Lucretia Redish Martin (1818-1888)

Whereas it has pleased our Almighty God to remove our beloved sister Lucretia Martin from our midst, who departed this life the 2nd day of March, 1888, she was born in Warren County Georgia on May 12th 1818.  She was the daughter of Samuel B. and Susan Redish and was married to James H. Martin on the 2nd of November 1837, moved to Randolph County, Georgia and lived there until 1854 when they moved to Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana, and lived there until the day of her death.

They lived together 54 years and four months, they had seven daughters and one son, who all survive her.  She was baptized into fellowship of Liberty Baptist Church.  She was in the constitution of the Central Baptist Church, of which she lived and died a consistent member; an old mother in Israel has gone but we mourn not as those who have no hope, whereas we bow in meek submission to our heavenly Father.
