- Obit: Gospel Herald, February 1918:
"Phoebe (Naffsinger) Martin was born near Washington, Ill., Feb. 3, 1852. Died of leakage of the heart, near Garden City, Mo., at the home of her daughter, Sister E.G. Kanagy on Jan. 10, 1918; aged 65y. 11m. 7d. April 3, 1870, she was united in marriage to Christian Martin in Tazewell Co., Ill. To this union were born 2 sons and 5 daughters. In the spring of 1875 they left Tazewell Co. and moved to Cass Co., MO., near Garden City. Her husband died at this place Aug. 16, 1907, also two twin daughters (Ida and Phoebe) preceded him. Three daughters and two sons survive to mourn their loss, also 26 grandchildren, two sisters, and one brother amid many other relatives and friends. All but one of the children (Benjamin, of Minot, N.D.) reside in this community and were at the mother's bedside during sickness and death. Sister Martin united with the Amish Mennonite Church early in her youth and remained faithful until death. In her last hours she requested the reading of God's Word and said all was well should the end come. It was always her joy to attend church services, was always cheerful, and ready to lend a helping hand to all. She expressed her willingness to depart or remain - just as the Lord will. Text, (by I.G. Hartzler) Jno. 14:2. Interment in the Clearfork Cemetery."
