This marriage was blessed with three children. Martha spent her life farming with her husband in the Hutto, San Angelo, Beyersville and Browns Gin area. After retiring from farming they moved to Taylor. Martha was a very Christian Southern lady who loved her Lord and was a member of the Brethren Christian Sisters. She spent many hours working hard in the fields. Martha was a strong, mild and sweet natured lady. She was known for wonderful kolaches and beautiful flowers in her yard.

This loving wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother will truly be missed by her many family members and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, Frank J.
