Taylor, was born Jan. 8, 1860; died Sept. 9, 1930; age 70 years, 8 months and one day. She was married to John R. Anderson, Jan 15, 1878. To this union was born two children, Alice, a baby girl having died in infancy, and Willie, living to be twenty years. After Mr. Anderson's death she was married to Mr. W.C. Insco Nov. 21, 1901. This union was very happy and continued for ten years, when Mr. Insco departed this life. She was later married to Mr. Albert Maubray. Early in life she made a public profession of religion and at the age of 18 united with the Corinth Baptist church, where she remained a loyal member until death. Mrs. Insco, as she was commonly known, was of a large and highly respected family of this community. She leaves four brothers, Mr. James J. Taylor, T.E. Taylor, S.A. Taylor, of Dresden; Mr. A. M. Taylor of Scoobe, Miss., one brother, Mr. C.C. Taylor, having preceded her to the grave. Mrs. Insco's life was a great inspiration to us all. She truly walked by faith and not by sight, proving to us all that she sought a city which hath foundations and whose builder and maker is God. She never complained in her sufferings and seemed to be perfectly reconciled to God's providential dealings with her, dying in a triumphant faith of God and the immortality of the soul. Let's "lift up out heads, for, behold our Redemption draweth nigh," and "weep not for her as one who had no hope." Martha Ann was a member of the Corinth Baptist Church since 1878.
