.....Mr. Martin, a son of the late Rev. and Mrs. Jesse Martin, was born and raised near the Martin school north of California, and is the last survivor of a family of eight children. Mrs. Martin, born and reared at the place where they now reside, has one brother living, Ed Crawford of Minneapolis, Minn.
