Thomas Martin 90, once owned ad agency Art directors looked up to him Fort Thomas - C. Thomas Martin, 90, former president and owner of the Cincinnati advertising agency Stockton-West Burkhart, died Saturday after a short illness at St. Luke's Hospital East in Fort Thomas. He lived in Fort Thomas. Mr. Martin was somebody to be counted on, said a daughter, Carroll Gunderman of Clifton. "He was well-known in Cincinnati," she said. "If he was asked to do something, then he did it and you didn't have to question whether it would get done. Born in Covington, Mr. Martin was a graduate of Holmes High School. He studied art at the Cincinnati Art Academy and in 1927 moved to New York City to study fine art at the Art Students League and at the Grand Central Academy. Returning to Covington in 1932, he started his own advertising art studio in Cincinnati. In 1937, he joined Stockton-West Burkhart as its art director. He ultimately became the owner, president and chairman of the board of the firm, which was for many years the largest advertising agency in Cincinnati. "He was well-known for his good taste and as an art director," said a friend and colleague, Bill Sanning of Hyde Park. Some even called Mr. Martin the "dean" of Cincinnati art directors, he said. But he was most proud of his children and their achievements and also of founding the Art Directors Club of Cincinnati in 1952, Carroll Gunderman said. "He was a very home person; this will be the first year we will not have Christmas at his house," she said. Mr. Martin was also a member of St. Catherine of Siena Church in Fort Thomas. He created drawings and advertising campaigns for the Covington diocese newspaper, Catholic Messenger, as well. "He was a very wonderful artist in both the commercial and fine arts," his daughter said. After his retirement, he traveled to Ireland and painted watercolors, which were later displayed at the Cincinnati Metropolitan Art Club. "He was a very loving and caring person," his daughter said. "He was sought after; many people looked up to him." Also surviving are two sons, Thomas Martin of Anderson Township and Timothy Martin of Fort Thomas; two other daughters, Margaret Ann Bertelsman of Fort Thomas and Mary Loussaert of Wixom, Mich.; two stepsons, Robert Klett of San Francisco and Michael Klett of Shillington, Pa.; 15 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren.

He is a manager of a branch of the Dollar Savings and Trust Company at 315 E. Federal Street. His individual career has served to enrich the record of a family of unusual distinction in the Mahoning Valley. Mr. Brown was born in New York City, February 20, 1870, son of Richard and Thalia (Newton) Brown. His grandfather, Capt. John Brown, after serving with the British Army in the battle of Waterloo, came to the United States about 1840 and spent the last twenty years of his life at Canfield, Mahoning County, Ohio. His son, Richard Brown, was born in England, and at the age of fourteen was apprentice to a draper and dry goods merchant, spending seven years in learning the business. He had experience both in London and Paris, and while in London was associated with George Williams in organizing the Young Men Christian Association of the World. Later, after locating in New York City, he assisted in founding and became the first treasurer of the first association in this country. About 1844 Richard Brown came to the United States, and for a time was with the New York firm of Lord and Taylor, and A.C. Stewart. In 1877, on account of ill health, he located at Canfield, Ohio, where he died in 1888, at the age of seventy-one. While visiting his parents in Ohio he met Thalia Newton, who was born at Canfield, daughter of Judge Eben Newton, one of the distinguished lawyers and public men of Ohio. Born in Connecticut in 1795, he came to Ohio about 1814, was admitted to the bar at Warren in 1823, and for twenty years was a partner of Elisha Whittlesey. He also practiced for a short time in Cincinnati with Rutherford B. Hayes. In 1840, Eben Newton was elected a member of the State Senate, and as judge of the Third Judicial District Senate, and as judge of the Third Judicial District held the first session of the common Pleas Court in Mahoning County in 1846. He was elected to Congress in 1850, was president of two railroad lines in Northeastern Ohio, and was the prefect in law with Ben F. Wade, Joshua