Lot, MarthaLott, Mattie1881-10-161881-07-09Forest View Cem., Lot 215, Grave 10.“Sore” that “went to her head”1. "When I got back to my own home today, I found the dear little child, I had prayed for and loved so much, your own dear little Mattie was dead! [...] I can help your hearts a little by telling you that my wife when she found that Mattie was very sick brought her into our own home and our neighbors [the Walkers] came in and all have tried the best they could to save her life. She had three doctors [*in a later letter, he corrects this to ‘two doctors’] and they all did all they could. When the sore on her side healed up and stopped running it went to her head and that is what caused her death. So the doctors all say, and when you and your people feel so sorry in your hearts about her dying, you will not forget that the poor little girl has been suffering a long time with the disease that has now caused her death and when the disease went to her head she could not feel her pain and at the last, crossed her pretty little hands over her breast and went to sleep in Jesus."
