• Notes

  John W. Martin, "the fifth son of Abram B. and Barbara (Weaver) Martin, is married to Sarah Clemens. They reside on Henry Wanner's old place near the Wanner Mennonite Meeting House, about a mile west of Hespeler. Their family consists of four children" Eby, Ezra E. (1895). A biographical history of Waterloo township and other townships of the county: being a history of the early settlers and their descendants, mostly all of Pennsylvania Dutch origin: as also much other unpublished historical information chiefly of a local character. Berlin [Kitchener, Ont.]: [s.n.]. ________________________ MARTIN (Galt, Ont.) March 1 - John W. Martin a prominent farmer of Waterloo township, aged about 70, died very suddenly in Galt this afternoon. Deceased, who has been running the Speedsville woollen mills, which belong to the estate of his son, the late Samuel C. Martin, who, strange to say, died very suddenly about a year ago under similar circumstances, was in Galt this morning, delivering a load of yarn to Newlands & Co., and drove home, but returned to Galt in the afternoon to attend a meeting of North Dumfries, and South Waterloo Insurance co., of which he had been a director for several years. While walking on the street he apparently fainted and was carried into Dr. Varden's office nearby where he died almost immediately. Hamilton Spectator 2 Mar 1897
