Daily Nevada State Journal March 28, 1889 Death of Martin Barron Yesterday morning at half-past seven o’clock, Martin Barron, the well-known proprietor of the City Hotel in this city, breathed his last, having succumbed to the dread destroyer, consumption. He was a native of County Kilkenny, Ireland, and aged about 40 years. Leaving only a wife and sister, the latter the wife of Mr. Thomas Welch. Deceased resided for many years in Wadsworth whence he migrated to Arizona, but finally located in Reno, last May, when he purchased the City Hotel property. The insidious disease which carried him away developed itself from catarrh only about a year ago. For a month past he has been in Sacramento, hoping to improve, but returned on Tuesday’s train, only to gradually sink and pass away in the bosom of his family. He was possessed of genial disposition, and had many friends. The funeral will take place to-morrow afternoon at 2 o’clock from the St. Theresa Catholic Church.
