  1. Was so sorry to hear about you passing Aunt Martha. I will miss your smiling face and love when I come back home. Your a special aunt. Sure glad Aunt Esther was there for you all that time. Love Butch and Johanna.

    I haven’t seen Martha for many years, I used to see her in Marsh’s with her daughter. She was a sweet and gentle soul, with a beautiful smile. I knew her sister Margaret Murray very well because I used to work for her when she was married to D.A. Murray and help her with housework and babysit for Don, Denny, Doug, David and Linda. The last I heard about Doug was that he lived in Florida, this was told to me by Linda (Murray) Falk. I keep in touch with Linda via email and facebook. Linda came to Tipton a few years ago and stopped to see me. If anyone in the family has Doug’s address I would love to write to him. My address is 315 S. Main Street, Tipton, Indiana 46072.

    So very sorry to hear this news. I remember the day when Barb Was in the hospital with her wonderful wife Catherine by her side and how happy she was when her mother walked in to the room. It left a lump in all of our throats. We all know how much Barbara Cochran Horne and Catherine Horne loved her so much. It’s so sad to see a mother who loved them both so dearly to pass on. Yet we all know there up in heaven looking at us all and smiling. God bless all.
