MRS. DORA MARTIN
August 8, 1897
Arizona Republican Newspaper

Word reached here Monday morning that MRs. Dora Martin, wife of 
Theodore Martin, of Williams, had suicided by shooting herself 
in the head.  A few minutes before her death she was playing 
in the yard with her 4 year old boy and went in and sat down 
with her husband at the supper table.  After remaining there a 
few minutes, she got up and went into another room, picked up a 
revolver and shot herself through the head. No cause can be 
attributed why the unfortunate woman should commit such an act. 
She had her trunk packed and was aiming to start Monday morning 
on a visit to friends in the east.  She was highly respected and 
well liked by all. She leaves a husband and a little boy 4 years 
old to murn her untimely death.
