The Enterprise March 16, 1933
                      ANOTHER CONFEDERATE SOLDIER GONE

  Mr. Wm. G. Martin, in his 92nd year, departed this life at the house of his 
son Charley Martin, near Dodson Saturday, March 11th at 11 o'clock P.M. and was 
buried Sunday afternoon at the Cox Cemetery in the community in which he had 
spent most of his life.  He was a son of Wm. Moses Martin, who lived in the same 
community.
  Mr. Martin was married three times, and by his first wife he raised five sons, 
all of whom survive to mourn their loss.  He served as a Confederate soldier 
practically all through the war between the states and drew a pension for 
several years.  He united with the Primitive Baptist Church several years ago 
and was a consistent member of that church of Stuart at the time of his death.
  Some years ago he had a nice casket made at Woolwine, and had it shipped to 
Roanoke, where he was living at that time and he bought his funeral clothes and 
put them in it.  When he moved back to Patrick he had them shipped back, where 
they waited for him at his son's home when the end came.
  He was the last member of the Wm. Moses Martin family but he leaves his five 
sons, Weefe, Peter, Dick, Alex, and Charley Martin and a host of relatives and 
friends to mourn his departure.

  Written by his pastor, S.A. Thompson
