Before her marriage to Mr. Tyson, who died in March 1942, she was Miss Mary Martilla Pittman. She was born on April 1, 1863, a daughter of the late William E. Pittman and Mrs. Rozella Hammond Pittman of Wisharts Township. She was a member of the East Lumberton Baptist Church and the Woman's Missionary Society, and was a regular attendent at all services, until she was confined to her home by her last illness. She possessed a quiet, unassuming disposition and a sense of humor, was gentle and patient in her manner. Her Christian influence was felt and she was greatly beloved by those who knew her.

She is survived by 5 daughters; Mrs. C. A. Crump of the home, Mrs. Iola Edmund of near Lumberton, Mrs. Earl A. Crump of Wilson, Mrs. C. D. Brothers and Mrs. Earl Tuton of Lumberton; 3 sons, W.
