1012          HISTORY OF WRIGHT COUNTY 

  Gotlieb Martie was born in Switzerland in 1820. While quite young he 
learned the carpenter trade and also took a thorough course in music. 
Thus prepared, he worked at his trade and served as a member of the 
government band. In 1852 he came to the United States and located at 
Freeport, Ill., working at his trade. There he organized the Brass and 
String Bands. In 1857 he came to St. Anthony, Minn., and the same year 
took a claim on section 15, Silver Creek township. Except for a short 
time when he lived in St. Cloud, he made St. Paul and St. Anthony his 
home until 1861, when he moved to his farm in this county. In 1846 he 
was married to Elizabeth Burkhart, and to them were born five children: 
Gottlieb (deceased); Samuel, of Buffalo; John, of North Dakota; Frederick, 
of Silver Creek; and Emma, now Mrs. James Burcham, of Chatham township, 
this county. Mr. Martie died in 1902 and Mrs. Martie in 1901.
