     The Spirit of Mrs. Martha Ann Slade known as "Miss Matt" or "Granny" answered gods last call and entered eternity. Rev.

Service was held at Fincher Methodist church and then the body was carried to the cemetery nearby where she was laid near her husband and son. She loved spring and it seemed fitting that she should have found her last rest in the beauty of a spring day. The numerous floral offerings expressed in a small way the love her family and many friends bore for her. Her own loved ones as well as everyone in the community rise up and call her blessed. The feeling is that Meansville has lost one of its truest and noblest Christian women, one who lived her life trustworthily, obediently, helpful and earnestly and courageously. In her home her labor was of love making joyful sacrifices for everyone's sake and in her community making all around her Feel that in her each had a sister, friend and neighbor. She was born in Alabama a daughter of Elizabeth and Enoch Story and moved when an infant to this community where she has lived since. She joined Fincher Methodist church at an early age and has been a Loyal and devoted Christian. She was married at the age of 20 to Samuel S.
