Hi Shirley.
I checked the LA Death Index (1900-1949) for you, and I think this is your Martha:
Name: Martha D Davenport
Death Date: 11 Jun 1943
Age: 92 Years
Gender: F Race: White or Mexican
Parish: St. Tammany
Volume: 50 Certificate: 90048
Title: Louisiana Statewide Death Indices 1940-1944
You can order her death certificate from the LA Secretary of State's office. This may give her birthdate and the names of her parents, to the best knowledge of the informant.
I checked the censuses, and I believe this is your family:
