Stricken with cerebral hemorrhage as she was dancing at the P.K. german at

daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George G. Martin, 404 Raleigh avenue, died at the 
University hospital early yesterday morning without regaining consciousness.  
Miss Martin was the niece of Alvah H. Martin, Republican national 
committeeman for Virginia.  Until about a year ago she resided in Berkley.  
She was educated in Atlanta and Washington seminaries and was 27 years of 
age.
Miss Martin arrived in Charlottesville Friday morning from Lynchburg, where 
she had been visiting. She fainted as she was dancing the first figure of 
the german and would have fallen to the floor, but for aid rendered by other 
dancers.  She was taken to the University hospital, but did not regain 
consciousness.  Death was pronounced due to cerebral hemorrhage.  She had 
recently recovered from a recent attack of scarlet fever.
Her parents were notified as soon as she was stricken and they started for 
Charlottesville before she died.  They were intercepted at Richmond and told 
that the body was on its way to Norfolk and will arrive this morning at 7:30 
o'clock.  Funeral arrangements have not been completed.
