Martin. - Ezra W., son of the late Samuel W. and Leah B. Martin, was born near Weaverland, Pa., July 1, 1863; peacefully fell asleep at the General Hospital, Lancaster, Pa., after a four-day illness of pneumonia, Jan. 2, 1946; aged 82 y. 6 m. 1 d.
On Nov. 11, 1883, he was united in marriage to Mary M. Weaver, who preceded him in death. To this union five sons were born: Francis, Weaver, Harvey, Noah, and an infant. Of this union only one son (Weaver) survives. On Sept. 8, 1892, he was married to Emma R. Good, who passed away Feb. 15, 1934. To this union five children were born: William, Elmer, Paul, Elizabeth Mae, and Gertrude (who died in infancy). The past several years he resided with his son
Weaver, near Lancaster.
In early life he united with the Mennonite Church and
remained a devoted and consistent member. He spent much time reading the Word of God, in which he found much consolation. Throughout life he experienced many trials, but they only seemed to strengthen his faith in God. He was a kind, loving, patient father, ever ready to give constructive counsel. Knowing that his days were few, he frequently spoke of leaving us for the better world.
Surviving are 4 sons, one daughter, 19 grandchildren, and 4 great-grandchildren. Funeral services were held Jan. 6, at the home of his son Weaver and at the Mellinger Church, in charge of David Landis and Harry Lefever. Text, I Pet. 1:3,4. Interment was made in the adjoining cemetery.
