JACOB E. MARTIN
Jacob E. Martin, who resides on a farm of two hundred acres, one-half mile
south from Newport, which supports two million feet of saw timber, is one of
the prosperous, industrious and substantial men of Stevens county. At the
present time he is a section foreman in the employ of the Great Northern
railroad and is one of their trusted men. J.E. Martin was born in Terre
Haute, Indiana, on June 7, 1869, the son of Jacob and Elizabeth (Zigler)
Martin, natives of Baden,Germany, and who are named elsewhere in this work.
They lived in New York, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Illinois, in this country,
until 1891,then came to Stevens county,Washington, where they now reside. Our
subject was educated in Pulaski county, Illinois, and remained with his
parents until he was twenty years of age. At that time he assumed the respon-
sibilities of life for himself and at once went to work on the section.
After two years he was given a foremanship and has now become very expert
and skillful in this business.
   In October,1893, Mr. Martin married Miss Lillie, daughter of John and 
Mary (Clark) Johnson, natives of New York. They came to Kansas in 1881 and
reside there at the present time. They have the following named children:
Hattie Sargent, Delia Smith, Benjamin, Emma, Bartlett, and Lulu Punchess.
To Mr. and Mrs. Martin one child, George E., has been born. Politically
Mr. Martin is liberal, while stability, uprightness and industry charac-
terize him.
