The Fairfield Recorder - 24 April 1891 edition:

"Mrs. M.O. Bragg died last Saturday night at the residence of her brother, Mr. 
J.H. McIlveen, of our town, after an illness of only 2 or 3 days. She had long
been a resident of Fairfield, having come to this place from Wilcox Co., 
Alabama in 1850. She was the widow of the late Capt. Dunbar Bragg, the last 
surviving brother of General Braxton Bragg; a highly cultured educated lady 
and was a member of the Episcopal church; a good christian lady and loved by 
all who knew her. Her death is the fifth one in the family within the last 
three months, her brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Gordon of Groesbeck,
both having died recently. Her remains were interred in Fairfield cemetery, 
Sunday evening. She was 66 years old."

**J.H. McIlveen was Martha’s half brother.
