TRIMBLE, MARTHA
(15 Feb 1912, Sayre Standard, Sayre, Beckham Co, OK):
Death of Mrs. Trimble.
Mrs. Francis Trimble, familiarly known to the people of Sayre, as

Tuesday, February 13th, and was buried Wednesday, February 14th.  The
funeral services were conducted by the pastor, Rev. J. A. Arnold.  A more
extended biographical sketch of the life of this truly good woman who was

(29 Feb 1912, Sayre Standard, Sayre, Beckham Co, OK):
Obituary.
Grandma Trimble was born in Mississippi, November 13, 1840, was married to
R. M. Trimble, May 29, 1860.  Died February 13, 1912, aged 71 years, and
three months, after several months of suffering in which she manifested
great patience and endurance.
She joined the Christian church in 1861 and all these years had lived a
constant believer in Christ and a faithful worker in the church.  She was
our counselor and guide, always ready and willing to give assistance to
those who needed it.
Grandma Trimble was a bright star, always shining and guiding the younger
and weaker ones into the right paths.  May her example here help us to
live so that we may be with her in the home beyond.  She passed away at
the home of her niece, Mrs. Dr. Hedgpeth, who, with the assistance of the
deceased's son, Elder Fred C. Trimble, did all that loving hands could do
to make the last hours of our dear one as comfortable as was possible.  A
Friend.
