Martin.-Mattie S., daughter of Henry S. and Mattie R. Martin, was born in Lancaster Co., Pa., Jan. 21, 1905; died of diabetes July 22, 1929; aged 24 y. 6 m. 1 d. Her death came very suddenly. Although she had been in failing health for about seven months, she was bedfast for only a few days. She accepted Christ at the age of fifteen years and united with the Weaverland Mennonite Church to which she remained a faithful member until death. She leaves her parents, 6 brothers and 6 sisters (Mrs. Luke Weaver, Mrs. Daniel Weaver, Carrie, Samuel, Henry, Leah, Walter, Lydia, Charles, Edith, and Earl). One sister preceded her in death. She also leaves her fiance, a loving friend. She was of a loving disposition and won for herself many friends. Her sickness was borne patiently and she confessed her readiness to go to her eternal home. Why God called her home so early in life we cannot understand. We ask God for grace to say, "Thy will be done." Funeral services were conducted at the home by Bro. John Sauder and at Weaverland by Bros. John Sauder and John W. Weaver. Text, Luke 8:52. Interment in adjoining cemetery. "Heaven retaineth now our treasure, Earth the lovely casket keeps, And the sunbeams love to linger Where our lovely sister sleeps." --By the Family.* Reference: Find A Grave Memorial - SmartCopy: Nov 10 2018, 21:57:33 UTC
