The Ionia Standard, Friday, July 23, 1897
Martha Hitchcock, (maiden name Hoyt) whose body was laid to rest Tuesday, was 
an old resident of this county.  Her life was nearly co-extensive with this 
century.  She was born in Windsor, Vermont, in the year 1799.  In childhood 
she removed, with her people, to Allegheny County, New York.  This remained 
her home until she came to Michigan with her husband and children in June 
1846.  In October 1859 she was left a widow.  Two of her four sons have also 
passed on before her.  Two are living, Newell S. and Edward.  The deceased 
became a member of the M. E. church in 1840, and ever since lived a righteous 
Christina life.

The funeral services were held at the home of Mrs. A. E. Face, a niece, at 2 
p.m. Tuesday, and the body was laid beside that of her husband in Orleans 
cemetery.
