Martin, James P., Lake City, is a native of St. Lawrence county, New York,
and was born October 31, 1845. He is a son of James and Catharine (Gorman)
Martin, who were also born in the State of New York, of Irish ancestry.
Mr. Martin was reared on a farm, where his early youth was spent at school
and agricultural pursuits. A few years of his early manhood was employed
in driving stage. He was married to Miss Julia F. Hart, a native of St.
Lawrence county, New York, in 1868, and in the spring of the same year
came to Lake City, and the same year took position as foreman in the large
livery and sale stable of Mr. W. E. Perkins. He is still with Mr. Perkins,
and is interested with him in introducing some very fine and valuable fast
horse stock in this county, among them some of the best blood for trotting
in the United States. In 1878 he purchased one hundred and sixty acres of
land in Chester, which he rents. Mr. Martin has three children, Lizzie May
and Willie J. (twins) and Frank, in attendance at the city schools.