R. Giddings and other great Ohio men. The mother of Frederick Church Brown died in 1889. The son had spent the first seven years of his life in New York, where he attended a private school, and afterward the public schools at Canfield, was graduated in 1889 from the Northeastern Ohio Normal College, and in 1890 came to Youngstown. For some time he was cashier of the Youngstown Street Railroad Company, and in 1896 was elected city clerk, serving two terms. On resigning that office he became identified with the Wick National Bank of Youngstown, which was subsequently absorbed by the Dollar Savings and Trust Company. He served as teller in the bank until April 1, 1908, at which time he became manager of the Federal Street branch, and has held that responsible executive position in local banking circles for over sixteen years. Mr. Brown married June 27, 1894, Miss Emma Creed, a native of Coitsville, Mahoning County, Ohio, and daughter of John A. and Caroline (Vail) Creed. Her father was a native of England, and her mother was born in Poland, Ohio. Two daughters were born to Mr. and Mrs. Brown; Grace Elizabeth, who died in infancy, and Ethel Caroline, wife of Franklin F. Ferris, of Youngstown, Ohio. Mr. Brown has served the Westminster Presbyterian Church of Youngstown as an elder since 1897. For thirteen years he was a member of the City Sinking Fund and Tax Commission, is a republican, a member of the Chamber of Commerce, and has been active in the Youngstown Young Men's Christian Association. ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #7 Date: Sun, 12 Sep 1999 23:45:01, -0500 From: AUPQ38A@prodigy.com (MRS GINA M REASONER) To: OH-FOOTSTEPS-L@rootsweb.com Message-Id: <199909130345.XAA12962@mime3.prodigy.com> Subject: EMIL G. GERTOLINI - MAHONING COUNTY Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset=US-ASCII History of Ohio The American Historical Society Inc., 1925 Volume IV, page 185 EMIL G. BERTOLINI has utilized most effectively his technical and artistic talent since establishing his home in the Untied States, and in the City of Youngstown he now controls a substantial and prosperous business as a contractor in the installation of tile, marble and mosaic work, especially in connection with interior architectural work. Along this line he had served a specially excellent apprenticeship in his native Italy, and had followed similar work also in Germany. Mr. Bertolini was born in the picturesque and historic old city of Venice, Italy, in the year 1887, and there he received his early education, as well as his original training for the trade and art of which he has become a successful and popular exponent in the land of his adoption. In the year 1913 Mr. Bertolini came to the Untied States, and after having followed his trade about three months at Akron, Ohio, where he was associated with his brother Arthur, he passed two years in working at his trade in the City of Washington, District of Columbia. During the next two years he was similarly employed in the City of Cleveland, and he then came from the Ohio metropolis to Youngstown, where he has since been engaged in business as a contractor in tile, marble and mosaic construction. It should be noted that he suffered a great loss in the death of his brother Arthur, January 1, 1913, shortly after his arrival in the United States. At Youngstown he and his wife are earnest communicants of the Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church. In the year 1911 was solemnized the marriage of Mr. Bertolini and Miss Lucy De Ponte, who likewise was born in Italy, and they have three children, Dominick, Henry and Arthuretta. The well equipped business establishment of Mr. Bertolini was started at 26 North Walnut Street, about 1917, and from a humble beginning he has developed a business of large proportions, which in the fall of 1924 will be housed in a modern up-to-date building located on three acres of ground on Wicklife Bouleveard in Youngstown. ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #8 Date: Sun, 12 Sep 1999 23:45:03, -0500 From: AUPQ38A@prodigy.com (MRS GINA M REASONER) To: OH-FOOTSTEPS-L@rootsweb.com Message-Id: <199909130345.XAA05554@mime3.prodigy.com> Subject: JACOB PALMER - TUSCARAWAS COUNTY Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset=US-ASCII History of Tuscarawas County, Ohio Warner, Beers & Co., 1884 JACOB PALMER, farmer, P.O.
