Martha was a 2nd Mother to me and my sister in the 1950's. She was
our family's next door neighbor on Cherry Street in Nevada Mo. Martha was a
retired Cottey College Music Teacher and she worked at Spencer and Hatch
Optometrists. Martha had no children of her own so we spent lots of hours, days
and weekends with her and her then husband Mack Braswell who lived in Kansas
City Mo. When Martha and Mack divorced in the late 1950's she married Emile
George Lemoine, a widower who lived in the neighborhood. EG as he was called by
family and friends had 2 grand daughter's, Robin and Jan the same age as me and
my sister. Our family moved from Cherry Street to Main Street which seemed so
far away from Martha and EG. Mack lived and worked in Kansas City Mo. we only
saw him once after the divorce. He brought the our whole family Christmas gifts
the last time we saw him. My Dad thought since Martha and Mack were divorced it
was best that Mack did not visit us. This made me so unhappy, my sister and I
loved Mack. For a while Martha would come and get us to spent the weekend at
EG's house. Then she quit calling and coming to get us. As young as I was I lost
touch with Martha and when on with my life. I never saw Martha again and never
knew she had passed away on July 30th 1983. Services were Tuesday August 2nd at
Deepwood Cemetry Nevada Mo. Martha was 78 years old. From the very small
obituary in the Nevada Daily Mail I feel she had no one but EG left. Martha I
miss you and wish I could have grown up with you and kept in touch. Kaye
