He was born at home at 1465 Dwight Street in Holyoke. He was attending a baseball game in Brooklyn, New York with his brother, Patrick James McAlpine, Jr. when he was rushed to the hospital. He died of peritonitis after an appendix operation. He was buried in Calvary Cemetery on 23 May 1931 from Dillon Brothers Funeral Home in Holyoke, Hampden, Massachusetts with his parents, brother Patrick & siblings who died during the Cholera epidemic. He married 1st., Mary Josephine "Mary Jo" Wadsworth-Brown in May 1923 and Marriage #2 was to Emma Lou Briggs-Leopold-Knott on 24 July 1929 in Sebastian, Arkansas. He had left my grandmother, Mary, 3 days after his marriage. After his next marriage to Emma Lou (after my grandmother was dead), he left her in 1931 when he found out she was pregnant with his daughter, Pattrice Josephine "Patt" McAlpine and went to live in a hotel with another woman. He was a womanizer and the ONLY BLACK SHEEP of the family. His only intentions were to marry women, get all their money and material goods before leaving them with nothing and moving on to the next woman. He worked in his uncle, James Weatherholt Adams' (brother to his father's wife) bar/pool hall, called the Metropolitan Cafe in Sapulpa, Oklahoma and got fired for stealing cash from the register. After leaving all his women, he went to his brother's place in Brooklyn, New York. Patt was his only biological daughter. My grandmother, Mary was a strict Baptist who was forced to turn Catholic on her death bed by Martin and had my mother Baptized in Sacred Heart Church in Sapulpa, Oklahoma by Fr. Van Eych who, was also my mother's Godfather. Once Mary died, Martin took off again only to send his mother for Mary's child 6 months later (my mother) when he found out she still had land left from her original Dawes Land Allottment in the Creek Nation and had left it to my mother. This man was a disgrace to the McAlpine name.
