"Johnny Martin married Mary Brown and Mary Martin married Johnny Brown." John worked for the railroad, which may explain why they ended up in Massachusetts as newly weds. He probably continued with the railroad after his wife's death. Lyle Martin says that he suffered some kind of accident, no doubt on the job, which resulted in a plate being placed inside his head. Eventually he retired - or was possibly disabled since he received a pension for a number of years. On October 12, 1921 his daughter Margaret married Joseph Wirtzfeld in Villard, with the reception at the home of the William E. Martin family there. Lyle Martin, age nearly 13, remembers Margaret Brown Wirtzfeld saying she had reached her father who was working in North Dakota at the time, but that he was unable to come for the wedding. Rena Martin Jenson says, "Ann [daughter of John Francis Martin] died in 1898 same time as Mary [Ann Martin] Brown and Franklin Brown of typhoid fever." Ed L. Martin is buried in the Kirkland Cemetery next to Peter J. Brown, a brother of his sister Mary's husband John J. Brown, I presume. Peter had bought 20 acres of land in Kirkland and John J. Brown lived there until he died; John J. Brown is also buried in this cemetery. John Henry Martin is also buried here. |
