Martha did not join Will in Hawaii, choosing to travel to the Klondike with her brother in 1898.In 1898 she crossed the Chilkoot Pass into Canada, heading for the gold rush in the Klondike. She gave birth to her and Will's third son, Lyman, in January 1899 in Dawson City.Martha returned home to Chicago, and returned again to the Klondike in 1900.
