Died
On Saturday morning last, of inflammation of the bowels, Louis M. Martin, aged 38 years. Mr. Martin was one of the brightest, most talented and intelligent men in Harrison county. He enjoyed a high distinction as a statesman, and a grand reputation as a lawyer and gentleman. His character was exemplary and his life a benefit to his whole associations. He was the son of Squire M. D. Martin. About two years ago he married a daughter of Judge W. P. C. Bush, of Frankfort. Mr. Martin was elected Senator of Harrison, Nicholas and Robertson in 1885 and lie in all other public acts he won admiration for his integrity and ability. In fact Lewis M. Martin was a man among men and a noble and grand one at that. His loss is universally deplored, and many were the affectionate tokens of esteem from friends displayed at the funeral services held Sunday morning. His remains were interred in Battle Grove to rest in the sweet, peaceful sleep that knows no awakening. Peace to his ashes. Heart will hold in sacred memory his name.
Mr. L. M. Martin died at his last residence on Pleasant street Friday evening August 31, 1888. He was one of the class of 1873, the first class to graduate from the Graded City School of Cynthiana.
Upon the organization of the Alumni Association he was chosen its president and discharged the duties of that trust in a most efficient manner. He was always an active worker, responding willingly whenever called upon by the Association and was held in great esteem by all its members. Now therefore be it resolved
1. That in his death the Alumni Association has lost an active and efficient member, his wife a devoted husband and the State an able, honored and worthy citizen.
2. That the Alumni of the Graded City School deeply sympathize with the widow and family of the deceased in their loss.
3. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the widow and that the papers of the county be requested to publish the same.
4. That the Alumni attend the funeral in a body.

W. W. Longmoor, Secretary
Mr. Martin represented this Senatorial district in the legislature from 1853 to 1887, and gained for himself an enviable reputation as a Senator. His position in the Senate was that of a leader and he was looked upon as one of the bright young men who would be called to stations of trust and honor in the near future. As a lawyer he was attentive, studious and able. As a citizen he ranked second to none and as a gentleman he was recognized everywhere as a peer of any; as that his untimely taking away causes deep regret in the hearts of all who appreciated high mental and moral worth. – Carlisle Mercury
