!OBITUARY: The Indian Journal, Eufaula, McIntosh County, Oklahoma Newpaper, Volume Ninety - F ive, Thursday, April 15, 1971. No., 34. O.L. (LANNY) MARTIN BURIED AT DUSTIN APRIL 8. O.L. (L anny) Martin was born in Clarksville, Arkansas, October 17, 1874 and died April 3, 1971 in Tu cson, Arizona. He was 96 years 5 months and 16 days old. He was visiting with his daughter , Bernice in Tucson enroute to El Paso to visit with his son, and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Elston M artin, then planned on returning to Lakewood, California where he had made his home the las t 2 years. Martin was married to Nora Julia Russell [Julia Nora Russell] on June 23, 1912 . They have five children, which survive. They are: Helen Martin Duncan of Lakewood, Califo rnia, Elston C. Martin, El Paso, Texas, Bernice Martin Wells of Tucson, Arizona, Mary Marti n Thomas of Salt Lake City, Utah and Nadine Martin Wilson of Del City, Oklahoma. He had on e brother, Arris Martin of Sacramento, California, one sister Zola Carter of Bartlesville, Ok lahoma, 23 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. He came to Hanna, Okla., in 1908 and pu rchased the farm where he lived the rest of his life with the exception of the last few year s when he moved to Dustin. Some things worth recalling, spoken by a very old and very dear f ather were recalled by his son: "He took the scripture literally." The 23rd Psalm being hi s favorite, he said, "I never let the sun catch me still in the house when I was farming, ear ly to bed and early to rise." When asked by his daughters why he wanted to leave his farm ho me and move to Dustin, he said, "Here on the farm I have the best neighbors in the world, the y will do anything for me, but they are all young people and young people are busy. Dustin h as many retired men, I will have someone to visit with and play dominoes." His grandson aske d him why he never started to drink and smoke like many other men. His answer was "Becaus e I had better sence and I knew it wasn't good for me." He told of working with a crew of me n while building the telephone lines from Vinita, Okla., to Ashland, Wisconsin. He said "Mos t of the other men would collect their pay checks each weekend and head for the nearest tow n to drink and gamble and by Monday morning they were broke, but I felt that my money was har d to earn so I mailed it to the bank instead." One of his grandsons inquired as to why he wa ited so long to get married. He answered "When I was a young man a couple would get marrie d and live with one set of parents for awhile and then go to live with the other set of paren ts. I made up my mind that I would not get married until I had a place to take my wife." Ma rtin helped to organize the Shell Creek School District in which he lived and helped to dra w up plans for the first school house and supervised its construction. He served on the scho ol board of trustees much of the time. For a short while when he was a young man he worked a t the first cement plant in Missouri. It was near Kansas City, Missouri and he saw the firs t paved street in Kansas City. He attended college in Clarksville, Arkansas at what is now T he College of the Ozarks in the late 1800's. He earned a teaching certificate and taught sch ool for 2 years in a rual district for $30.00 per month. After this he changed his employmen t to the Telephone Company. Mr. Martin was buried in Dustin Thursday, April 8. His funera l was at Dustin Baptist Church and Rev. D.C. Jackson officiated.

!BIO: It is believed that Orlando Martin, son of William Thomas Martin and Mary Ann (Bean) Ma rtin, was back at the Martin Family Farm on Red Lick Mountain and in Red Lick Township, (far m being about 8 miles north of Clarksville, Arkansas), attending the funeral of his Mother, M ary Ann (Bean) Martin, when he asked for the large picture we have of Margaret Martin. Orlan do Martin, upon returning home to his farm which was in McIntoch County, Oklahoma, 4 miles no rth of the small town of Hanna, Oklahoma, hung the picture of Margaret Martin in his bedroom . Mary Thelma (Martin) Moore Thomas, wanting her children to learn something of her family w ould take her children to Oklahoma on summer vacations now and then. As a child I, Don Marti n Thomas, remember seeing the picture of Margaret Martin in my Grand-father's bedroom. Sinc e his bedroom was dark all the time and in those days they never smiled in their pictures, al l of us grand-children used to think that she, Margaret Martin, was a witch. The darkness o f the bedroom and her scowling face picture seemed to make the room haunted and left us wit h a neat childhood memory. Sometime later when my mother went to the farm by herself, I aske d her if she would ask Grandpa if I could have the picture of Margaret Martin? I guess Mothe r had asked him because on another visit to the farm, my Grand-father said, "Mary, If Don sti ll wants that Picture he can have it." My mother then brought the picture of Margaret Marti n back to Salt Lake City, Utah, on a Trailways Bus, reminding the Bus Driver to not put any f reight on it every time the bus would stop for passengers and freight. Even though I was a c hild I picked up on the fact that my grand-father, Orlando Martin, held his grand-mother, Mar garet Martin, in the highest respect. Since my grand-father remembered seeiing her chop woo d at two years of age and going by wagon to her funeral at three years of age, and since he h eld so much respect for his grand-mother, I surmised that he had been told and knew of his gr and-mother's life history? I, Don Martin Thomas, have always been somewhat interested in his tory and decided at one time that I was going to find out why my grand-father, had held so mu ch respect for his grand-mother, Margaret Martin. I also had just spent $300.00 dollars to r estore the picture and original frame which gave me more of a fixation on her life and times . I wanted to know who she was and why only one extra large picture, when in those days ther e was usually a large picture of both the man and woman? I decided to go after anything I co uld find about Margaret Martin and maybe this way I could compile a history on her? In my at tempt to gather historical information I put a query in the Johnson County Historical Societ y Journal which led to "Sue" Webb, Mrs. Maria Sue (Johnson) Webb of Clarksville, Arkansas ans wering the query, and countless correspondence between her and myself about our mutual ancest ry. To date, Volume, "Margaret" Martin, and Volume, "Margaret" Jones, of these Martin Docum entation Histories of Margarette "Margaret" (Schrum) Jones Martin and Edmund T. Martin, i s a result of our wanting to know about Margaret Martin and the (Martian or Martain or Martin ) and Jones family lineage. - Information from the Martin Documentation Histories - Scott Co unty Historical & Genealogical Society, P.O.
