MARTHA ESTELLE ROSE WELLONS

   Mrs. Mattie Estelle Wellons, the devoted and beloved wife of Willie B. 
Wellons, aged 26 years, 7 months, died October 12 and was buried in the family 
cemetery at the home of her father near Franklin.  Mrs. Wellons is survived by 
her husband and four small children; by her father, Frank W. Rose; two 
brothers, F. Paul Rose and Willie E. Rose and one sister, Mrs. Levi T. 
Wellons.  The death is made particularly sad because of the fact that the 
husband and three children are seriously ill and were unable to attend the 
funeral.

   In the death of Mrs. Wellons the community as well as the family feels a 
keen sense of loss.  Her home life was marked by love and kindness, and these 
same Christian qualities endeared her to all who knew her.  On the death of 
her mother two years ago she assumed the responsibility of her father’s home, 
and since that time had been the means of contributing no little comfort and 
cheer to him by maintaining the home circle with filial devotion.  We mourn 
the loss of so bright a life cut off in the bloom of its usefulness.
