His parents were descendents of early Arkansas pioneer families. Herbert's father, Dr. Charles N. Martin (1854-1944) was the son of Dr. John Wilson Martin, a Virginia native who followed his brother to southeast Arkansas in 1845.
Herbert's mother was Sarah Eunice Bradley (1862-1935) granddaughter of the founder of Bradley County, Hugh Bradley (1783-1854). Herbert was raised in Warren and attended the public schools. When he attended college at Fayetteville, he majored in chemistry and a member of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity.
Before the entry of the United States into the European war, Herbert lived in Dallas, Texas, where he worked for the Western Union office and courted a local girl, Maybelle Stiener. He enlisted in Company I, 30th Engineers, United States Army, in December, 1917, and sailed for France the following March. On August 5, 1918, while standing guard duty near the town of Chery-Chartreuve, Herbert Martin was killed by an artillery shell."
