General Notes: Husband - William Martin

---

He was reared on the farm where he was born, and received his rudimentary education at the primitive subscription schools of the neighborhood, afterward attending Jefferson College, Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, several years, and then returned to the farm which he conducted with success. He taught school one term in the county. In 1873 he moved into the borough of Canonsburg to educate his children, and made his home here, in the West Ward. He and his wife were members of the United Presbyterian Church, in which he was an elder forty years. Politically he was been an influential Republican beginning at the organization of the party, but was no partisan. He served as school director for some time.
