General Notes: Husband - John Phipps Martin
He grew up in Irwin Township, Venango County, PA, acquiring his education in the public schools of the locality. Naturally he has been familiar with agricultural work from boyhood, and during his young manhood he also engaged in mechanical work, being employed at rig building in the Bradford oil field for two years. At the time of his marriage, which took place in 1883, he settled on a farm at Barkeyville three miles from his father's homestead, remaining there until about 1902, when he traded it for the home place and returned to his early home, his parents changing their residence at the same time. Here as in his former location he has followed general farming very successfully, devoting all his attention to his own affairs, which are prospering very satisfactorily. The farm lies two miles south of Mechanicsville (Wesley post office) and with two generations of intelligent care has become a very valuable property. Like his father, Mr. Martin is a Republican in politics and supports the Church of God. [CAB, 1018]
He was born on the farm where he grew up and later owned, and was one of twelve children. He acquired his education in the public school of the locality. His political party was Republican. He was a member of the Church of God, where he was baptized by being dipped in Wolf Creek. As a young man he was engaged in mechanical work and spent two years employed as a rig builder in the Bradford oil fields.
At the time of his marriage to Elizabeth Coast, they settled on a farm between Wesley and Barkeyville, PA, three miles from his father's homestead and remained there until 1902 when he traded it for the home place. John and Elizabeth had a large family and their home had become too small. His father's home was getting too large for them as his family was getting smaller as they married and left. A trade was made with John paying extra for the larger farm. Every year John would raise an extra horse and cow and the money from their sale would go as payment on the farm until it was all paid off. The farm lay two miles south of Wesley, PA, and was later owned by Wilbur Shoup, who was married to one of John Martin's daughters. Myrta (Martin) Shoup died in 1961 and when Wilbur remarried it was the first time since David Martin settled in Venango County in 1799 that the farm was out of the Martin family.
Mr. Martin devoted all his attention to his own affairs. He had a reddish tint to his light brown hair and had hazel eyes. On his upper lip he had a mustache. Whatever he chose to do, he did with a strong will and a firm conviction that all would turn out right. Mrs. Martin (Elizabeth) had light brown hair and blue eyes. She had arthritis of the hip and knee the last fifteen years of her life.
Quotations one was likely to hear from Elizabeth and John are: If your nose itches somebody is coming with a hole in his britches; Assafetida worn around the neck in winter will keep away disease; The rooster crowing before going to bed you're sure to get up with a wet head; If the ground hog sees his shadow there will be six more weeks of winter.
As long as the Martin children were home, they all attended the Church of God in Barkeyville, PA.
