General Notes: Husband - Samuel Martin
He was born in York County, Pennsylvania, and received his education at the subscription schools of his locality during a few weeks in winter time, the remainder of the year being devoted to learning the practical lessons of agricultural pursuits. On the death of his father he came into possession of the homestead in North Strabane township, Washington County. After his marriage he made a final settlement on the old farm in North Strabane township, carrying on general farming till the time of his retirement to Canonsburg. [The land was originally patented by the Government to one James McCready, from whom it was afterward purchased by the Martin family] Oil was found on the old homestead farm in 1887, and at least nine wells were sunk on it. All were producers; two when the oil gave out were sunk deeper and made gas wells; these were piped to Pittsburgh by Jones & Laughlin.
He was an active member of the Chartiers United Presbyterian Church.
