Mrs. VIM. Martin, mother of Mrs,
Roy Mills. Thomas and Minnie Mar
tin, died this afternoon at her home
on Lawrence street. Senility is pre-
sumed to have been the cause of
death as Mrs. Martin was well along
in years. She had resided in Gilpin
county more than 40 years. No ar
rangements had been made for the
funeral at the time the Observer
went to press.
