General Notes: Husband - Abram Martin

---

He was born in Oakland township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, the youngest child of James and Polly Martin, and always resided in that county. He obtained his education in one of the pioneer schools, his only book being a United States spelling book. The school house was three miles away from his home, and school was kept only during the winter season. He remained with his parents until his maturity, with the exception of a short time spent at North Washington. He afterwards went to Reed's Landing, Wisconsin, where he worked as a stonemason. While there he entered a tract of land, and was compelled to go to the land office on horseback a distance of sixty miles through an unsettled country, inhabited principally by Indians and wild animals. On reaching the land office he took his place in line, about seven o'clock in the evening, and stood in line until after four o'clock the next morning, before his turn came. He had only sufficient money to pay for his land, and made the round trip in two days and one night, a distance of 120 miles. On returning he sold his claim for sufficient to clear $275, and with this amount and some more that he made while following his trade at Reed's Landing, he purchased the farm upon which he then lived in Butler County. He afterwards worked for fifty cents per day, and finally earned from five to eighteen dollars per day. He was one of the most industrious men of the township, and cleared nearly all his farm of 106 acres, upon which he erected, in 1870, one of the largest and finest barns in the county.
