C. MARTIN (deceased), an old and respected citizen of Jackson Township, was born in Shelby County, Ky., March 31, 1812, being fourth child of a family of eleven children born to William and Mary A. (Wayman) Martin. His parents were natives of Virginia and were upright, Christian people. The subject of this sketch had very limited means of procuring an education but succeeded in securing a very good practical education. He remained at home until he attained his sixteenth year, when he was apprenticed to a saddler to learn the trade, which he followed most of his life. March 14, 1838, his marriage with Parmelia W. Denny was solemnized, and to this union were born six children, all living: Cyrus, Hester, Martha, Dorothea, Otho and Lydia E. In politics he was a stanch Republican and took an intelligent interest in the political questions of his day. June 13, 1871, his lamented death occurred. He had been a member of the Christian Church for over forty years previous to his death and professed a living faith in the atoning efficacy of a Savior's blood. His occupations through life were the saddlery business and farming, in which pursuits he was successful, leaving a comfortable home to his family at his death. ------------------------------ USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free genelaogical information on the Internet, data may be freely used for personal research and by non-commercial entities as long as this message remains on all copied material.
