MARTHA E. HANCOCK

Died at the residence of her father, R. L. Hancock, near Vicksville, Southampton 
Co., Va., Feb. 7, 1907 Martha Hancock after an illness of six days from spinal 
trouble and pneumonia.  She was 13 years of age and bore her suffering with 
fortitude.  Her pastor Rev. D. B. Austin, visited her just before her death and 
she thought that she was going to a more beautiful world and would meet her 
brother at the gates of heaven.  She leaves to mourn her loss a father, mother, 
two brothers, four sisters, and many relatives and friends.  As her desire was 
to be buried at Johnson's Grove Church her remains were taken there Feb. 9 and 
was quietly laid to rest there in the presence of a large crowd.  The burial 
services were read by Mr. J. W. Johnson.  She has two cousins and a brother who 
tenderly await her in the heavenly home.  The pall bearers were Millard 
Williams, Robert McClenny, Pompey Turner, and Tommy Hundley.
