Martha Bishop daughter of William and Emma Bush Melton was born in Nodaway Co., MO. March 9,1869 and departed this life July7,1931, age 62 years 3 months and 28 days. At the age of 13 she with her parents,brother and sisters came to Indiana and made their home in Washington Co., IN. She united with the Church Of Christ at Kansas at an early age and remained true to that faith,attending church when her health permitted. On march 5, 1891 she was united in marriage to William S. Bishop and to this union 4 daughters were born. Talma M. Lula O., Eulah, and Helen M. Mattie as she was called was a loving mother and a friend to everyone. She had been in poor health for several years, but grew worse 13 weeks ago. She had no fear of death but was ready and willing to go. She leaves to mourn their loss, the husband, 3 daughters, Mrs. Talma Hall wife of Eli Hall, Eulah R. and Helen M. who resided with the parents. Two granddaughters Olive and Goldia Marshall. 2 sisters, Mrs. Mollie Nale, and Mrs. Effie Lukenbill of Tulsa, OK. , other relatives and a host of friends and neighbors. She was preceded in death 17 years ago by her second daughter Lula, also her parents, one brother Charles Melton and one sister Hester Melton. Funeral services were conducted from the Big Spring Church Wednesday at 3:00 by Elder Samuel Lankford of Paoli. Burial in the adjoining cemetery. I cannot say and I will not say, that she is dead, she is just away. With a cheery smile and a wave of the hand, she has wandered into an unknown land. And left us dreaming how very fair, it must be since she lingers there.
