Thomas F. Martin Passes To The Beyond
After an illness of several months, Thomas F. Martin died at his home in this city, Nov. 18, 1918, at 5:30 a.m., aged 71 years and 8 days.
Thomas Franklin Martin was born on a farm near Somerton, Ohio, Nov. 10, 1847. His early life was passed in the eastern states and in 1897 he came to Blair since which times he has made this his home. He was married October 17, 1912, to Miss Anna Cook, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joe S. Cook, and one of the successful teachers in the city schools, and they established a home here which was one of the most happy, congenial places for friends together in this vicinity, and where true hospitality was always extended. He assumed the management of the Blair Canning Company a number of years ago, and during the past season worked early and late in spite of his failing health. In company with Mrs. Martin he attended the Epworth Assembly at Lincoln in the late summer and when he returned was suffering from the effects of a bad cold. After the canning season was over Mr. and Mrs. Martin went to Excelsior Springs in the hopes of restoring his health, but the trip was unavailing and he was confined to his room from that time, coming up town only once afterwards, on election day as he was anxious to vote. He also visited a barber shop and then returned home, making both trips in a closed car. He at once began to decline until death came to him as above stated.
He was for many years a member of the Methodist church, and during his residence in Blair has been almost constantly an official member of the local church, and an active worker in the Sunday school, Epworth League, and in all branches of the church. He was also a member of Garfield Lodge No. 6, Knights of Pythias, of Blair and for many years Chancellor Commander which office he held at the time of his death.
Burial took place from the home on Wednesday afternoon, Rev. W. H. Underwood having charge of the services and he was laid to rest in the cemetery at Blair. Besides the wife there are surviving him his brother, S. F. Martin, of this city, and two half-brothers, W. E. Martin, who resides at the old home near Somerton, Ohio, and O. S. Martin, of Dallas, Texas, and a half-sister, Mrs. Mollie L. Fitch, of Barnesville, Ohio.
