He was educated in the local schools preparatory to entering the teaching profession. He taught in Mitchell for several years before switching to medicine. He graduated from a Toronto University in 1895, and after a few months in New York, began to practice in New Hamburg. The Dumfries Reformer of August 13 referred to him as Dr. Marty of Mitchell, and said he would have his office at Andrich's Commercial Hotel. During his 43 years of practice, he was for some years Medical Officer of Health, and served as coroner. He was secretary of the schoolboard for over 30 years, and a supporter of the Conservative party. He did not attract the attentions of the newspapers, but the Kitchener Daily Record in his obituary on October 1, 1928 said of him. "Beloved by all who knew him as a medical man, or as a private citizen or as both, Dr. Marty had won and held the confidence of his fellow citizens during that long period in which he gave valuable service not only as a doctor but as a public servant." After an illness of some months duration, he died on October 1, 1928 and was survived by his widow, one son and one daughter, one son having been killed overseas in the First World War.
