Date
and Name of Publication missing
.James B. Martin died 28 Mar 1906. The following transcribed from original
newspaper clipping.
James
B. MARTIN
Death of J. B. MARTIN Jas. B. Martin, for many years a resident of Bookwalter, and later a resident of So. Solon, died last Wednesday morning (March 28, 1906) at the city hospital, Springfield, of a complication of diseases, aged 49 years. Mr. Martin was for several years engaged in the grocery business at Bookwalter and was the postmaster under Cleveland's administration. He is survived by a widow and six children. The remains were taken to his home on Fremond Avenue, and the funeral held at Clifton Avenue M.E. church last Friday morning, buried at Ferncliff Cemetary. His boyhood and young manhood was spent in his native place, where he secured a good education and acquired habits of industry, which characterized his life. April 24, 1881, he was married to Miss Annie F. SMITH. Six children were born to them - Earl, Carl, Ollie, Nellie, Raymond and Edith - all of whom are living, this being the first death in the home. After his marriage he lived in Bookwalter for 21 years. three years ago he moved to South Solon, where he lived for one year. For the past two years he had lived in Springfield. In early manhood, when 18 years of age, he united with the Methodist Episcopal Church at Wesley chapel. He sent for his and his wife's card a few weeks ago, and gave them to Rev. Curliss of the Clifton Avenue M.E. church, expressing as he did so hope that on the following Sunday he would be able to be at the service. God had planned it otherwise, and has now transferred from the church militant to the church triumphant above. He was always deeply interested in Sunday school work having served as superintendent for a number of years. Those who have known him longest testify to his earnest christian life. He loved music, especially the bright and cheerful songs. Number six in the new Sunday school hymnal was a favorite "-Come with Singing Praise the Lord Today". He often said during the last year: "I would like to do more in the church, but it just seems as though I can't". And we know now how he was battling against the dread disease that was taking his life. He was an honored member of the I.O.O.F. lodge in Jeffersonville for 15 years. His upright life and christian character made him a man who loved and respected by all who knew him. In the community where he lived so long his influence was manifest in everything that was for good. In his home he was a kind husband and father, devoted to his family. It was but natural that he should desire to live. He was in the prime of life; he had much to live for, but when it became apparent to him that he could not get well, he was resigned to his Fathe's will; there was no murmuring; the same father that had characterized his life was manifest in his death, and he could say with the apostle: "For me to live is Christ and to die is gain." The funeral was conducted by Rev. Homer Curliss and Rev. Mr. Keifer, at the Clifton Avenue M.E. church of Springfield and intermnet was made at Ferncliff Cemetery.
