OBITUARY
Martin V. Updegraff, M.D., son of Martin and Pauline Updegraff, now Mrs. Colescott, was born February 11, 1842 and died at Waldron, of paralysis of the heart, February 25, 1880. He was married to Miss Adalaide Miller, of New Albany, September 27, 1866. They had two children, both of whom died when quite young. He began the study of medicine with Dr. Kennedy, of Shelbyville, about 1860.
In 1862 he entered the United States Navy and served about three years as assistant surgeon. After leaving the naval service he completed his medical education, graduating at the Ohio Medical College in 1865. He then located at Waldron, where, with the exception of a short time, he continued the practice of his profession until his death. As a surgeon he was considered very superior, and as a physician was eminently successful.
His kindness of heart and generous disposition won him the confidence and esteem of his patients, as well as all acquaintances. He loved his profession, and studied to keep himself well posted in the advance it was making. He will be greatly missed in the community where he so long resided, as well as by those who were bound to him by the closer ties of the home circle.
The funeral services were conducted on February 26, from the M.E. Church at Waldron, by Rev. J.C. Gullett, and the remains were interred in the cemetery at Shelbyville. [Buried City Cemetery]
