Iron County Register, Ironton, Missouri, June 23, 1892, Page 5.
Died, at the residence of her father on Crane Pond, June 15th, 1892, Mrs. MARTHA ORR, aged 31 years, 3 months, and 10 days.
The subject of this memorial was the daughter of Rev. Robert Seal and wife; was born March 5th, 1861, being reared in Iron county, the county of her residence up to the time of her decease. At a very early age, she professed faith in Christ as her Savior, became identified with the Baptist church and was one of the most brilliant lights and devoted workers in her Master's work during the remainder of her natural life. She was united in marriage to Mr. B. F. Orr while quite young and from this union, they were blessed with three children, two of whom are living, one having passed to the mansions beyond. Her husband has been dead more than five years and during her widowhood she as made her home with her parents. Sister Orr had been a sufferer for several years from some chronic kidney trouble, but was able to be around till the last four or five months of her life, when she became so weak and feeble she had to keep her bed. During all her sickness she was nursed and cared for by her parents, brothers and sisters and everything done to alleviate pain and add to her comfort, in addition to medical aid, hoping that health might be again restored, but man's will is not God's and the loving Creator has seen fit to call a jewel home.
