and Justice of the Peace
Nathaniel Martin, a well known
and highly honored pioneer citizen
ot Cottage Grove, died at his bogie
iu this city Thursday evening Jan.
3, 1908, at the ripe old age of 73
years, 8 months and 7 days.
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
