Died—On Jan. 8th, 1891, at Sardis, Ohio, Rev. Wilson Martin at the age of seventy five years, two months and one day.
Deceased was born near Texas, Ohio, and never lived out of "Old Monroe," and for the last forty-eight years has been a citizen of Sardis, at which place he had served the township for many years as clerk and justice of the peace.
He came into the M. E. Church at the early age of of [sic-double word] seventeen: since that time he has been a faithful, earnest member of the church life he loved so well. A greater part of his church life he was called to the responsible position of class leader, filling of which given such general satisfaction, proves him to have been the right man in the right place. For twenty years he was a local preacher. In this part of his life he proved a very efficient and acceptable servant of God.
