Sammie Lee Martin of Benton passed away suddenly March 20, 2014. Born September 21, 1942, in Mena, he grew up in Nash, Texas.

Sam set a high standard with his work ethic and providing for his family, but his greatest legacy was living for his Savior and teaching his family to walk in those footsteps of serving God and studying His word.
