CHARLES F. MARTIN.

   Mr. Martin, the subject of this sketch, is an excellent farm manager, and for
this reason he has been given the entire management of the home place. Although
young in years, his ability and knowledge equal, and in many instances excel,
these qualities in many of those who have had a lifetime experience in
agricultural pursuits.

   Charles F. Martin, farmer, Camden, Carroll county, was born on February 14,
1888, in Carrollton township, and is a son of William and Emeline (Keck) Martin.
He attended the public schools of the district, after which he spent one year at
high school at Deer Creek. Since his marriage, Mr. Martin has had charge of the
home place, and is the proprietor of the "Fair View Farm," consisting of eighty
acres, situated in Washington township, and also owns one hundred and
fifty-three acres in Carrollton township. Mr. Martin is a stanch Democrat, but
has never taken an active interest in politics. Religiously, he is a member of
the Presbyterian church at Deer Creek. His fraternal alliances are with the Mt.
Zion Lodge, at Camden, Indiana, and the Morris Lodge No. 477, Independent Order
of Odd Fellows at Deer Creek, Indiana.

   William Martin was born in 1833, in Carrollton township, and died in 1908.
His wife, Emeline (Keck) Martin, was also a native of Carrollton township. They
were the parents of two children: Minnie M. Martin, who graduated from the
public schools, and is living at home unmarried, and Charles F., the subject of
this review.

   Charles F. Martin was united in marriage on November 4, 1914, to Lulu
Downham, daughter of Harry B., and Rella (Yerkes) Downham. She was born on
October 23, 1890, in Washington township, and graduated from the public schools
of Deer Creek.

   Harry B. Downham, father of Mrs. Charles M. Martin is a farmer of Washington
township.

   Mr. and Mrs. Martin are quiet, unassuming people, and enjoy the friendship of
the entire community in which they reside. Their beautiful home is located on
route No. 1, Camden, Indiana.
