IL, April 4, 1901: "Elmer, son of William and Sarah Martin, was born near Kinderhook, Ill., March 31, 1885, and died at his home in Quincy, Ill., March 30, 1901, at 6 a.m. He had been sick for several days with lung fever, but was thought to be better. He was taken suddenly worse the day before he died, and death only released him from his intense sufferings. This family seems doubly afflicted. Last July they lost their oldest daughter and now the oldest son. They have many friends and relatives in this community who sympathize with them in this sore affliction. The remains were brought to this city Sunday morning and funeral services were conducted from the M.E. church at l:30 p.m., and burial was made in Barry cemetery."
