Death notice: "Departed this life at half past 2 o'clock P.M. (on the 3rd) after a short but painful illness, Capt. Isaac W. Martin, in the 38th year of his age. His friends and acquaintances are respectfully requested to attend his funeral at 9 o'clock this morning from his late dwelling in Fleet Street." - Baltimore American newspaper, Oct. 4, 1832, copied by Thomas Bishop Martin
"His death was caused from Cholera, which was contracted by his son, I. W. Martin, the second, and later given to the father in a glass of water which both had drunk. When my grandfather came home and found his son ill with cholera, it is said that he walked the floor continuously and at times was so distressed over his son's condition, that he would "pull his own hair out", unless guarded by someone, and alas, he himself caught the dreadful disease, died within a few days, while his son recovered and lived past 80 years. - Thomas Bishop Martin
