Although her father loved and provided for her, Martha Horne Tingey, as a young motherless girl, was often in unknown danger. The Lord watched over and preserved her from harm during this time.
In Their Own Words
“She was a little, motherless girl. And her father loved her devotedly and did the best he could for her. But, unknown to him, she was often in danger. He knew she was well housed and fed, and she did not tell him of the evils to which she was exposed. But the Lord watched over her and preserved her from harm. — The Young Woman's Journal 16:6”
