JOHN M. MARTIN.

[Brookhaven Democrat]

We are grieved to chronicle the death of this young man, who, on last Thursday morning peacefully yielded to the malady which had so long confined him to a bed of pain and suffering. All that a mother's fond and anxious love, a father's patient and skillful attention, medical aid, and change of climate could do, was done; and, so carefully was the sick guarded, that, only a few days ago, even on the evening before his death, it was gladly whispered around that prayers, love, and science would conquer; and just when hope was brightest, he silently passed away - so quietly and quickly that the terrible truth could not be realized. The deceased was a young man of high social standing, and of many noble qualities. Those who knew him best can and do certify to his excellent moral worth, and can justly estimate the loss sustained by his sad death. The remains, accompanied by a large concourse of friends and acquaintances, were carried yesterday morning to their last resting place in the city cemetery. The following gentlemen, members of the L.O.T.F., of which organization the deceased was an active member, were pall bearers: Messrs. J.H. Willoughby, J.W. McGrath, A. Lewenthal, Jr., C.D. Benedict, W.R. Spencer, and M.D. McGrath.
