• Death*: 29 January 1839; Appomattox Co., Virginia¹
• Obituary*: February 1839; Departed this life, on Tuesday, January 29th, Mrs. Martha Staples, widow of the late William Staples, of Stone Walls Mills, in Buckingham, aged about 82 years. She was a worthy member of the M. E. Church about 32 years. In her body, she suffered much pain, but after she had suffered to the extent, an Allwise Being called her to suffer, her end was in ease, faith and peace. Mrs. Staples was never known to deny a favor to old or young, white or coloured, when in her power to grant it. She was in truth a most excellent woman, and consequently had many warm friends. Although she lived among her relatives and friends to a good old age, she has at length made the great exchange of time for eternity! Many mourning friends survive her, and grieve that they shall behold her face no more in the flesh! but having hope in her death, they feel assured that their loss is her unspeakable gain.
  
  Tis o’er at length, the lingering strife is o’er,
  Our Mother’s gained the long expected shore!
  Upwards of fourscore, she dropp’d the lump of clay,
  Upborne by angels, soared to the realms of day.
  
  Our aged Mother to us a pattern gave,
  How grace could change, and to the utmost save.
  She trampled on the world, and all its pride,
  Faithfully to serve her Maker - crucified.
  
  Fearless she stood the fiery tear,
  And viewed by faith her sure approaching rest,
  Tho’ nature languished with tormenting pain,
  A hope immortal did her soul sustain.
  
  The Methodist Conference Journal, at Richmond, is requested to copy the above.
  
  Died, ten days after his grandmother (Mrs. Staples,) Fletcher Burge, in his 13th year, a fine promising noble youth, son of the late Rev. Thomas Burge of Buckingham.
  
  - from the Lynchburg Virginian, February 1839
  
  She was the daughter of Valentine Chiles and Giles Tompkins.
