From the Manchester Press, Jan. 28, 1887

Mrs. Martin Mllett died at the home of her son, Rufus, Saturday, after six days of illness, of pneumonia. She was nearly seventy years old, and with her husband was among the earliest settlers here, coming in 1854. They took up a farm in Richland township, on which she has resided ever since. Eight years ago her husband died. She was the mother of five children, three boys and two girls, who are left to mourn her loss. She was a woman of energy and was truly a help-meet to her husband. She lived to see this country change from a wilderness to beautiful farms and pleasant homes. But her share in this great work is done, she has gone to her reward. She was a woman who attended to her own home duties most, and there she will be sadly missed. The funeral was held at the Campton church, Monday, the Rev. Hestwood officiating. The large church was filled, nearly the entire comunity being present.
