The Belding Banner, Thursday, May 8, 1930


Peter A. Martin, aged 57 years, for many years a resident of this city and very 
well known in both this city and the Miriam district where he lived before 
coming to Belding, died at his home at 223 Leonard street, Wednesday night of 
last week, following an illness of six months duration, which became acute two 
months ago when he submitted to an operation for gastric ulcers at the Belding 
hospital, where he remained a patient until several weeks ago when he was 
removed to his home.

Mr. Martin was born on October 28, 1873, and was the son of George and Theresia 
Martin, pioneer residents of the German settlement at Miriam.  On April 14, 
1903 he was united in marriage to Ola Belle Nichols, of this city and to this 
union four children were born: Clarence, Smith, Francetta, (now Mrs. Archie 
Myers) and Teresa, all of this city and who with the widow are left to mourn 
their loss.  Three sisters, Mrs. Lena M. Engemann, Mrs. Gertrude Honson and 
Mrs. Jacob Englebert, all of this city, also survive.

Funeral services were held on Saturday morning at nine o’clock from St. 
Joseph’s Catholic church, with Rev. Fr. Lawrence L. Door officiating and burial 
was in River Ridge cemetery.  Many friends gathered at the church as a means of 
extending and paying their last respects to the deceased and a large concourse 
of people followed the remains to the grave.

Dearest father, thou hast left us;
Gone to join the angel band;
God knew best when he bereft us,
Of thy loving, guiding hand.

Oft we think of thee, dear father,
Long to see thy loving face’ 
But, if James thought “Twere better
We will bear it through God’s Grace.”
