From Commemorative biographical record of the counties of Brown, Kewaunee and Door, Wisconsin, pg.39:
CONSTANT MARTIN, late dealer in real estate, and insurance and general collection agent, was a native of the Province of Brabant, Belgium, born May 11, 1830, a son of John and Aseline (Bosel) Martin.
Our subject was reared and educated in his native land, and followed the rest of the family to the United States. Immediately on his arrival in Philadelphia he commenced the study of the English language. In Belgium he had been engaged as clerk, but in this country he at once commenced buying and selling land, and became one of the most extensive real-estate dealers in northern Wisconsin, largely interested in town property. In 1853 Mr. Martin was united in marriage, in Philadelphia, with Miss Fannie Gillon, a native of Brussels, Belgium, by whom there were two children, viz.: Clotilde and Joseph, who both died in 1870 (as did also their mother), the girl at the age of fourteen years, the boy when two months old. In 1870 Mr. Martin was married, in Green Bay, to Mary Louisa Rosenberg, a native of Johnstown, N. Y., daughter of Peter and Louisa (Isham) Rosenberg, who came from New York State to Clinton, Wis. and from there in 1867 to Green Bay, where both died. To this second marriage of Mr. Martin were born two children, viz.: James C., engaged in the insurance business with his father, and George, deceased in infancy. In his political preferences our subject was an Independent. In 1866 he was a member of the Assembly; in 1867 he was deputy United States assessor; in 1870 he was deputy marshal for the Northern District of Wisconsin; also, same year, postmaster at Red River, and was a member and chairman of the board. For five years he was town clerk of Red River; served as a justice of the peace five years; and for two years was school superintendent for Kewaunee County. Mr. Martin was a resident of that county from 1859 to 1874, and of Green Bay from 1874 until his death, which occurred June 16, 1894. From 1885 till 1892 he was an active member of the board of education in the city of Green Bay. This family traces their ancestry to the year 1665, and originally to the City of Paris, France.
