MRS. MARTIN MAYER
November 4, 1909

Mrs. Martin J. Mayer died yesterday at her home in Bennett 
Addition, after an illness of peritonitis with which she was 
seized last Friday.  Mrs. Mayer was quite well known though 
the family had only lived here two or three years, having 
assisted materially during the last two fairs, in the 
woman's department at the fair grounds.

No death in recent years has cast such a shadow of gloom 
over the community in which he was known and loved.  When 
the news of his death spread through the Big Bug and 
neighboring districts, hundreds of his friends came to 
Mayer to pay their respects.

Mr. Mayer was born in New York in 1849 and came west in 
the early '70s.  He arrived in Silver City, New Mexico in 
1877 and from there came to this territory locating at 
Globe.  Attracted by the Tip Top silver mines in this 
county he located there in 1878. He left Tip Top in 1808 
moving to the town site of Mayer, then known as the Big 
Bug Station.  As the development of the rich mining district 
surrounding it progressed, the town continued to advance, 
until it is now the most pretentious little city on the 
line of the Bradshaw Mountain Railroad.

He leaves his wife and mother, who resides in New York, 
three daughters, Mrs. R.N. Looney of this city, the 
Misses Mamie and Winnie Mayer, one son, Wilbur J. Mayer 
and two grandchildren, Joseph Mayer, Jr. and Nelson Mayer.
