- The following notes from World Family Tree Vol. 85, tree 746:
The following is a clipping from the newspaper about Martha.
"Funeral Service of Mrs. Martha Jane Holden.
The remains of Mrs. Martha Jane Holden, a former resident of Deer Isle, were brought to Mansfield, Mass., the place she so dearly loved. The final summons came as the result of accidental burns she received at her summer home on Saturday night, October 25. Funeral services were held Friday afternoon, October 31, at 2.30 o'clock. Rev. Gove of the Congregational church of Mansfield officiating.
The choir sang 'Sometime We'll Understand,' 'Some Sweet Day' and 'In the Garden'.
There were many friends and relatives present and many beautiful floral pieces were received, among them from Elmer Lord & Co., Boston, Mrs. Sidney Treat of Malden, Dr. and Mrs. Walsh of Dorchester, the Evans family of Winthrop, Mrs. Ada Howard of Auburndale, and the Women's Guild of Arlington, Mass.
She leaves besides her husband, two daughters, Mrs. Roland L. Barber of Arlington, and Mrs Albert French of Boston, a son, Charles, of Australia, and six grandchildren. Interment took place in the Cedar Grove Cemetery, Marshfield. Her many friends, who loved her dearly, will mourn this sudden and sad ending."
I have contacted the town of Marshfield and had the following information back.
Martha Jane Holden is buried there in the Cedar Grove Cemetery. This is the largest cemetery in the town, and is located beside the Congregational Church.
The head stone reads "Mother" 1866-1924 (note the birthdate difference).
She is buried beside Rowlie L. Barber 1876-1924. This is Auntie Lou's husband.
