R. Linville of Skidmore, celebrated her 85th birthday Wednesday. Martha E. Cameron was born in Knox county, Tennessee, and came with her parents to Missouri eighty years ago, settling in the Platte purchase, where Kansas City now stands and where was born her brother, Thomas Patton, who now resides in Skidmore. Her first husband, William Jent, was a Mexican soldier and died in old Mexico while fighting for his country. She afterward married Aaron Linville, the father of W. R. Linville, the well known banker farmer and stockman of Skidmore and Monroe township." -------- From the June 1, 1916 Skidmore News, page 1: "Birthday Party Last Sunday about fifty friends and relatives gathered at the residence of Mrs. T. B. Slaughter, three and one-half miles northeast of Skidmore, to help Mrs. Martha E. Cameron celebrate her 89th birthday, as she was 88 years young on that day. Mrs. Cameron was born near Knoxville, Tenn., and with her parents came to Missouri when she was only four years of age, and has resided in the county and vicinity for seventy years. She is the mother of six children by her first marriage, three daughters - Mrs. Sarah Hornbuckle, Clearmont; Mrs. Mary (T. B.) Slaughter, Mrs. Lucinda Bowlin and three sons, W. R., Joseph T., and John H. All had an enjoyable time and Aunt Martha felt just as young as the youngest guest - Woodrow Wilson Dewitt. Aunt Martha tried awhile to live in town, but she couldn't stand it, so she had to go to the country where things were more to her liking and she could hear the birds sing. She has had to milk a cow all winter - sunshine or storm, she has never missed. She was compelled to milk because she wanted to. She hoes in the garden except Sundays and when it is too muddy, as she feels as though she wants outdoor exercise. It was fortunate that her birthday was on Sunday because she would have been so busy that she would hardly have had time to entertain so many people on a week day. Her children gave her a very nice token of remembrance, which was presented to her by E. T. Duval in a few very appropriate remarks. Those present were Mrs. Martha Cameron, J. W. Linville and wife, J. T. Linville and wife, Alfred Dewitt and family, Aaron Linville and family, W. S. Linville and family, Wm. Devers and family, Mrs. Sam Masters, Mrs. Mary Wampler, Mrs. May Russell, Mrs. Laura Sharp, Mrs. T. B. Slaughter, Miss Anna Linville, Alex Russell, E. T. Duval, J. H. Linville and Everett Linville." From the May 30, 1918 Skidmore News, page 1: "Grandma Cameron is Ninety Mrs. Martha Cameron, the oldest (in years, yet maybe not in actions) Red Cross worker, and, for all we know, the oldest woman in the township, celebrated her ninetieth birthday Tuesday, May 28, 1918. Although she has been an active woman all her life, she is remarkably well preserved physically and as 'bright as a dollar' mentally." -------- From the December 11, 1919 Skidmore News, page 1: "Martha Paton was born near Knoxville, Tennessee, May 28th, 1928, and lived there with her parents until she was 4 years old. Her parents moved to Jackson County, Missouri, 1832, and from there to Platt County, in 1836, from there to Nodaway County, in 1846, where she has lived ever since. She was married to Aaron Linville in 1847, who died in the army in 1861. To this union was born 8 children, 2 dying in infancy, one daughter, Mrs. Lucinda Bowlin, died April 30, 1918. She is survived by three sons, W. R. Linville, J. T. Linville, J. H. Linville, two daughters, Mrs. M. J. Slaughter and Mrs. Sarah Hornbuckle, also one brother, William Patton of Kansas. There are 28 living grandchildren, 77 living great grandchildren, 11 great-great grandchildren. She was married a second time to Anderson Cameron, April 30th, 1873, who died February 23rd, 1885. She was converted in early years and united with the M. E. Church South, of which she has been a faithful and dependable member, up to the time of her death, which came December 5th, 1919, after being ill for several weeks. At the time of her death she was 91 years 6 months 7 days old. There is little we can add in praise of a life such as hers, as it speaks for itself. She has always lived an upright Christian life and was loved by all who knew her. Those from out of town attending the funeral were: Mr. and Mrs. Ed Hornbuckle of Burlington Junction, Mr. and Mrs. James Hornbuckle and Mr. and Mrs. Tillman Hornbuckle of Clearmont, John Sexton and wife of Maryville, Charlie Hornbuckle, Maryville, J. S. Davis, Maryville, Mrs. J. D. Millstead and son Paul, of Springfield, Missouri."
