According to it, James Nettleton married Mrs. M B Grissom on 14 May 1905. This date fits with the 1910 census. It looks like Martha was married once prior to James. Not sure if the first husband passed away of if the couple divorced. If the husband died, Martha may be buried beside him. It's also quite possible she has an unmarked grave. Hope this helps. Good luck! :-)
