"Laid down to rest and died of heart failure an hour later--Funeral held today." "Mrs. Samuel Martin of Somerset died suddenly of heart failure Saturday evening. She had been up and around during the day as usual and in the evening laid down for a brief nap. She died about an hour later, the end coming peacefully and unexpectedly. Although she had been in feeble health for several years, she had been able to be up and about her home all of ithe time. She formerly lived alone but recently another lady had been staying with her. The deceased was well known in the southern part of the county. Born in New Jersey in 1840 she came with her husband to Wabash county, and located near Somerset in 1865. Mr. Martin died in 1875. There are no children. She was a lifelong member of the Baptist Church. The funeral services were held from the Christian Church Monday afternoon at two o'clock. Rev. Mr. Hulgen officiating. Burial was in the Somerset cemetery." Hope this might help someone. Mona in Indiana
