Mrs. MARTIN had been ill since last November and was in the hospital for several months, being treated for heart trouble which was the final cause of her death.

Mrs. MARTIN is survived by her husband and three children, Gilbert 10, Howard 9, and Gladys 6. Her mother and two brothers are living in New York City.

Della Hoag MARTIN was born in New York City in 1893. She was married to Henry MARTIN February 18, 1920, in New York City. They came to Routt county soon after the wedding and have since made their home on their ranch near Milner. They had been friends since she was 15 years of age and had help up a correspondence until their marriage. Mr. MARTIN had been located in Routt county and went to New York to bring his bride back with him.

Mrs. MARTIN had an unusual experience as being one of the survivors of the Titanic shipwreck. She had been on a visit to Germany and was returning to her home in New York City. She was always loath to speak of the tragedy.

In the passing of Mrs. MARTIN, a family is bereft of a devoted and loving mother and wife, a real homemaker. Her life was wrapped up in her home and children. While she was in the hospital her thoughts were continually with her loved ones. Within a few minutes of her death, she had been planning what she would do when she returned to her home. While her children will know her presence no longer, her influence will live with them and be a loving memory.
