Jerome Martin, now living retired at Wakarusa is one of the surviving veterans of the Union army during the Civil war, and few soldiers had a longer or more active service with an Indiana regiment during that struggle between the North and South.
His home has been in Elkhart County upwards of seventy years, and his life has been a busy and useful one. He was born on a farm near Thompsontown in Juniata County, Pennsylvania, February 3, 1842.
His grandparents were Christian and Hannah (Graybiill) ] Martin, who were farming people of Pennsylvania and lived to a good old age.
Christian Martin, father of Jerome, was born in Pennsylvania in 1813, learned the trade of carpenter and followed that occupation in his native state until 1848. Then accompanied by his wife and four children he started west, with a wagon and team of horses. Between Pennsylvania and Elkhart County they crossed but one line of railroad. By the slow overland route it required several weeks to make the trip, and arriving in Elkhart County they lived a year in Harrison township and next bought a tract of land in Olive Township. This was a frontier community at the time, and the site of the present City of Wakarusa was a wilderness.
Christian Martin built a cabin of round logs, and with his own hands rived the boards to cover the roof. The stick and mud chimney stood at one end, and furnished the fireplace at which meals for the family were cooked. In course of time Christian Martin had made a good farm, having cleared up most of the land, and the old log cabin was replaced by substantial frame buildings. There he lived out his life and died at the age of eighty-one.
Christian Martin married Catherine Sarer, who was born in Pennsylvania in 1817 and died at the age of sixty-five. Their children were Jacob, Jerome, Susanna, Abraham, Lydia, Jane, George and
Christian.
Six years of age when his family made the eventful journey to Elkhart County already described, Jerome Martin had his share of pioneer experiences. He attended one of the early schools of Olive Township, walked night and morning a mile and a half through the woods to the schoolhouse of hewn logs. As soon as his strength permitted he bore his share of responsibilities in connection with the clearing and cultivation of the home farm and in that way his early life was spent until March, 1862.
At that date he enlisted in Company K of the Ninth Indiana Volunteer Infantry. His service was for three years or until the close of the war. The record of that regiment is his individual record as a soldier. He served successively in the commands of Buell, Rosecrans, Grant and Sherman. He had his baptism of fire at Shiloh, was at Stone River, Chickamauga, and fought with Sherman's great army in all the hundred days of advance upon Atlanta, including the siege of that city, and was afterwards at Jonesboro and Lovejoy Station. He was with the troops sent back under General Thomas in pursuit of Hood's army, and fought both at Franklin and Nashville. The closing months of his service were spent in Tennessee and Alabama, and he was honorably discharged at Huntsville in the latter state.
With this splendid record as a soldier he returned home and became a farmer on the old homestead, but afterwards learned the trade of carpenter. Soon after the Village of Nappanee was started and established he took up his trade there, but after three years returned to the farm and continued its cultivation until 1905. In that year he moved to Nappanee, but a few months later went to Wakarusa, where he has since lived, enjoying the competence which his earlier years of industry and thrift have given him.
In 1891 Mr. Martin married Hannah Doremyer. She was born in Kosciusko County, Indiana, near Mentone.
Her grandparents moved from Pennsylvania to Ohio, and her grandmother was of English birth, and afterwards came west and died in Kosciusko County.
Jacob Doremyer, father of Mrs. Martin, was born in Pennsylvania and about 1855 located in Harrison Township of Kosciusko County. There he and his family lived in a log house for some years, until increasing prosperity enabled him to provide better for home wants. Jacob Doremyer died at the age of forty-seven. His wife, whose maiden name was Susannah Brilhart, was born in Troy Township of Morrow County, Ohio, and died at the age of twenty-seven, leaving two children, Melcena and Hannah.
Jacob Doremyer married for his second wife Margaret Lloyd, who survived him and married a second time. There were five children of this union: Socrates, Harriet, Fanny, Jacob and Cyrena,
Mr Martin is a member of Custer Post of the Grand Army of the Republic and Mrs Martin belongs to the Woman's Relief Corps.
