Martha was my first cousin. She and her mother, my aunt Lenore, lived together with me and my parents in a tiny house in Fayetteville during the height of the Great Depression. We had great fun playing piano duets for Aunt Lenore's Music Club [ALMC}. I was just young enough for her to dub me her kid brother, a title that I retained throughout her life. She was a fine, generous person, who used her excellent bookkeeping skills to help my aging. widowed mother through difficult times. She contributed enormously to the musical life of her church, arranging annual "cantatas" for what ever combinations of performers she found in the congregation, utilizing skills that began the ALMC, finely honed with surprising success for many years. Jan and I will miss her greatly. Roy Hamlin Johnson, professor emeritus, University of Maryland, College Park
