Thanks to contributor #46873454 for the following info:

Martin married Jane Goodison before 1860. They had at least six children: Henry, Jane, Olivia, Sadie, Minnie and Emma. The family lived in South Dakota after the war, before settling in Kansas.

Martin was appointed Chaplain of the 22nd Iowa Infantry on 12 December 1864, and mustered out with the regiment in Savannah on 25 July 1865. "In December 1864, the Rev. Martin Bowman of Western, Iowa was appointed chaplain, and remained until the end of the service. He was a kind hearted Christian gentleman, a pious apostle without frills, but opportunities were not great in the active service in the field. The Chaplain services were usually confined to the hospitals." (Samuel Pryce, "Vanishing Footprints: The Twenty-Second Iowa Volunteer Infantry in the Civil War" (2008)). Martin also served as Chaplain of the 44th Iowa Infantry from June to September 1864.
