Message Board Post:
As far as I can tell, she never got remarried. She died as Martha Porter and in both the
1910 and 1920 censuses she's listed as living with her daughter Nancy under the name
Martha Porter. I haven't found an actual obituary for her (aside from the unsourced
one someone has on here), but I did find two little blurbs in the Bloomfield News calling
her Patsy Porter. Everything seems to imply she was never married again. However, I
can't find her in either the 1880 or 1900 censuses, at least not as Martha/Patsy
Porter. I don't understand how someone disappears for 30 years and then simply
reappears. Anyone have any ideas?
