M. H. MARTIN was born in Washington County, Ind., April 15, 1839, being the
sixth of a family of ten children, born to Stephen and Nancy (Hiestand)
Martin.  The father was a native of Kentucky, from which State he immigrated
to Indiana at an early day.  The mother was a native of Virginia and came to
Indiana in about the year 1818.  The subject of this sketch had limited
facilities for schooling, but by his energy succeeded in securing a fair
education.  His youth was passed at hard work.  He remained home with his
parents until he attained his twenty-third year.  On December 22, 1861, his
marriage with Margaret Greene was solemnized and to this union have been
born five children, all living:  Annora, Arthur S., Oliver T., Lettie F. and
Lois A.  In politics he is Republican and is by occupation a farmer and
stock-trader.  His life has thus far been one of honor and usefulness.  He
is a man of liberal and broad views and takes an appreciative interest in
public affairs.
