OBITUARY
The Lord is my shepard; I shall not want; He maketh
me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside
the still waters.
He restoreth my soul; He leadeth in the paths of
righteous for his names sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of
death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and
thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of
mine enemies; thou anoinest my head with oil; my cup
runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the
days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.
Mr. Frank Martin was born in Bulloch County,
Georgia, on January 5, 1905, to the late Mrs. Leslie
