We have very little detailed information on his early life in Russia. He was united in marriage to Katherina Elizabeth Lehl about 1865 or 1866. To this marriage were born four boys and three girls. Martin died at the early age of 42 years. Leaving to mourn his early death were his widow and seven children ranging in age from one to sixteen years.
