1) Martin Southworth Bible:
Births: Lydia L. Southworth Born Oct. 29. 1857
Death: originally recorded on Deathspage: Mrs. Orin Southworth Died
March 19, 1917
recorded second, different hand, on Births page: Lydia L.
Southworth died Mar. 19, 1917
Also in the Bible was a loose piece of paper upon which is written
the names of Orrin & Lydia's children, middle initials included, their
dob's and two notations:
a. "Father died January 28, 1885, 68 years 11 months and 5 days"
b. " James Converse of Oaksville was my mothers, mothers Brother."
a. could only have been written by Lydia. ibid for the
childrens' info.
For b., I need to trace the Converse family back, but I think
it was written by a different person, a grandaughter of Lydia's in
reference to Lydia having a brother James, which is whereI am placing
him for the time being.

Cause of Death: Disease of the Heart and Lungs, duration 10 or more years
Research and notes - Deborah Sweet:
1) The info on Martin, Louisa and theirchildren is taken from Madaline
Wright's hand copied Bible Records from Martin Southworth's Family Bible.
At the time (abt 1937) she was doing her research, it was located at Earl
Southworth's at Fly Creek, County of Otsego, NY.
Possible middle name: George [from Mickel's DAR application]]
2) Death Documentation:
NYS Dept of Health Death Cert. #11219; No. of corresponding Entry in
Registry Book of Deaths to be inserted by the Registrar: #187; County of
Otsego, Town of Milford, at Portlandville.
Martin Southworth, Age 71 yrs 17 days;Occupation: Cooper, Leaves a wife;
Birthplace: Otsego County, NY; Father: Oziois[sic] from Vermont [there
have been what looks like erasures/changes to the document here, and also
under 'state or country', although the original would really need to be
checked]; Mother: Demi?, Vermont [ibid]
Place of Death: Town of Milford at Portlandville [there are two small
categories which areillegible, one may be asking length of residence,
looks like it says '10 yrsor more' ]
Date and Hour of Death: 16 April 1887, at about 1 am.; Joels? Jack?
Thosna?, M.D. of Portlandville, NY, signed 4/17/1887, certifies he
attended deceased from December 1885 to April 1887, last seen 4/15/1887,
died on 4/17/1887 about 1:00 am.; Chief and determining Cause of Death:
Disease of the heart, 10 year duration, and Lungs, 6 year or more
duration, of long standing.; No burial information is given on the
document - permit, date, place, undertaker unknown. [My guess is that he
was buried by the third day, so I enteredthat as date of burial. Also
that he was probably buried in Portlandville, as his wife Louisa was
shown to have been buried there, although Cemetery nameis unknown. Her
undertaker was A. Cronk of Milford. Since she died only three years
later, it may be that it is the same one who took care of Martin.]
3) Cemetery info for Martin, Louisa and William is courtesy of Russell S.
Luce, Jr.; luceruss@mkl.com
According to Otsego Co. Genweb; taken from "EarlyHistory of the Town
of Milford and Other Parts of
Otsego Co. From 1773-1903" by Ezra Stevens; Sect.1, Chap. 1, pp. 2-52
'Portlandville had become quite prosperous, a good business and
supported three churches but no
cemetery, consequently a company was organized and the present
(written ca. 1903) Pine Grove Cemetery was established in 1861.'
