Mrs. Lydia Martin, aged eighty four years, died last night at her home on Lafayette Avenue. The funeral occurs tomorrow at 10 a.m., conducted by Rev. J. B. Swank, of Elmdale.
Mrs. Martin was the relict of Joseph Martin, who she survived by thirty seven years. She was born in Butler County, Ohio, but had lived in this county for fifty one years prior to her death. She was a devout Christian and her long and useful life stands as a bright example. The deceased was the mother of twelve children, seven of whom are deceased. The remaining five are residents of this city: J. M. A. Martin, M. E. Gardner, W. K. Martin, B. H. Martin, and V. I. Martin. -s
