General Notes: Husband - Dr. William Cowan Edmiston Martin

---

He was fourth in a family of seven children.
His early life was spent on his father's farm in Crawford County, Pennsylvania, where he received the usual advan­tages that country schools afforded. In his fifteenth year he became a student of Mosiertown Academy, where he spent one year, the two succeeding years being passed in Kirtland Institute, then located in West Chester, Ohio. Upon the close of his academic course, he taught school one term near Green­ville, and in the spring of 1851 he entered the office of Dr. F. H. Judd, of that town, as a student of medicine. After a year's preparatory study he attended lectures in the Eclectic Medical College, Cincinnati, Ohio, and gradu­ated in the spring of 1854. He soon afterward purchased the residence, office and drugs of his preceptor, Dr. Judd, and located in Greenville, Mercer County, Pennsylvania, as a practicing physician. He was a Republican in politics, and in October, 1862, joined Company A, One Hun­dred and Sixty-ninth Regiment, and served nine months. Soon after com­mencing practice he united with the Associate Presbyterian Church, and remained a faithful and practical member of the United Presbyterian denomination until he passed to his eternal reward.
