ELVIRA MARTIN
1885 - Unknown Newspaper
Last Service Rendered By Her Husband's Comrades.

The remains of Mrs. Elvira Martin, the wife of Atwell Martin, who died at the family residence at an early hour Wednesday morning, were laid at rest in the Masonic cemetery yesterday afternoon.

The member of Farragut Post, G. A. R. to which Mr. Martin belongs, had full charge of the arrangements, and the old comrades of the bereaved husband were out in force to perform the last sad service for the dead.

Mrs. Martin was born in Moultrie County, Illinois, April 2, 1845, and has resided in this city, with her husband and a portion of the family, for the past four years. Hers was one of those sweet natures that endear themselves, seemingly without effort, to the hearts of all with whom they come in contact. A tender and affectionate wife and mother, a true and helpful friend and a fervent Christian, certainly uniting in those qualities all that is necessary for a useful life here and a happy file hereafter. Mrs. Martin's death, though ending a long term of suffering, brings sorrow to all who knew her.

F. W. Martin, the eldest son, is post master and merchant at the town of Thorp, in Kittitas County, this state. The second son, Lee R. Martin, came to Port Townsend with his parents and has held several responsible positions here. He is now engaged in farming in Leland valley.

Mrs. J. M. Tracy, the eldest daughter, was summoned to the bedside of her mother two weeks ago from her home in Boseman, Montana. She will remain here a few weeks longer. The remaining children are Herbert L. Martin of Ellensburg, Van R. Martin, of Thorp, and Robert, Charles and Hazel who live here.

Messrs. F. W. and Herbert L. Martin were sent for last Tuesday, but did not arrive in this city until yesterday on the Kingston, just in time to attend the funeral. They will remain for a few days.
