| Text | Died at her home in McDowell, Nov 2, 1903, Martha Wise, aged 69 years, 1 month, and 21 days. She was the widow of the late Wiley Wise. She was born in Tennessee and came to Missouri when only 3 years old. She was a daughter of the late Thomas and Sarah Lusk of near Osa. She was a helpless invalid for 8 months and most of the time her suffering was of the worse nature, but she bore her suffering with Christian patience. She was the oldest of a family of six children and the mother of three children, one daughter proceeding her to the world of unfading joy. She leaves two sons, Bud and Frank Wise, two grand-children, two sisters, Elizabeth Hemphill and Coglin Wagon of McDowell and two brothers to mourn her loss. When was a member of the Church of God, a consistent Christian and in a death like hers there should be no regrets. 'Tis but the falling of the flower that blooms again. The sinking of the star that will rise again.' When it was clear to all that she must die, she expressed a desire to see her children that she might say good-bye to them before she crossed the river to meet those that have gone before. Her remains were laid to rest in Osa Cemetery. |
