The Portland Review & Observer, Wednesday, August 8, 1900

Addison J. Martin (known as Jay) died at his home in Danby township on 
Saturday, August 4th, aged 50 years.  His death was caused by a complication 
of diseases, but dropsy and gangrene were the immediate causes.  On account of 
the character of the disease and it being impossible to keep the body longer, 
funeral services were held from Danby Grange hall on Sunday afternoon last by 
Rev. Ward of Eagle, and burial made in Danby cemetery.

Mr. Martin was a native of Ionia county, having been born in Orange April 
21st, 1850.  He was married to Laura J. Davenport in 1873, and she and one 
daughter, Myrtie, survive him, together with one brother, Ed, four sisters, 
and a host of friends.  He was a kind husband, indulgent father, and firm 
friend and neighbor.

When Mr. Martin’s father-in-law, the late Chester Davenport, was sick with 
gangrene, he attended him much of the time, and many think he then contracted 
the disease which resulted in his death.  Physicians say, however, that had 
this been the case the disease would have shown itself before it did; and 
while it may possibly have had something to do with it, it is not probable.
