Bits of two obituarys copied from Missouri Newspapers;
A native of Moniteau County, Eugene P. Martin, 72, died suddenly of a heart attack at Joplin, Friday December 27th.
He was a son of the late Mr. & Mrs. F. M. Martin, who for many years resided at Clarksburg where they operated a grocery store while educating their children.
After graduating from Hooper Institute, Mr. Martin engaged in school teaching for a time later becoming owner and publisher of the Clarksburg Review which he operated two years. He was then employed in mercantile establishments in Kansas City, Peabody, Kans., and Carthage, Mo.
In 1908 he purchased the Afton, Okla., and he published the Afton American until 1914 when he purchased the Miami, Okla., Record Herald and in 1918 he changed the paper from a weekly to a daily selling the business in 1924.
Twenty-one years ago he moved to Joplin establishing the Automatic Printing Company retiring from business in 1939.
"Gene" Martin was eminently successful in the publishing and printing trade. Mrs. Martin was equally agressive in newspaper work as was her husband and she was a competent helpmate.
