MRS. MARTZ DEAD
Mrs. Henry Martz, Well Known Pleasant Mills Lady, Died Today
At Eight O'clock
Seventy-three Years of Age -- Funeral Will Be Monday Afternoon.
Catherine Laughrey McMillen Martz, wife of Henry Martz of Pleasant Mills, a well known
lady of that town, passed away this morning at 8 o'clock at the family home, from
heart trouble and complications. Mrs. Martz became seriously ill last Wednesday morning
at 8 o'clock and her condition rapidly became very critical. She was seventy-three
years, seven months and two days old.
She was born in Licking county, Ohio, September 14, 1840, and was the daughter of
George and Rachel Laughrey. She was married in young womanhood to Isaac Newton McMillen,
who is now deceased.
Two children of that union are living. They are Asa McMillen of Pleasant Mills and
Orpha, wife of D. B. Erwin, of this city. There are seven grandchildren -- Brice, Glen
and Gladys McMillen, and Ireta, Mary, Doris and Betty Erwin.
She was married to her second husband thirty-one years ago, he surviving (sic). There
were no children from this union. One sister, Mrs. George Houser, of Huntingdon, remains
of her parental family.
The funeral will be held Monday afternoon at two o'clock from the Methodist church in
Pleasant Mills. The Rev. H. C. Powell of New Haven will officiate.
