MRS. JANE MARTIN, proprietress Union House, Cascade, Iowa; born in Ireland; is widow of Andrew J. Martin, formerly of Ireland, who died in Cascade in June, 1877; Mrs. Martin and her sons, John and Thomas, have continued the management of the hotel since Mr.
Martins death. He was a Republican, and was Captain of the Home Guards during the rebellion; he had one brother in the regular army, and both had military drill while in Ireland; the Union House was and is strictly a temperance house; the managers are kind, the beds are clean, and the table substantial; it is conceded to be the best hotel in Cascade; new railroad facilities demand enlarged hotel accommodation, but, doubtless, the Union House will continue to receive its share of patronage.

Death of Mrs. Martin
"Why all this toil for triumphs of an hour? Life's a short summer, man a flower. By turns we catch the vital breath and die; ~ the cradle and the tomb, alas, so nigh."
Grim visaged Death, merciless and unrelenting stacks with a silent and majestic tread through life's broad acres, and with one mighty sweep of His scythe lays low both the young, the old, and the middle aged.
Again we are called to chronicle the death of an old and respected settler of Cascade, Mrs. Jane Martin, for the past seven or eight years the well known and efficient landlady of the Union house, who departed this life on Tuesday afternoon , at 5:30 o'clock, of a cancerous disease.
Mrs. Jane Martin is a sister to Postmaster Crawford, Sergeant Robert Crawford , of the 12th U.S. Infantry and Mrs. Robert Martin and reliet of the late Andrew Martin, deceased. She was born in the County Down, Ireland, A.D. 1828. When she was 27 years of age she came to America with her sister, Mrs. Robert Martin and brother Robert Crawford and located at Thompsonville, Connecticut, and in the following year was united in marriage to Andrew Martin, at Hartford, Conn. In 1855 she emigrated to the West and permanently located in this county, where she had resided up to the time of her death. She leaves two sons, John and Thomas. She was an intellectual and very industrious woman, a strict member of the U.P. church and a Christian lady in every respect. She had suffered long and tedious with her illness but death came to her relief and transplanted her to a happier and brighter land where dwells tranquility peace and eternal comfort
