She may have died prior to 1900 census as her youngest dau Lila b, 1875 is now living with her married sister Amanda in Sparta. Since the family appears to have always lived in Sparta, this is a reasonable assumption... also Lyman remarries in 1901

Martha married Lyman M. Newbury circa 1863 in Sparta, Monroe County, Wisconsin. (Lyman M. Newbury was born in Jan 1834 in Brooklyn, Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania.)
