Obituary: Mrs. Martha Driver Dies at Her Home
Mrs. Martha Elizabeth Bandy Driver, aged 81 years, passed away at her home in
the Underwood section at 2:30 a.m. Thursday morning. She had been under the care
of a physician since December. Her death was attributed to infirmities incident
to old age. However, she was apparently recovering and retired at an early hour
Wednesday night, seemingly feeling much improved. Her sudden passing is thought
to have been caused by a heart attack.
She was the last of the children of Wesley L and Margaret Binion Bandy. The last
sister, Mrs. Tint Blankenship, preceding her in death about 7 months ago.
She is survived by the following children: two sons, C. C. Driver of Red Boiling
Springs, and Hobart Driver, living near his mother; three daughters, Mrs. Babe
Fishburn of Lafayette, R. 4; Mrs. Radford Doss of the Oak Know section; and Miss
Gertie Driver, who lived with her mother and cared for her in her passing years;
eleven grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren also survive.
She professed faith in Christ early in life and she, with her husband, joined
the Underwood Methodist Church about 22 years ago where she remained a member
until death. Funeral services will be conducted Friday at 2:00 p.m. by Rev. J.
L. Hale of Westmoreland, her former pastor. Burial will be in Underwood.
