Note: Obituary

Obituary Death of Mrs. Martin, Sen. After a long and painful illness, Mrs. Martin sen., relict of the late Donald Martin, of Pinnacle Swamp, Rylstone, passed peacefully away at 6 o’clock p.m., yesterday, the primary cause of death being dropsy. For a considerable time past the old lady has, for the purpose of being near her medical adviser, resided with her daughter, Mrs. Begg, in Cudgegong-street, and it was there that death took place. For some weeks all hopes of the recovery had been abandoned, and to have so long survived under such suffering only goes to show what a wonderful constitution the deceased had. Mrs. Martin, who was 71 years of age, survived her husband by some 15 years. The old lady, by her kindly, motherly ways, especially to those in trouble, had endeared herself to everyone who had the pleasure of meeting her, and her demise will be widely regretted. A family of six, three sons and three daughters, survive their mother. These are:- Mr. P. J. Martin (Dubbo), Mr. M. Martin (present address not known), and Mr. J. Martin (Rylstone), and Mrs. A. Dowd (Carwell), Mrs. Bassett (Cowra), and Mrs. Begg (Rylstone). Another son, Mr. Alex Martin, died in Rylstone 7 months ago. The funeral is to take place at 3 p.m. this afternoon, when the remains will be buried in the Wesleyan portion of the local cemetery. To the bereaved family we tender our sympathy.

Note: DEATH OF MR. P. N. MARTIN.

DEATH OF MR. P. N. MARTIN. Over 40 years ago, in the full bloom of a vigorous manhood, Mr. Peter Nicholson Martin came to this district and settled on the land in the Beni district, and on Saturday last at the age of 68 years, he passed away in a private hospital in Dubbo from an internal complaint from which he had suffered for some time. He was a man of untiring industry, and performed the work of a pioneer landholder with the cheerfulness and the hopefulness of the men of that class who first levelled the forests of the west. He was one of the first to grow wheat in this district, and in this industry he achieved much success. Some time ago he purchased a place in New Zealand, and there his widow and two daughters (Miss E. Martin and Mrs. Wells) and one son (Mr. George Martin) reside at present. For some time Mr. Martin had been staying with his son, Mr. M. J. Martin, of Dubbo and Beni. There are two other sons, Messrs. S. and J. P. Martin, of Dubbo. The funeral took place on Monday to the Presbyterian portion of the Dubbo Cemetery and was largely attended. Deceased was a man of much charac-ter, and in his long life in this district made friends of almost everyone who came into personal touch with him. Rev. A. McCallum conducted the burial service, and Mr. E. Carrett made the funeral arrangements. The pall bearers included the three sons (Dubbo Dispatch and Wellington Independent, Friday 1 July 1921, page 4).
