MATTHIAS MARTIN
[People’s Press, 25 July 1905]
Many friends will learn with deep regret of the death of Matthias Martin of South Pelham, which occurred at his residence on Saturday evening. Although Mr. Martin had suffered a slight stroke some years ago, he had entirely recovred from it and was in good health, eating his supper when the summons came with startling suddenness in the shape of a stroke of apoplexy, rendering him unconscious, death ensuing three hours later.
Mr. Martin was born in Clinton township, but for the past thirty years had been a resident of Pelham, living on the farm on which he died.
A widow (daughter of late John Hipple of Clinton) survives, also one daughter and four sons, Viz: Sarah (Mrs. Fred Fisher jr.); William and John of Niagara Falls and Elmer and Edgar at home. The eldest daughter Valeria, predeceased her father.
Deceased was a quiet, useful, unobtrusive, conscientious member of the community, who enjoyed the respect and good will of all who knew him and the deep affection of those nearly related, who have the heartfelt sympathy of a wide circle of friends in their great and sudden bereavement.
The funeral will be held today (Tuesday); services at the house at 2 o’clock; interment at Fonthill cemetery, Rev. Mr. Clemens of Pelham Centre will conduct the services.
