General Notes: Husband - Joseph Martin
He received only the common school education of those early days, and was classed as a self-educated man, as he was a gentleman who improved his spare moments by reading and kept himself abreast of the news and current events of his time. He was a farmer, becoming early inured to the life of a tiller of the soil. In 1865 he purchased a farm in Otter Creek Township, Mercer County, Pennsylvania, and this township was his home until his death. He served his township three terms as supervisor, and was an ardent advocate of the free school system. He served on the board of school directors for twenty years, proving his honesty and integrity as a citizen. In the political arena he fully endorsed the policies of the Democratic Party. In his religious faith he adhered to Presbyterianism.
