Narrative:

     14,15,16 Martha J. Crawford was born on 10 Jan 1844 in Pennsylvania.4,5,6

     Martha and Nathan appeared on the 1900 Federal Census of Huntington, Huntington Co., Indiana, at 46 Williams St., enumerated 2 Jun 1900, reporting they owned their home, free of mortgage.17
     Martha and Nathan appeared on the 1910 Federal Census of Huntington, Huntington Co., Indiana, at 530 William St., enumerated 15 Apr 1910, reporting they owned their home, free of mortgage.

     Her husband died on 11 Dec 1924 in 530 William St., Huntington, Huntington Co., Indiana.20,21
     Martha moved to the Old Soldiers Home, Lafayette, Indiana, after the death of her husband.22
     A petition to appoint a guardian for Martha was filed in Huntington Co. circuit court 20 Dec 1924. It stated that she had an estate of $1,800 and an income of $30 per month from a civil war veteran widow's pension. Perhaps the pension was anticipated, as her husband had died only nine days before, and his pension records do not reflect a widow's pension ever having been applied for.23,24
