MARTIN, MARY - Died August 15, 1908. She was familiarly called Diana. She and
her little cousin were out ridding a horse in the afternoon which became
frightened and ran away, throwing them both off. Little Diana's head struck a
post, rupturing a blood vessel. She was not conscious after the fall and lived
only ten minutes. The other little child fell upon the wire and was badly cut.
Diana was the daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Martin, who lives on W.E. Sharp's place on
Long Ridge. She was buried at Pecan Gap cemetery. (S.S. Gazette) (Pecan Gap
cemetery is in Delta County, Texas)
