JAMES H. MARTIN, whose death occurred June 6, 1884, was during his life
one of the prominent and highly resepcted citizens of Vernon Township,
Washington Co., Ind.  At the time of his decease he was sixty-two years
old, having been born March 16, 1822.  His parents were John and Patsy
(Martin) Martin.  His opportunities for acquiring an education were poor,
although he managed to obtain sufficient for the ordinary vocations of
life.  At the age of eight years of age he began to learn the tanner's
trade, but he did not long follow that business.  February 18, 1847, he
was united in matrimony to Susan Mitchell, who bore him a family of eight
children.  Seven of these are now living, and named:  Irena J., Matilda
E., Alice A., Cassius C., Alfred J., Emma E., Tyson M. and Ada L.  For
more than thirty years he was a leading member of the Baptist Church.  He
was a Republican in politics, and by occupation was a successful farmer
and stock-raiser.  For the last part of his life he was troubled with
heart disease, which finally caused his death.
