The Portland Observer, Wednesday, December 24, 1890

Eliott Mills Martin was born in the township of Otsego, Otsego county, N.Y., 
March 15, 1806; was married to Miss Katherine Quackenbush Oct. 12th, 1831; 
moved from the state of New York to Orange, Ionia county, Michigan, in 1846; 
then but a howling wilderness, where Mr. Martin, by dint of hard work cleared 
up a large farm and engaged quite extensively in the lumber business.  His 
wife died September 1852.  Moved from Orange to Danby in 1863, upon what was 
known as the I.G. Frost farm.  Shortly after he moved upon his farm, now owned 
by J. C. Turner.  In January, 1871 he was married to Mrs. Alzena Bennett.  His 
wife died May 14, 1885.  He still remained upon the farm until 1888, since 
which time he has been living with his children.  He was the father of eleven 
children, eight of whom—four boys and four girls—survive him.  He died 
December 17th, 1890, at the residence of his son, A. J. Martin, in the 85th 
year of his age.

The funeral services were held at the Council Bluffs school house, conducted 
by Rev. Mr. Bird of Portland and the remains interred in the Danby cemetery.
