Markham, 83, a resident of Brunswick practically all of his life and for years a steamboat engineer, died this morning at City Hospital. He had been ill for some time. Mr. Markham was born in Camden county but he came to Brunswick to reside when a small boy. For approximately 40 years he was a chief engineer and was employed on several local passenger steamers during the time he was engaged in the steamboat business. However, he retired a number of years ago, and since that time he continued to be quite active in other work until a short time ago. He was also a boat builder, and was said to me [sic] among the best in this area in building small boats. He also was an expert in making small cast nets. Mr. Markham was well known among a great majority of Brunswick’s older residents and many others. For a number of years he had resided at 1917 Prince street. He is survived by three sons, Barney, Ronnie and Emmett Markham, all of Daytona Beach, Fla., and a step-son, Frank Thomas, of this city. Funeral arrangements will be announced later by the Miller Funeral Home. The Brunswick News; Saturday 28 May 1949; pg. 8 col. 5 FUNERAL MONDAY—Funeral services for Martin V. Markham, who died yesterday, will be held Monday morning at 10 o’clock at the graveside in Palmetto cemetery, to be conducted by the Rev. C.H. Moss of the Norwich Street Baptist Church.
