General Notes: Husband - Frank B. Martin


He attended the local school and grew up on the farm of his father, in Wayne township, Armstrong Co, PA. He later owned this homestead of 130 acres, as well as an­other one in Boggs township, of 100 acres. On Dec. 28, 1910, he retired from the strenuous life of a farmer, and lived in Dayton, where he was a representative of the Johnston Har­vesting Company. He sold the machinery pro­duced by this company, having eastern Ohio and western Pennsylvania as his territory. He was a trustee of the Dayton Nor­mal Institute, having been one of the organ­izers of same, and took an active part in its management. He was a stockholder in the First National Bank at Dayton. Politically he was a Republican, and served as justice of the peace of Wayne township for six years, and as a member of the Wayne township school board for eighteen years, a part of the time being either president or secretary of the board. For years he was a member of the United Presbyterian Church, and belonged to the ses­sion. Upon two occasions he was a candidate for the office of sheriff of Armstrong county, but was defeated by a small majority each time. A progressive man with advanced ideas in regard to civic responsibility, he took a deep interest in the advancement of his community.
