THE PROMINENT CITIZENS OF LOS ANGELES:
NADEAU, MRS. MARTHA F.
Pp 181
...was born in Concord New Hampshire, in 1820. She was the second child of Amos and Laura Frye, who had a family of eleven children; and her father still lives at the ripe old age of eighty-three. He is a pensioner of the war of 1812.

Mrs. Nadeau was married in 1844 to R. Nadeau, Esq., of Los Angeles. Seven children were born to them of whom four are now living: three married, and one (a son) still unmarried and living with her at her present residence.

Her home property consists of one hundred and sixty acres, beautifully laid out and improved, being largely planted with eucalyptus trees. She has here also a good orchard of apples pears, and peaches, also a small vineyard. There are some fine Jersey and Durham cattle on the place. A view of the residence appears in the body of this work.

THE PASSING OF A PIONEER.
Martha Flanders Frye came from Minnesota in 1868 with her daughter, Mary R Bell, and Joseph F and George A Nadeau, to join her husband Remi Nadeau in Los Angeles, California.

He came to the coast eight years before. Mrs Nadeau came of good New England stock. Hopkinton, NH, her birthplace was the birthplace of her parents, Amos Frye and Laura Straw Frye. Concerning her father "The life and times of Hopkinton" said: "During his life Amos Frye enjoyed considerable prominence. He was selectman in 1856 and '57. He was once an ensign of Militia. In his personal bearing he was a gentleman of the old school".

On her mother's side we find the name as a signer of the Declaration of Fidelity to the American cause of 1776. She was married to Remi Nadeau in Concord, NH, and before moving to California lived in Canada, Chicago and Minnesota. Seven children were born to her, four girls and three boys. Of these two sons and a daughter survived her.

When mother Nadeau arrived in Los Angeles, she joined the First Congregational church and was a member of the Vernon Congregational church, which she joined when it was organized by Rev. F. A. Field.

Though the infirmaries of years prevented her from joining the social life of the church and attending its services in the last days of her life, she sustained her interest in it. The pastors of Vernon church, which she generously aided to build, were always kindly and substantially remembered.

Her funeral was largely attended by the family and numerous friends. The services were conducted by Rev. F. A. Field, whom she knew as a boy in Minnesota.
