Martin Family in the Pine Grove Cemetery Charlton, NY

The Martin Family "In 1844, James Martin purchased this 10 acre farm from his brother-in-law Thomas Riley. The farm has been in the Martin family for 127 years, and is listed as a Century Farm. Emmett Martin (grandson of James Martin), a lifelong Democrat, held the position of Superintendant of Highways in 1925. In those days a man was chosen not by his politics, but whether he was the best man for the job. Keeping the roads pasable was most important in the minds of the towns-people, and still is." --from Charlton House-letters, Editor fjl, #68 - Jockey St.
