Youngest daughter of Samuel and Mary Dayley Smurl. Died of Pnuemonia at Lackawanna Hospital. Possibly married to Steven Schwenk / Swank / Swonk, but no marriage license has been found and newspaper accounts imply familial hostility towards Mr. S.
2 Aug 2019 UPDATE: linked Martha to a Stephen Schwenk who moved to WB in 1908 and remarried. Appears to be the correct age, was previously living in Scranton (lost a finger in an accident there, recounted in the local newspapers) and listed as having been married before (she died (ML has 1907 not 1903)).
