"The Fresno California Republican says: Mrs. Elizabeth Kirk Martin, wife of Dr. Jackson L. Martin and well known in Fresno society, died yesterday afternoon at her late home on Van Ness Avenue after an illness of a week's duration. Her death came as a distinct shock to her husband as well as to the large number of people in Fresno to whom she had endeared herself during her residence in this city. The cause of her death was internal trouble.
Mrs. Martin was born in Chillicothe, Missouri twenty-nine years ago, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Kirk of that city. There she spent her girlhood days, coming to California in 1906 to visit her sister, Mrs. Brittain, at Maryville. While there, she married Dr. Martin, the wedding ceremony occurring at the home of her sister in October of that year. Shortly after the wedding, Dr. Martin brought his bride to Fresno where she lived to the time of her death, becoming well known as a social figure in this city.
Surviving the deceased is the widower; her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Kirk of Chillicothe, Missouri; and five sisters, Mrs. M. S. Brittain of Maryville, Calif., Mrs. S. B. Cameron of Jacksonville, Ill., Mrs. Frank Shaffer, Mrs. W. E. Rawlin and Mrs. Price Davis, all of Chillicothe, Missouri.
Mrs. M. T. Brittain and little niece, Dorothy Shaffer, arrived in Chillicothe at noon Saturday. The remains of her sister, Mrs. Martin, will arrive tonight at eight o'clock. Funeral services will be conducted at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Kirk Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Dr. Martin accompanied the remains as far as Kansas City, where he was so prostrated with grief he was unable to come any further." The Chillicothe Constitution, June 4, 1910
