Yes, Clara Hunter married Howard Fruits, and had one daughter, then her daughter would be Martha Fruits not Hunter, only explanation I have for the article is that when Martha was only about four and a half when her mother died. Not guessing about her father, as to why, but Martha was in the census with her grandparents, So it looks like her grandparents raised her. Since the article was perhaps the slip of the tongue in saying they were married. Possible whomever reported in the paper, wither did not know the family well enough to put the correct maiden name. It is possible at times she used the Hunter name because she was living with James & Elizabeth Hunter. I guess I should have added a note at the bottom before posting.

Now I'm confused...I thought Martha Fruits married David B. Scott. She was the daughter of Clara Hunter and Howard Fruits, wasn't she?

Crawfordsville Journal, Monday, November 21, 1904 Miss Martha Hunter and Mr. David Scott Were Married in Danville Three Months Ago It was learned Saturday that Miss Martha Hunter and David B. Scott were husband and wife. They were quietly married in Danville last summer, the exact date being August 14. While it was known to many friends of the young people that Mr. Scott was paying Miss Hunter marked attention it was not dreamed that they were married until Saturday when Mr. Scott accidentally let it out to a friend. When asked about it Mr. Scott said that he did not deny it and then told the date and place the wedding occurred. Although the friends of Miss Hunter and Mr. Scott feel somewhat piqued that they were not let into the secret, yet all join in wishing them long life and happiness in their new relation.
