Crawfordsville Journal Review 14-Apr-1962 4- Ransom Martin Found Dead In Backyard Well- WAYNETOWN- A farmer who had lived in the Waynetown area for over 50 years, drowned Friday night when he jumped into the well on his farm. Ransom Laymon Martin, 74, was pronounced dead about 10 p.m. by Fountain County Coroner Ralph Nelson. According to Fountain County Sherriff George Cruea, Martin took his own life. A note naming pallbearers for his funeral was found on the kitchen table of the farmhouse where Martin lived. “You’ll find me in the well,” the note said. Martin had taken off his clothes and left them on the kitchen floor, the sheriff said. He then apparently went into the backyard, removed the well cover and jumped in. Richard Kirts, a tenant farmer on Martin’s land, had taken some milk to the 74-year-old man about 8:30 p.m. Kirts told investigating officers that he became suspicious of the way Martin was acting. He returned to the farm an hour later, found the note on the kitchen table and called the sheriff. The Hillsboro fire department was called to the scene and pumped the water out of the well. Martin’s body, clad in underwear, was found at the bottom. Martin was born in July of 1887 in Clinton and his parents were Vonley and Margaret Myler Martin. He was a member of the Alamo Christian Church. He is survived by a sister, Mrs. Anna Cole of Kokomo, and several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents; two brothers, James and Charles Martin, and a sister, Mrs. Addie White. Funeral services will be at 2 p.m. Monday in the Servies Funeral Home in Waynetown with Rev. John R. Servies officiating. Burial will be in Wolf Creek Cemetery.

The family never left the area living in the Whitesville area, New Market, Crawfordsville and Waynetown areas of the county.

Crawfordsville Journal, Friday, August, 30, 1901 Death of Miss Marie Larsh Miss Marie Larsh, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Larsh, died at the family home in Indianapolis last night at twelve o'clock. Miss Marie, with her sister, Miss Dora, had been in Chicago for the past two years studying art and music. About ten weeks ago she became slightly ill and went to her parents in Indianapolis, expecting to take a short vacation. She did not improve, however, and the doctors stated that she had walking typhoid fever. She did not take to her bed, however, until a few days ago when the complication of pneumonia set in. She grew worse and it became certain that the case was a very serious one. Still she was so strong that it was thought she would recover and hope was not given up until a very few hours before her death. Miss Larsh was born in this county twenty-two years ago and lived in Crawfordsville until she went to Chicago to study. A very pretty girl she was possessed a brilliant mind and a charming and engaging manner that endeared her to all with whom she came in contact. She was a musician and an artist of rare ability, and during her studies in Chicago her work had been highly praised by the best teachers in the country. That this bright and happy girl with the promise of so successful and useful a future before her should die is one of those peculiar dispensations of Providence that none can understand. Her parents and sister are simply crushed by this sad bereavement that has come upon them. Mr. Larsh was here this morning arranging for the interment which will take place at Oak Hill tomorrow.

Oh, yes -- it downloaded, and with it memories of a truly horrible time. I was teaching at Shortridge in Indianapolis, and all day, every few minutes, the intercom speaker would interrupt: "Anyone knowing the whereabouts of..." "Anyone with any information about..." Each announcement made every one of us freeze -- "Not someone I know, please!" Every class had empty chairs, for one reason or another. All of us knew someone who had been there. Many others had tickets for the later nights of this popular show; my aunt and uncle would have been in the section which blew if it had happened just one night later. The whole of central Indiana suffered when this iconic building, the centerpiece of the State Fairgrounds, suddenly became a place of death for people we knew. No one talked of anything else; no one could think of anything else. The dreadful details we heard replay themselves, even now, nearly 50 years later. My father-in-law, an Episcopal priest, was a patient in Methodist Hospital, having suffered a heart attack a few days before. The lights flashing and the sirens -- more than the usual evening noise -- woke him. He found out what had happened to cause the lights and commotion by bullying the student nurse who had been left in charge as all medical staff departed for the ER and the corridors filled with patients for triage. Father L dressed himself in his clerical collar, and took the elevator to the lowest level. He was a staff chaplain, knew the hospital well and was known to many there, so it was only a few hours before someone who knew him, and knew he was a seriously ill patient, chased him back upstairs. We've always felt that he was perfectly safe that night, doing God's work in the ER with families and shocked people. By the end of November he was back at work at Trinity Episcopal Church on Meridian Street, and retired from Trinity years later. The Reverend G. Ernest Lynch died in Farmington, Maine on November 28, 2000. OK, there's no Montgomery County connection for what I have written. Blame Angie! She stirred it all up!

And people from many other towns. As you said, "the whole of Central Indiana." It was on the Montgomery County Mail site where I saw this mentioned. Anyway, people from Logansport, my home town, had been there, too. Something you never forget. When I read that one...of many...Pharos-Tribune obits, it was just as I remember it, down to the people thinking that the flying bodies were part of the show. Thanks for sharing your recollections, too. Angie On Jan 26, 2011, at 7:55 AM, Kathleen lynch wrote: > > Oh, yes -- it downloaded, and with it memories of a truly horrible time.
