* MARTHA GAINES ROBERTSON
nee WOMACK, Aug 24, 1872 -
Oct 12, 1950
Mrs.
Mattie Womack Robertson, widow of Edward DeBerniere Robertson, died at her home
in Charlotte Court House, Virginia, Thursday, October 12, 1950
Mrs. Robertson was born in Prince Edward County, Virginia, August 24, 1872, the
daughter of David Gaines and Mattie Dillon Womack.
She is survived by seven sons: Edward David, Danville, Ky.; Dr. John Newton,
Fayetteville, N.C.; Yancey Hagerman, Fuquay Springs, N.C.; Giles Mebane,
Richmond; Marvin DeBerniere, Durham, N.C.; Matthew Womack, Charlotte C.H.;
Francis Dillon, Charlotte C.H.; also by sixteen grandchildren.
Gathered at the home for the funeral (in addition to many other relatives and
friends) were these seven sons and their wives and seven grandchildren.
A very impressive sight, emphasizing the strong tie of motherly and fidial
devotion existing between them.
Since their father's death in 1933, the boys provided a delightful home for
their mother, visiting her often, sometimes singly, sometimes in groups, and
last summer, all seven came at one time. They watched over her tenderly and
lovingly and cheerfully provided for her comfort, a beautiful example of a
mother's reward for her sacrificial love.
In early life, Mrs. Robertson gave her heart to Jesus Christ and by His grace,
she was enabled to live an exemplary life. 'On Christ the Solid Rock She Stood,
finding all other ground but sinking sand.'
Her aim was to imitate her Saviour. This she did in many ways, especially in her
unselfish service of others. "Others Lord, yes others" was
characteristic of her life.
At one time, there lived in her home, in addition to her husband and seven sons,
her aged father-in-law and two of his sisters. For these, Mrs. Robertson cared
patiently and tenderly adding comfort to their declining years.
Mrs. Robertson was blessed with a beautiful calm disposition, which was
evidenced by a sweet, gently voice. "In her tongue was the law of
kindness," in her judgement of others there was charity; "in quietness
and confidence she found strength."
"Blessed
are the dead that die in the Lord."
