To this union was born five children, two boys and three girls, three of whom are now living, Mary Davenport of Rattan, Oklahoma, J.E.

Martin enlisted at the breaking out of the war of 1861 and served continuously until the close of the war. He was boy guard to Gen Fremont during the years 1861-2, then in Co.K.6 Mo; V.S.M. He died at his home near Cleveland, Oklahoma, August 27, 1911, at four o'clock p.m., aged 71 years and 20 days. 'Uncle B', as he was known among the old timers, was a quiet, peaceful citizen, a man of strong convictions but a friend to everyone. His life had been spent upon the frontier and was one continual struggle with nature, but he wrested from it more than a competency. His life as a soldier was one of service and was in the roughest part of the country. The remaining members of the family have the heartfelt sympathy of a host of friends." |
