The late Mr. Martin was born on a farm on the Kitchener-Preston highway and lived in Waterloo Township where he farmed from1898 until 1923 when he came to Preston to live semi-retired. He served for years as market clerk but his illness a year ago forced him to relinquish the post. A staunch Presbyterian, the deceased belonged to Knox church here. He was a member of the I.O.O.F. lodge in Preston. His wife predeceased him two years ago. There survive two sons, Elton of Galt and Samuel of Preston and one daughter, Miss Carrie Martin: at home three grandchildren servive.
