           [320]

           WILLIAM MARTIN, farmer, section 25, Verona Township, has been a
        resident of this township since 1858, in which year his parents,
        GEORGE and REBECCA (PANGMAN) MARTIN, removed hither from Canada.
        His father bought the farm on which the son has lived nearly all
        his life, as he was but two years of age when the family took pos-
        session of the place.  It included 320 acres of land in a wild
        state, but is now in advanced cultivation and in a comparatively
        valuable condition, 200 acres being improved and arable. MR. MARTIN
        assisted his father in the management of the place until he was 20
        years of age, when he assumed entire charge and continued its
        management on shares five years. In 1881 he became its proprietor
        by purchase. Its location and general appearance is desirable, and
        it is supplied with good orchards, excellent farm buildings and
        fixtures generally. He was born in Scott, Ontario Co., Can., Oct.
        2, 1856.
           MR. MARTIN was married Nov. 13, 1877, in Tyre, Sanilac Co.,
        Mich., to ANNA RIED. Of this union three children have been born,
        on the farm, namely: NELLIE R., Oct. 1, 1878; HERBERT T., April,
        1880; WEALTHY, Dec. 24, 1881.  MRS. MARTIN was born Oct. 21, 1857,
        in Forestville, Sanilac Co., Mich., and is the daughter of TIMOTHY
        and WEALTHY (LAKE) RIED.
           MR. MARTIN is a member of the Masonic fraternity.
