She was a much loved little girl who died in her father's arms the day after her third birthday. She had contracted diphtheria and her family simply had no means to help her. They had recently lost their home to a fire and were living in their barn.

Her parents adored her and her mother (my grandmother) still mourns her loss. Martha was my Mom's oldest sister (though my Mom was born 15 years after Martha died). I was named in remembrance of her.

My Grandmother is almost 104 years old and reminds me to wear my name proudly every time she sees me.

(My Grandma went to Heaven shortly after her 104th birthday. She's been reunited with her family and her sweet baby Martha)
