Biography

Martha was an unfortunate victim of "modern medical science" having been given a frontal lobotomy in her early twenties as a cure for depression. She lived out the rest of her life as a quite unassuming woman, living with her mother and then with her sister Clara. She is buried beside her sister on the hillside above the Beulah Mountain Christian Academy.
