OBITUARY for Mrs. Martha Lee "Mattie" (Hartley) Allen

Obituary—Mrs. Martha Lee "Mattie" (Hartley) Allen
Mrs. Martha Lee "Mattie" (Hartley) Allen , daughter of Thomas and Hannah Jane (Kirkhart) Hartley,was born February 06, 1882 near Troy, Lincoln County, Missouri, and passed to her eternal reward February 10, 1940 at Hawk Point, Lincoln County, Missouri, as the result of a cerebral hemorrhage at the age of 58 years and 4 days.
The day before her home-going she seemed unusually cheerful and hopeful. On this day one of her last written messages to a shut-in contained the following words:
"We know whatever the test, it's for the best; We will be still and do His will."
Today after her passing away, these words seem to us a prophetic farewell of her own passing.
Sister Allen was a member of a family of six children. She was given in marriage to Charles Perry Allen on December 26, 1907 to which union eight children were born—three sons and five daughters. One daughter, Eva, having died in infancy and Wilma Fern having passed away on March 31, 1939, at the age of seventeen. Her husband, Charles Perry Allen also preceded her in death on June 08, 1930.
In her youth Sister Allen, united with the Methodist Church, but after her marriage to Mr. Charles Perry Allen, she went with him and became affiliated with the Christian Church. In the fall of 1930, Brother Lawrence Schaper and workers held a tent meeting in Hawk Point, Lincoln County, Missouri, where she heard emphatic preaching on the definite experience of the New Birth and of the baptism with the Holy Spirit. She was definitely born again in this meeting and a few days later was gloriously sanctified. These two climatic experiences exerted a profound influence upon her life and were unmistakable evidence that her life had been truly transformed.
In the church her life was one of blessing and usefulness. Often when she rose to her feet to tell of the goodness of God to her soul, the Lord would bless her. In her concern for the churches endeavors, few were more conscientious, thoughtful or liberal. It seemed she could never do enough for her Christ or for others. She had a faith that was victorious over every situation and circumstance of life. If she became discouraged, she never showed it. In the family circle, she exerted a quiet and godly influence upon the children, ever being concerned about their spiritual welfare and earnestly holding them up in prayer. As a neighbor, she was kind and thoughtful, held in esteem and highly respected, and always carried a concern about their well-being. As an epitaph to her life it might be said: she was fervent in prayer, full of faith and of the Holy Ghost.
She is survived by her children: Hiram Earl of San Jose,Santa Clara County, California; Freeman Pearl of Los Altos, Santa Clara County, California; Thomas Henry of Oakland, Alameda County, Calfornia; Hannah May, Janette Esteel of Hawk Point, Lincoln County, Missouri, and Martha Vivian of Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio; also three brothers: James Hartley of Cherryvale, Montgomery County, Kansas, Thomas and Henry Hartley OF Troy, Lincoln County, Missouri, and one sister, Mrs. Joe Brown of Troy, Lincoln County, Missouri; and 34 nephews and nieces, and other relatives and friends.
Funeral services were conducted at the Hawk Point Community Church by Louis J. Duewell and Lawrence Schaper, February 15. Interment was in the Cannon Cemetery, Hawk Point, Lincoln County, Missouri.
