General Notes: Husband - James Powers Martin
Darlington Twp, Beaver Co, PA - a farmer
He received his education at Greersburg Academy, which he left at the age of sixteen, and engaged in farming. He settled on his portion of the estate purchased by his grandfather, which then amounted to 160 acres.
He was quite prominent in the political councils of the Republican party in Beaver County, having filled all of the township offices, and also having been elected sheriff of Beaver County, in which position he served from Jan. 1, 1876, until 1879, a period of three years.
The greater part of his life was devoted to farming; he was at one time connected with an oil refinery, which was built on his farm, the oil being manufactured from cannel coal.
At about seven o'clock on Christmas Eve of 1892, he was struck by an engine while walking down the railroad track, from the result of which he died the next day at one o'clock. He had just left the railway station after accompanying his daughter there, and was on his return home, when the accident occurred.
He and his wife had nine children, one was deceased before 1888. There remained five sons and three daughters.
He died in 1884. [PAH, 106]
