This is to certify that I, L. Polk Denmark, personally remember the many 
visits to our home by my grandmother Patience Lewis Denmark, that all my 
life I have known that her sister Bethania Lewis married Henderson Martin of 
Mount Olive, North Carolina, and that when my father, James William Denmark 
returned from the Civil War in 1865, at the age of 18, he left the farm near 
Dudley, North Carolina, and lived for a year with "Uncle Henderson and Aunt 
Theny Martin," so he could attend the school there with the Martin children. 
In the January 1911, issue of the Wake Forest Student (Benefactor' Number,) 
page 373, in his autobiography he tells about this move toward gaining his 
education.

I furthermore certify that I personally abstracted the records of Wayne 
County Will Book R. 9 - Page 460, and Deed Book 10, Page 44, from the records 
in the State Department of Archives and History, Raleigh, North Carolina.
