This venerable pioneer citizen was born in Martin county, Indiana, May 2, 1828. A few years after bis birth bis parents moved to Mis souri where in 1847 be was united iu marriage to Miss Nellie Allen and they settled on a farm in Gen try county, Mo. In I 857 with his wife and four children he joined an immigrant train composed of 12 wagons and about 50 people and headed for the Golden West. The company encountered many hard ships and privations on their long journey and barely missed being in the terrible Mountain Meadow mas sacre. They buried three members of their party on the trip and final ly arrived at Red Bluff, California in Nov. I 857 . Soon thereafter Mr. Muttinund family proceeded to the Rogue River valley, Oregon, where Mr. Martin engaged in blacksmitb- ing for a time. In 1800 they moved to Plugene, where the elder Martin followed his trade for four years, at the end of which time ho moved to a homestead west of Cottage Grove on Silk Creek and in the following spring he oame to Cottage Grove to work at his trade. The name Cot tage Grove originated with the post office first established at Fern Ridge 12 miles distam, and as it was moved from ranch to ranch the name stayed with it until its permanent location at this place. Mr. Martin became postmaster upon bis homestead in the spring of 1805 and a little later he moved tbe office with his personal effects to Cottage Grove where the office was kept in an annebc to his blacksmith shop. He built the first business house iu this city and was the first Justice of the Peace, re taining the office for 10 years. In 1808^ he bought more land on Silk Creek and thereafter divided his time between the farm and the shop. In 1874 he retired from the shop aud spent most of bis time on tbe farm. Mr. Martin was elected to the state legialntuie by tbe Republican party in 1872 and served one term, dis charging bis duties with marked ability. The sum mer of 18?3 was spent by Mr. Martin on a government sur vey in Lake county and in I 884 was instrumental iu having a post office located on his farm, called Royal, at which be was appointed postmaster. Mr. and Mrs. Martin were tbe parents ot Beven children, Willard H., Jesse. Eleanor C., wife of A . J. Barlow, John S.. Joel R., U. S. and N. H., all of whom are married aud settled in life, the lat ter two being at the old gentleman's bedside when he died. j Mr. Martin and wife were born the same year, in the same county, were cared for by tbe same nurse, and lived in the same community until their marriage. The aged widow is enjoying good health and is bearing up under her great grief nobly. Mr. Marfin was a man who took an active interest in the affairs of his country aud the locality in which he resided. He was a man possessed of good sound judgment, genial and affable in manners and was universally esteemed. Early in life he and hiB wife united with the M. E. church and both have al ways led upright, honest Christian lives ‘ ‘ Uncle Nat’s ” kindly greet ings and wise counsels will lie great ly missed by the people of this com munity, all of whom join tbe Leader in extending sympathy and condolence to the bereaved widow and family. Funeral services were conducted from tbe family home by Rev. C. H. Wallace at 2 o’ clock Friday afternoon, interment in the I. O. O. F. cemetery.
