General Notes: Husband - John S. Martin

Hillsville, Mahoning Twp, Lawrence Co, PA

He was fourteen years of age when his parents came to Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, and he completed his education in the schools of Hillsville. For many years following he engaged in agricultural pursuits and for fourteen years he also acted as superintendent of the George W. Johnson Limestone Company, of Hillsville. He was politically active in his section and on numerous occasions was his party's choice for public office. In 1873 he was elected constable and tax collector on the Republican ticket and served as such for nine consecutive years. In 1898 he removed to New Castle. He continued to be interested in agriculture but no longer devoted close attention to it. His home in New Castle was situated in one of the most attractive sections of the city.
He was a member of the First Baptist Church at New Castle and a member of its board of trustees.
