Floyd Franklin, the youngest son of Burk ["Buck" - Ananias William] and Lydia
Martin was born in Clay County, GA Dec 17th 1865 and departed this life Aug 26,
1902 in Macon, GA.

In 1886 Brother Martin went to the City of Macon and engaged in the railroad
business. Commencing at the lowest round in this business  by close application
to duty, perseverance and assiduity being his watchword, he soon found for
himself a place in the confidence of his employers which prompted quick and
rapid promotion, and soon he was ranking as one of the most efficient conductors
of the Central Railway System.

Brother Martin never professed to have attained to that perfection in this life
that would place him beyond or above the faults and foibles incidental to human
nature, but was actuated by true principles, devotion to duty and daily striving
to discharge the obligations of the hour. The depth of his immortal nature was
beautifully sounded in that love and unyielding devotion to his aged mother
during his life and that beauty was not marred nor diminished but rather
increased by his life as a husband.

His suffering was long and great but all through the days and months he bore it
with true Masonic fortitude, looking forward to the time when as a perfect
ashler he might be ready for that temple not made with hands but returned in the
Heaves.

He leaves an aged mother, wife, one brother, four sisters, quite a number of
relatives and a host of true friends  who mourn their loss and to them we extend
our heart and hand in love and sympathy.

Rev J.T. Adams
