History of Bourbon, Scott, Harrison and Nicholas Counties, Kentucky, ed. by William Henry Perrin, O. L. Baskin & Co., Chicago, 1882. p. 669. [Harrison County] [Cynthiana City and Precinct] LOUIS M. MARTIN, attorney, P. O. Cynthiana. The ancestors of this gentleman on the maternal side came from Maryland. His grandfather, William Martin, reached Harrison County at an early day and settled down to farming. His father, M. D. Martin, is also a substantial and reliable farmer who represented the county in the Legislature in 1868-9. His mother, Zerilda Sellers, daughter of David Sellers, was born and raised in the county. Louis M. Martin received his education in the Harrison Academy and graduated from the graded school of the city in 1873. He then entered the law school of Kentucky University from which he received a diploma in 1874. He began the practice of his chosen profession in Cynthiana soon after his graduation, and now has a large and growing practice. He is a member of the Christian CHurch, and a Democrat in politics. Mr. Martin is a modest and retiring disposition, but studious and energetic and possessing the confidence and esteem of the intelligent and appreciative community in which he resides; it is safe to predict for him a future marked by much that will be gratifying to his friends.
