Summary of a conversation with Martha Lou Stephenson on January 25, 2000. Martha Lou was raised in pendleton as a child, left and has returned to live near Pendleton: She remembers both Viola and her sister, Carrie Harris. She describes Viola Stephenson as being very smart, musically talented, somewhat eccentric, short of statute, plump and rather dumpy, and had a disability which caused her to limp. Viola sweemed to have sufficient income to be well dressed and to drive a large up to date car. She was the organist at Roberts Chapel Baptist Church for years and gave private piano lessons in her home. In fact Martha Lou took piano lessons from her and remembers that Viola and her sister, Carrie, had lots of extremely fine antique furniture in their home. Viola belonged to the Music Club and was an avid and smart bridge player. She was well liked and well known in the community and her church. Carrie did not seem to be as smart as Viola and followed Viola's lead. Late in her life, Viola married a man named, Rossie Layton, who was not from the area. Carrie in turn married a friend of Rossie Layton. As a part of Roberts Chapel's one hundred and fify year celebration, the Church made improvements to the cemetery and made a census of the graves. They were not able to find Viola's grave nor Carrie's. They could not remember whether she was buried there or at home. Martha thinks that they are probably buried in the cemetery and not having any close relatives other than their new husbands, no marker was ever bought.

PENDLETON \emdash Martha Lou Stephenson, a rare and formidable Southern woman who loved any excuse to be outdoors, died March 6 at her home in Pendleton. She was 85.

A wildly entertaining storyteller, Martha Lou majored in English at Meredith College and remained an avid reader who appreciated a well-turned phrase. She was an exceptional gardener, refinisher of furniture and scavenger of junk-store treasures. She also played a mean game of Scrabble, made cussing sound like poetry and spoke a special language with animals.

And throughout the highs and lows of her life, she remained a loving mother who indulged her children's passions and treated each of their minor achievements as a major triumph.

The youngest of four children, Martha Lou was born and reared in Pendleton, where she refused to sit still long enough to play dolls with her sister. No sooner had the doll house been set up than she ran outside to help her father with chores, a parade of dogs and cats at her heels.

Blessed with long limbs and boundless energy, she was a standout basketball player at Severn High School.

As an undergraduate at Meredith, she became a disciple of Dr. Norma Rose, joined the Colton English Club, served on the newspaper staff of the Twig and played varsity softball and varsity basketball.

Following her graduation in 1950, Martha Lou worked at the Methodist Orphanage in Raleigh and wrote copy for WPTF radio station.

More than three decades of married life took her to Las Vegas; Mt. Clemens, MI, Birchington-on-Sea, England; Ramstein, Germany; Sherman, Texas; Goldsboro, NC; Goose Bay, Labrador; Austin, TX; and Oxon Hill, MD. But the only place Martha Lou truly called home was Pendleton, where she returned in 1985 for the remaining 29 years of her life.

In this latter phase of life, she threw her energies into renovating a 19th century farmhouse, infusing its interior with vibrant splashes of color and singular furnishings. But she spent more time in her yard than in her living room, mowing the lawn, pulling up weeds, pruning trees, tending to her rose garden and only rarely sitting down to survey the fruits of her labor.

Martha Lou also served on the Northampton County Board of Elections and was a member of Roberts Chapel Baptist Church.

She is survived by son William S. Clarke III and son-in-law Douglas J. Martin of New York, NY; daughter Elizabeth S. Clarke of Washington, DC; sister Edith S. Simpson of Raleigh; sister-in-law Ann Stephenson of Henrico, NC; nieces, Martha Stephenson of Radford, Va. and Carla Robinson of Atlanta; nephews Steve Simpson of Raleigh and Russell Stephenson of Wake Forest; and former husband William S. Clarke Jr. of Raleigh.

The service will be held at Roberts Chapel Baptist Church in Pendleton Saturday at 2 p.m., followed by visitation.
