L. G.  MARTIN

L. G. Martin, the eldest son of Dillie Martin, was born in Marshall 
county, October 13, 1833.  After he became of age he enlisted in 
mercantile pursuits, at Rosby's Rock and was the first agent 
appointed by the B. & O. railroad company at this station.  He was 
engaged in business until twenty years after, when he engaged in 
various occupations until 1878, after which he farmed until 1883.  
Then going to Winfield, Kas., with his family, he remained a year, 
and has since then been engaged in various enterprises at 
Moundsville.  About 1850, he was taken with disease, which 
necessitated the amputation of a limb in 1886.  Mr. Martin was 
married in April, 1860, to Mary L., daughter of Jesse and Lucinda 
Neff, former residents of Belmont county, Ohio, and residents of 
Marshall county, W.Va., since 1847.  Six children have been born to 
this union:  Estella I., a teacher of twelve years' experience, and a 
musician of skill, now in the Benwood high school, and organist of 
the Methodist Episcopal church; C. Bell, Jessie L., M. Blanche, 
Archie T., and Lillie.  Parents and children are members of the 
Methodist Episcopal church, and he is a member of the Masonic order 
and in politics, a prohibitionist.
