On October 6, 1976 Martha wrote, “While I was in the hospital waiting to get completely well, I found pleasure in reading most of the New Testament and some in the Psalms and Proverbs. I was so engrossed in the love of God through His Word that I can say it was a pleasure in my stay there”. She loved life as a farm wife, taking care of her family and others, reading her Bible, growing flowers, gardening, canning, fishing, crocheting, crafts, puzzles, coloring, and most of all, fixing fence.
