Wm. Martin
Died at his home two miles east of Gower, Mo., April 20th, 1900. Bro. Martin was stricken with paralysis early Thursday morning, from which he never recovered dying 24 hours later. He was born in Kentucky April 20th, 1834, but soon moved to Missouri where he spent the greater part of his life. In early days he was engaged in the freighting business across the western plains, and was entrusted with important charges which he carried out with credit. Uncle Billy, as he was called by many of his friends, was converted and joined the Missionary Baptist Church at the age of twenty years and lived and grew stronger in the faith as the days went by, dying at the age of 66 years. His convictions of justice was firm and seldom changed. His dealings were upright with his fellowmen, and was more willing to give than receive. The influence of his life will be left and long remembered by those with whom he came in contact, and the world is better by his living in it. He leaves to mourn their loss his faithful companion, four sons, three daughters, all of whom were present and attended the funeral except Lee, who lives at Cripple Creek, Colo.

"Uncle Billie" Martin as every one called him was born in Buchanan county and has spent the greater portion of his life in that county and Clinton, and was a man that was held in high esteem by his acquaintances which was quite large on account of his long residence among us. He leaves to mourn his demise a wife and eight children, to whom the Leader extends sympathy.
