*In the month of June 1835 cases of cholera infested Greene County. The infection was brought in by a settler named Henry Fulbright from St. Louis. The first case of cholera was that of James Carter who was taken of the disease about 9 am and died at 2 pm. on the same day Cowden Martin son of Judge Martin came to town caught the infection and died that night.
*There are notes that Solomon Cotner, John Ingram and Mrs. Martin Ingram caught the desease but were saved by the "steam doctors". In about 10 days the scourge passed away. *Cowden lived in Section 24 near where the James River crosses the eastern border. Other early settlers were Samuel Martin, presiding justice of the first country court and his brother, Cowden Martin, both from North Carolina, who came in 1829, to section 24; Holcomb.
*Cowden was the first assessor of Greene County, Missouri: "On the second day (March 12, 1833) Richard C. Martin was appointed county assessor, . . . " (159) Holcombe/
Cowden had a stillhouse with two stills in which he produced whisky. He contracted cholera in Springfield and died in 1835. He was apparently well until at least late April when he signed an IOU to his brother John L. Martin for 25 gallons of whisky."In the month of June of this year, Asiatic cholera visited Greene County and occasioned great alarm and excitement. Its ravages were confined to Springfield and the immediate vicinithy; however, and though there were some deaths, the mortality was not extraordinarily large. The dread contagion was supposed to have been imported from St. Louis in goods brought in by Henry Fulbright. The first case was that of James
Carter, a blacksmith, who was taken at 9 in the morning and died at 2 in the afternoon of the same day. The day of Carter's death, Cowden Martin, a brother of Judge Samuel Martin, came to town, was attached, and died that night." (172) Holcombe."Cowden Martin, a brother of Judge Martin, came here with him, and remained until his death, in 1835." (134) Holcombe. Cowden's probate file number 009576 is located in folder number 7325 in the Greene County Archives. The file includes his inventory and details
of his debts and assets. His children are named in the records and they were made wards of Samuel Caldwell May 5, 1842. It could be that their mother remarried or died by that date. The papers for Massy and Elizabeth indicate that they were over 14 by that date. That means they
were born by 1828.. . . . .Some of the early records and histories confuse Cowden's brother and
father. The father Samuel Martin was an early judge of the county and the son Samuel G. Martin stayed in Greene County after the father moved to Ozark County so people thought all references to him were to Samuel G. . . . . .
