  Findagrave.com: findagrave.com/memorial/81423880/martha-alice-willis Martha Alice Forsyth was born May 11, 1863 Sugar Creek, Benton County, AR to Mark Martin and Nancy Burnett Forsyth. As a young girl, Martha Alice Forsyth was called Alice by her parents and siblings and throughout her life was known simply as "Alice". Alice's early life was filled with many tragic events. One of which occurred in 1865 when as a 2 year old child she contracted the dreaded typhoid fever. Alice's paternal grandfather William Barnett "Barney" Forsyth was summoned to her bedside and there "Barney" administered several types of medication. Alice's grandfather, "Barney" Forsyth was a self educated farmer and physician and during the great Civil War although aged, was called upon to administer medication to many confederate troops in Benton County, Arkansas. After contracting Typhoid fever, little Alice Forsyth lay near death for several days, however vowing to save his little granddaugher "Barney" refused to leave her bedside and continually administered medication in hopes of saving her life. During the ensuing days, in spite of "Barney's" knowledge of medicine, little Alice's condition further worsened and her family, then fearing she would surely die, began making plans for her impending death. During this era, Alice's grandfather continually administered medication and herbs to little Alice and after approximately 10 days her condition improved slightly. After 3 weeks the fever disappeared and she was considered healed. Little Alice's recovery was considered a miracle. In 1865 Alice's father Mark Martin Forsyth was murdered. At the age of 16 years on 11 September 1879 in the Ladoinia Township in Fannin County, Texas. Martha Alice Forsyth married 20 year old Sumner Abraham "Sum" Bridge, they had 2 daughters, Mary Elizabeth Marnie Bridge (1881-1970) and Moni Mary Alice Tad Bridge (1884-1981). Alice and Summer divorced Aug 22, 1890. Alice married Asa J Willis Sep 4, 1890 in McKinney, TX.
