 HENRY MARTIN, a successful and enterprising farmer residing on section 9, Cedar
Mills township, has been a resident of Meeker county, with the exception of one
year, since 1873. He is a native of Monroe county, Wis., and was born October 8,
1855.

  When Henry was seven years of age he removed to Kedron, Fillmore county, Minn.,
with a man named Hale, who had adopted him. He remained there until 1873, when he
came to Meeker county, Minn., and located in what is now the town of Cosmos. After
remaining there a year he went to Stevens county, Minn., where he also remained a
year, and then returned to Meeker county. After his return he lived in Greenleaf
township until the spring of 1884, when he purchased his present farm on section 9,
Cedar Mills township. Since that time he has resided upon his farm and devoted his
time to diversified farming and stock raising. He has a valuable farm of 160 acres,
considerable of which is under cultivation, and is in very comfortable
circumstances.

  Mr. Martin was married on January 9, 1878, to Miss Alma R. Nevens. She is a native
of Maine, born November 20, 1861, and is a daughter of Daniel and Eveline Nevens,
who were among the earliest settlers of Greenleaf township. Mr. and Mrs. Martin are
the parents of four children, as follows— Luman D., born January 28, 1880; Mary E.,
born May 25, 1882; Sarah A., born April 28, 1885; and Lettie G., born September 22,
1887, all of whom are now living.
