The little Martin girl, twelve years old, was the center of a great deal of interest in the district court this morning. When the little girl was seven years old her mama, Mrs. John Martin, formerly Emma Reuting, was granted a divorce from her husband, John Martin. Both wanted the two children but the court gave Mr. Martin the custody of the older child while his former wife kept the younger. Mr. Martin, who is an engineer on the U.P. and resides at Laramie, placed his daughter with his sister, Mrs. Vieregg of Central City, who claims to have received $10 a month for the keeping of the child. Mr. Martin has also taken out a life insurance policy in favor of his daughter and has placed $200 at her disposal when she became of age. Mrs. Martin has been remarried twice since her first marriage, and has lived with her last husband about a year on a farm near Oxford. He is willing to support the oldest girl, providing his wife can get the custody of her child. The little girl saw her mother and little sister last night for the first time in five years. The court decided that the mother should have the custody of child until the 27th of December.
John C. Martin of Salt Lake City and former resident of Chapman, Nebraska was killed last Saturday (18 November 1911) while engaged in rail road work. He is the brother of Mrs. B.F. Turner (Elizabeth Martin). His remains were brought to Grand Island and the funeral was held Wednesday (22 November 1911) (Death Notice, Grand Island Free Press, 24 November 1911).
