M.M. Mashburn died July 8, 1895
Just found this on my trip to the Library, thought someone might be interested in it
Obituary article from the Arkansas Baptist Magazine,dated July 24, 1895
Mashburn, M.M. diednear fairview, Ark., July8, 1895 Aged 78 years.
He was born in South Carolina in 1817. Moved to Alabama in early life, thence to Arkansas in 1866. He professed religion in 1843 and served as a deacon 45 years, and was oneof the most useful members in his church and community. Surely the world is better for his having lived in it.
He raised a large family who are nearly all Baptists. Just before his death he selected Bro. Kelly and another minister to conduct the funeral, and also selected the songs to be sung. He leaves a wife and many friends to mourn their loss. Though we say he is dead, yet our faith says he lives forever. Thank God for this Hope.Wm. Tucker.
