The Atchison Champion, Atchison, Kansas, Friday, February 24, 1905
A. F. Martin, city attorney of Atchison, an old soldier, and a most respected citizen and lawyer, died at his home at 1117 North Fourth street last Saturday morning at 10:45 o’clock. His death was caused by a throat trouble, with which he had been suffering for about a year. About a year ago Mr. Martin was in Topeka, where he was arguing a case before the Supreme court. The throat trouble appeared just after his return, and since then it had troubled him continually. Four years ago he had his left leg amputated at the knee, on account of a cancer which had formed on it. Since this operation he had been in very fair health until the throat trouble appeared. He had not attended court this term, and had not been out of the house for several weeks. It had been expected that he would recover until a week or two before his death, but it was soon evident to all that he could not live. He himself realized his condition several days before his death, and told Dr. Boyle, pastor of the Presbyterian church, that he would like to live for the sake of his family, but that he realized he must go. Mr. Martin was born in Westmoreland county, Pa., on April 11, 1841. He received his early education at the Millersville State Normal school, in Lancaster county, Pa. Later on he took a course at Ann Arbor, and was graduated from that university in 1869. Mr. Martin, when he first came to this section in that same year, temporarily located at Weston, Mo., where he taught school for two years. He came to Atchison in 1871. At that time he entered the law office of Horton & Waggener. At the time C. G. Foster was appointed federal judge, he took his office and carried on his business. He afterwards became a law partner of James W. Orr. Mr. Orr was elected Mayor four years ago, and Mr. Martin City Attorney, and both were re-elected two years ago. Mr. Martin made a most able city attorney. He was Superintendent of the Presbyterian Sunday school for several years. He served in two Pennsylvania regiments during the Civil war. He belonged to the John A. Martin post of the G.A.R. Mrs. Martin and the following children survive him: Harold Martin, of Washington, D.C., who was here a short time ago, but who had to return to Washington; Ralph Martin, of Coburg, Oregon; John Martin, a member of the firm of Holbrook & Martin, of this city, and Elizabeth and Edgar Martin, who attend school in Atchison. All were present at his death except Harold. The deceased had several brothers and sisters, who however, were unable to be present. There were funeral services at the home at 9:30 Tuesday morning, after which the body was taken to the Presbyterian church. The ceremonies there were very largely attended, the church being crowded to the doors, and was noted that nearly all the old-timers, and a large number of the business men of the city were present. The services were beautiful and Dr. Boyle delivered a fine address in memory of the deceased. Dr. J. Howard Stough, of Midland college, took part in the ceremonies. The G.A.R. members were present, and the firing squad of the Militia accompanied the body to the grave. Mayor James W. Orr, J. P. Adams, Patrick Hayes, Senator Henry Elliston, Judge J. L. Berry and E. L. Hillis, acted as pall-bearers.
-----------------------------------
In 1860, he was living with his farming family in Sewickley Township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania.
A Civil War veteran, he served two terms of service:
1. Enlisted in Latrobe, Westmoreland County, August 8, 1862, mustered into federal service at Harrisburg August 14 as a private with Co. F, 135th Pennsylvania Infantry, and honorably discharged with his company May 24, 1863. Four other companies of the 135th Pennsylvania Infantry were recruited from Lancaster County.
2. Apparently a student at Lancaster County's Millersville State Normal School, he enlisted in Lancaster July 13, 1864, mustered into federal service at Harrisburg July 17 as 1st sergeant of Co. C in the hundred-day organization of the 195th Pennsylvania Infantry, and honorably discharged with his company November 4, 1864. A G.A.R. membership list from Atchison, Kansas, Post No. 93 erroneously claims his second enlistment was with the 191st Pennsylvania Infantry, although the service dates are listed correctly.
He married Sarah Elizabeth Hudson September 2, 1875, and fathered John Thompson (b. 10/31/78), Harold Hudson (b. 02/15/77), Aaron Finley (b. 03/??/80, d. 06/08/89), John J. (b. 06/??/81), Ralph Waldo (b. 01/08/82), Elizabeth (b. 03/??/86), James H. (b. 05/??/88), and Edgar E. (b. 07/18/89).
