Martha Currier

According to the 1900 census she was born in Indiana and both of her parents were born in Ohio. The census also stated that she and Edgar had been married for 21 years. So they would have married sometime around 1879. She is mentioned as being of a Pioneer family of Goshen and the area in her obituary. At the time of her death she was living at 527 South Third Street. I found the marriage info:

Name: Edgar D. Currier

Spouse Name: Mattie Bowser

Marriage Date: 29 Oct 1879

Marriage County: Elkhart

Source Title 2: Index to Marriage Record 1850-1920 Inclusive Volum

Her husband Edgar died In 1903.

On the 1910 census Martha is listed as a widow living with her son Wiliam E.

I found the Death information on Martha......Missed it the first time as the search engine didn't pick up the spelling/typo error. It appears that Martha lived long enough to see her grandson George born.

Mrs. Martha Currier, 65 years of age and a pioneer resident of Goshen and vicinity, was fatally burned last Wednesday morning at her home, 527 South Third street, when a flannel gown she was wearing became ignited while she was endeavoring to kindle a fire. In an effort to extinguish the flames Mrs. Currier ran into another part of the house and in doing this caused that part of the interior to become ablaze. However, little damage resulted from this.

Cries of Mrs. Currier brought neighbors to her assistance and a call was immediately sent for Dr. Becknell. Later Mrs. Currier was taken to Goshen hospital in an ambulance. Practically her entire body was burned to a crisp and there was little hope of recovery. A son, William Currier, resided with the victim.
