↑ No death record has been found. The gravestone, of course, does not necessarily indicate the location of death. So far, Martha has not been located in the census after 1900, and so no hint is available about where she resided over the last 20 years of her life. It is possible she married in the interim and was buried under the name Roper with her children and their father.
