offsprings of their joys, 
but, alas, the grim monster death cuts asunder this fond hope and leaves a 
bereft husband, two little babes, a sorrowing father, mother, brother and four 
sisters, besides many friends and relatives to mourn her untimely departure.

At the age of thirteen she joined the Baptist Church and was a consistent member 
until her death. Only a few minutes before her death she called her husband to 
her bedside with the two little babes and kissed them goodbye, and died with a 
smile on her face which was still visible when she was interred into her last 
resting place.

How sad it is to part with our loved ones, but we are not left entirely without 
consolation, for we still have the fond hope of meeting in the land of peace and 
joy where no trouble is allowed to enter therein.

A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is still,
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.

God in His wisdom has recalled,
The boon his love had given;
And tho' the body moulders here,
The soul is safe in Heaven.

AN UNCLE.
