Mrs. Martha Grant died at Emmetsburg on the morning of January 7, 1895, at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. P.H. Stedman. This aged and honored lady who had made her home in Estherville for several years past, went to Emmetsburg a few weeks ago to make her daughter a visit. On the Friday preceding New Years she was taken with what seemed a bad cold which later took on the form of typhoid malaria from which she died this week at the age of sixty-eight. Two daughters, Mrs. E.S. Wells and Mrs. Chas. Perry reside in Estherville. (Northern Vindicator, Estherville, IA, January 10, 1895)

Mrs. Martha Grant, of Estherville, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. P.H. Stedman, in this city, on Monday, January 7, aged 68 years. She was a resident of Estherville for over twenty years. She came here to spend the holidays with her daughter and took sick soon after coming. The funeral services were held at the resident yesterday afternoon and were conducted by Rev. Case.
