He was fifty-three years of age at the time of his death.  Mr. Martin

where he has been in business since, a member of the well known firm of
Martin Brothers, known throughout northeast Georgia.

   Mr. Martin, although forced to use a wheel chair on account of an
illness, was one of the most cheerful men in Athens.  He was manager of
the upper Clayton street store of Martin Brothers and his ready smile
and cheery salution to passerby made him the friend of hundreds of
people who didn’t know his name.  However, he was well known throughout
this section, and leaves a wide circle of friends and acquaintances who
will not forget his kindly manner and courage through years of illness
that might have caused another man of less determination to give up.
