The Rochester (IN) Sentinel
Wednesday, August 27, 1890
DIED - The announcement of the death of Martin STURGEON which occurred at his residence seven miles southeast of Rochester Friday morning, created considerable surprise, as he had been in town on Wednesday.
Chronic disease had, however, preyed upon his vitals for many years and when he was stricken down Wednesday evening, the attending physician readily discovered that the fell destroyer was finishing his work and on Friday morning at an early hour dissolution came.
Martin Sturgeon was born in Ohio, January 2, 1822, and was married to Sarah A. MEREDITH in 1846. Since 1856 deceased has been identified with Fulton county, having been a resident of Aubbeenaubbee township for 30 years and lived on the county line at his last residence for more than four years. As one of the “Sturgeon boys” he was of the most influential men in the county a few years ago, and always had the respect of his neighbors, his friends, and his party. He served faithfully as a member of the Board of County Commissioners and was given divers other positions of trust by the people.
He leaves a wife and family of eleven children, nearly all of whom have reached their majority.
