IN AN INTERVIEW WITH JOHN MARTIN, HE STATED THAT HIS MOTHER BORE ANOTHER
CHILD THAT DIED RIGHT AFTER BIRTH.  SHE TOOK THE CHILD TO THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
FOR BURIAL.  THE PRIEST WOULD'T ALLOW THE BABY TO BE BURIED ON THE "HOLY GROUND
OF THE CHURCH" BECAUSE IT WASN'T BAPTISED BEFORE DEATH, THUS WAS A SINNER.  THIS
LED MARY (CORCORAN) MARTIN TO LEAVE THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, NEVER TO RETURN.  THE
BABY WAS BURIED AT THE LOCAL METHODIST CHURCH.
