Aunt Martha Elmore, of Yankeetown, who has been a resident of Montgomery County for many years, died at her home last Wednesday evening of consumption. She had been in poor health for many years. She has lived in this county all her life until the angel of death came to her May 23, 1894, at the age of 60 years, 6 months and 18 days.
She leaves a husband, one son, two daughters and four grandchildren. She was carried to her last resting place at Darlington Cemetery, May 24. Though her body was laid to rest not far from us there is a vacant chair that can never be filled. Our earthly loss is her eternal gain. May each of us say as she has said, “I am ready to go when the Lord calls for me.”
