Dear Sandi,

   On a path back through time, here is a likely burial for your David Martin:

http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=10069491

There is also a death record for David's daughter:

"South Carolina Deaths, 1915-1965," database with images, FamilySearch(https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q2SK-CGZN : 21 April 2016), David Martin in entry for Annie Martin Ellington, 03 Oct 1958; citing Greenville, Greenville, South Carolina, United States, , Department of Archives and History, State Records Center, Columbia; FHL microfilm 2,183,093.

I suggest working backward through census records.  -NGP

"United States Census, 1900," database with images, FamilySearch(https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M3TG-6HF : accessed 28 November 2016), David Martin, Spartanburg city Ward 2-3, Spartanburg, South Carolina, United States; citing enumeration district (ED) 107, sheet 12B, family 253, NARA microfilm publication T623 (Washington, D.C.: National Archives and Records Administration, 1972.); FHL microfilm 1,241,542.

Not sure about this one, but a good point for further research:

"United States Census, 1880," database with images, FamilySearch(https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M6ST-8W1 : 13 July 2016), David Martin, Columbia, Richland, South Carolina, United States; citing enumeration district ED 165, sheet 298A, NARA microfilm publication T9 (Washington D.C.: National Archives and Records Administration, n.d.), roll 1238; FHL microfilm 1,255,238.
