Martha is my great-grandmother -- I don't know much about her other than that she was a devoted housewife and mother. She sure had her hands full taking care of all those children! The "Kinmundy Express" reported that she almost died of a stroke in DEC 1920 that left her partially paralyzed -- it happened while she was doing the "family washing". If any of you have other biographical information to add, please contact me. -Donald JOHNSON
