General Notes: Husband - John White Martin

---

He was reared on the home farm, and early decided upon the study of medicine. In 1849 he was graduated from Washington and Jefferson College and shortly afterward began the reading of medical works under Dr. John Wishart and then attended medical lectures in the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania and was graduated there-from in the class of 1853. He returned to Washington County, Pennsylvania, and engaged in practice at Canonsburg until 1858, when he entered into the dry goods business. For a number of years he remained alone and built up a large business until his younger sons were prepared to be taken into partnership. The firm was then made up of John White Martin, John C. Martin and Ralph Martin, the firm style being J. W. Martin & Sons.
