Mr. Don Martin , 81, of Charlotte died Wednesday, March 31, 1999, at the Harris Hospice Unit of Presbyterian Hospital. Mr. Martin was born in Malvern, Iowa, the son of the late Otis R. and Eva Griffey Martin . As a child, Don moved to Kansas City, Missouri, where he was educated.

In 1945, he moved to Charlotte and joined Tom Franklin Studio, which served as the photographic staff of The Charlotte News, then, the city's afternoon newspaper. As senior photographer of The Charlotte News, his career extended from the days of the cumbersome Speed Graphic, flash bulbs, and tripods to the 35mm cameras of the present.

The family wishes to thank Dr. James Boyd, his staff and the staff of Harris Hospice for their care and kindness.
