An up to date farmer and orchardist. A devoted member of Lebanon Presbyterian Church, elected Elder thereof in 1840." Mrs. Wm. S. Rodes.
"Mrs. Martha McCue died of heart failure December 8, 1874, in the 63d year of her age, at the home of her son, John Watt McCue, Afton, Nelson county, Va. The deceased had been for forty years member Lebanon Presbyterian Church, Albemarle county, Va. Thus for more than the average life of a generation her personal influence had been for Christ and his cause. Her Christian character was decided. She was remarkable for sincerity, truthfulness and candor, seeking rather to profit rather than please those with whom she was associated. Singularly unselfish, she was constant in her
labors for the good of others. In all the relations she as daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother and friend, she was diligent and faithful. Her hope of salvation was based entirely on the all sufficient merit and perfect righteousness of Jesus Christ. * * * B. M. Wailes." ...
