John M. Martin, son of William Blackstone Martin and Harriet Kalley Martin, was born December 11, 1845 died February 2, 1926, aged 80 years 1 month and 21 days. He was one of a family of 12 children: namely, Nancy; William K; Sally Ann; Eliza; Margaret; Daniel; Martha; Lovina; Mariam; Arlina and Elsa. Of this family only two survive: Lovina, widow of Luke Akers and Miriam, widow of Charles Blake. He was 16 years of age when the Civil War broke out. He enlisted when 19 years old, in Co I 149th Indiana Volunteers and served as a soldier until he was honorably discharged. On October 28, 1869, he married Elizabeth C. Blake. To them were born 6 children: Bertha Dell; Lela Edith; Jesse Blackstone; Laura May; Luther Bliss and Walter Otis. Only Bertha, Laura and Walter survive. He united with the United Brethren Church at Farmers Chapel about 40 years ago.

He was quiet, sympathetic and charitable: always ready with his means to perform a charitable act. The church has lost one of its benefactors. The Community has lost a kind, loving father. He leaves to mourn his passing, two daughters, one son; two sisters, 17 grandchildren, 9great grandchildren and many relatives and friends. Funeral services were held at Farmers Chapel Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock, Rev. MO Mumford officiating. Interment in Martin Cemetery. -- Rockville Tribune newspaper, 24 Feb 1926 edition.
