Martin, Harvey C.
Harvey C. Martin, faithful gospel preacher, departed this life at Methodist Hospital in Memphis, Tenn., Feb. 18, 1983 at the age of 61 years. The funeral was conducted by Frank D. Young and A. J. Kerr on Feb. 21 at Knight Arnold Church of Christ. Brother Martin was born Aug. 4, 1921 at Georgetown, Ill. He was baptized by Dan Mathis, Oct. 1936. He attended Freed-Hardeman College in 1939 and 1941. He began preaching full time in Georgetown in 1940. He also served churches in Dardanelle, Ark.; Greenwood, Miss., and Hollywood in Memphis. At the time of his death he was engaged in business, but continued to preach, having worked the past 16 years at Jackson Grove church of Christ, Enid, Miss. He also served faithfully as a deacon at Knight Arnold church in Memphis. Brother Martin was married to Myra Lajuan Whitaker, one daughter of E. L. Whitaker, Sr., gospel preacher. They have three children, Faye Martin Bond, Duane and Daryl Martin. In addition to these he is survived by two sisters, Maxine Luster and Wilma Powers and four grandchildren. He encouraged and assisted younger men to prepare to preach the gospel. It was not unusual for him to attach an envelope containing money to the bulletin board with the name of a needy student preacher written on it, at the Memphis School of Preaching. Despite the fact that brother Martin suffered pain daily for 35 years, as result of injury in an automobile wreck, he was never deterred from any good work and continued active until his rather sudden and untimely death. No doubt, as he passed angels came and ministered to him as they did for Lazarus long ago, and he has now joined the patriarchs and apostles and the host of redeemed souls, gone on into Paradise. The world has been made a better place in which to live because of the life and labors of Harvey C. Martin. "Servant of God well done, thy glorious warfare is past; the battle is fought, the race is won, and thou are crowned at last." --E. L. Whitaker. Gospel Advocate, April 7, 1983, page 214.
