BATT, Martha Laura (Schmitt) – born 09/13/1907, Elko, NV; died 03/11/2004
Martha Laura Batt passed away from cancer at the Highland Manor on March 11,
2004. Martha Batt was born in the Elko Hospital on Sept. 13, 1907, to Francesca
and Anton Schmitt. She was raised in Carlin, Nev., and lived her entire life
there. Her parents owned and operated the Elwood Hotel from the early '20s until
their death in 1933, when Martha took it over and ran it until 1953. The tenants
of the hotel were railroad men from Ogden, Utah, and Sparks, Nev. They became
like family and any that had the misfortune of being away from home on
Thanksgiving or Christmas were always welcome to have dinner at our house.
Martha went to school in Carlin, beginning in what used to be the Carlin Senior
Center building. One of her lifelong friends from the first grade is Dr. T.C.
Harper of Reno. Martha graduated from Elko High School in 1925 because the
Carlin High School was not accredited until later. She lived in a dormitory on
the Elko High School campus during the week. Martha married Franklin Earl Batt
of Elko, and they lived in Carlin and raised two daughters, Frances Mae and
Donna Delores. Martha was preceded in death by her parents; her daughter, Donna,

James, Drucilla and Donna; and eight great-grandchildren, all of whom live in
southern California. Martha was a Rebeckah, a member of the Carlin Riding Club
and a Carlin Senior Citizen. She liked to crochet and there are many
organizations that had her afghans donated as raffle prizes. She also loved to
play cards and was always on hand for a pinochle game or more recently, Hand and
Foot. She taught all of her grandchildren to play Steal the Pile and later the
great-grandchildren too. There will be no services per her request, however,
anyone wishing to make a memorial donation in her memory may do so to the Carlin
Open Door Senior Center, P.O. Box 123, Carlin, NV 89822.
