Dr. George Frederick Martin, one of the oldest physicians in the county, passed away at his home on North Market street last Friday at ten thirty o’clock following a two years’ illness of cancer of the stomach.
Dr. Martin was born March 1, 1859, and reached the age of eighty years, seven months, and eighteen days. He was the son of the late Frederick and Barbara Keller Martin and was born and reared near Milltown. Dr. Martin was always an exceptional student. He was graduated with distinction from the Hospital College of Medicine of Louisville in 1884 receiving the gold medal awarded for highest standing of any student in the college in all branches of study. He was demonstrator of anatomy at the Hospital College of Medicine in Louisville for two years. He took a post graduate course at the New York Polyclinic. He practiced medicine at Freelandville in Knox county for a year. In May 1890 he was united in marriage to Miss Anna Nealy. For more than fifty-three years he practiced his profession in Corydon. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church.
He was a man of splendid attainments and of more than ordinary qualifications in his profession. He was a scholar and he was a positive character, having fully developed convictions and beliefs on all questions of both private and public concern. He was a man of high character and determined purpose.
Friends paid tribute to the departed at the John A. Watson Funeral Home and at the residence Saturday, Sunday, and Monday preceding the funeral.
Funeral services were held Monday morning at ten o’clock at the residence conducted by the Rev. Ray R. Kelley pastor of the Corydon Methodist Church who was a close friend of Dr. Martin for several years. Pallbearers were Maurice Griffin, William B. Grove, Orris V. Wllet, C. Blaine Hays and William Buchanan of Corydon and Dr. L. F. Glenn of Ramsey. Interment was in Cedar Hill Cemetery.
Surviving are his wife, Mrs. Anna Nealy Martin, two daughters, Mrs. Preston Barba of Emmaus, Pa., and Miss Grace Martin, teacher of German in Indiana University, Bloomington; also, a son-in-law, Dr. Preston Barba, a member of the faculty at Muhlenberg College, and William Barba, student at Mercersburg Academy at Mercersburg, Pa. Dr. Martin also is survived by two sisters, Mrs. William Daniel or Corydon and Mrs. George Agan of Owatonna, Minn. A son, George Frederick, and a daughter, Gertrude, died in infancy.
