Mrs. E. J. Martin, in Dallas, Tex., after an illness of a few days. He was a Christian
gentleman of the old school-kind, gentle, quiet, loving, patient, helpful, and
intelligent. He never married, making his home with his only sister, whom he
reverenced and loved devotedly. One of his favorite themes was his experience in the

born in 1838, near Kingston, in the old Colonial home at South West Point inherited
by his mother and which had been in the family for over one hundred years. At the
