MISS MARTHA PIPER, AGED 90, DIED TODAY—OLD RESIDENT PASSES AWAY AT CITY 
HOSPITAL WHERE SHE HAS BEEN FOR MONTHS

Miss Martha Piper, 90 years of age for about thirty years a resident of 
Brunswick, passed away shortly before noon today at the City hospital where 
she has been since last September, following an accident, when she received a 
broken hip in a fall.

Miss Piper came to Brunswick many years ago with relatives, and for some time 
resided on a nearby island.  Later when her relatives left the city she 
remained here, going to the home of Capt. and Mrs. W.F. Symons, temporarily 
but she has remained there ever since.  For twenty-seven years she has been at 
the Symons home and was treated just like one of the family.

Several months ago, after Miss Piper suffered from her fall, an effort was 
made by Welfare Director Hardison to locate some of her relatives and he 
succeeded in finding a cousin who resided in Toronto, Canada, but he was heard 
from only once and further efforts to find some of her nearer relatives failed.

The funeral will be held this afternoon at 4:30 o’clock from the Symons 
resident in Urbana, Rev. T.W. Simpson, of the Presbyterian church, conducting 
the services.
