Martin--Sebastian Martin was born in Switzerland in 1801, and died at the home of his daughter Mrs. John Hoover, December 11, 1890, aged 89 years and 6 days. He was a faithful member of the Old German Baptist Church, and a kind and loving father and grandfather. He had been living with his children for thirteen years, but mostly with us. He always made it his duty to attend church as often as possible, although very feeble the last few years of his life. During his sickness of about three months he was always in a gentle ?mind. He leaves nine children, four sons and five daughters, to mourn their loss, which, I hope ?brings eternal gain. His wife preceded him to the better land almost twenty-two years ago. Two of his children, Mrs. Peter Voight and Mr. John Martin, reside in ?Kansas. Although it is hard to ?give up our loved ones, we mourn ?? as those who have no hope ?? we all have the promise of ?meeting them if we but live ??thful. Just three weeks after his death, we had to give up our dear father, whose death was published in the January number of the Vindicator. His Grand-daughter, Miss Ola Bailey.
