(special thanks to Christin Craig for the following info) - I found this article in The Anderson Intelligencer - Jan. 6, 1881. It is online at the Libary of Congress website. I thought you may like to add it to his memorial. Death of Col. John Martin Col. John Martin, one of the oldest and most prominent citizens of this County, died at his residence in Martin township on last Wednesday, after a lingering illness of several months. Col. Martin was born on the first day of September 1793, within half a mile of the place he resided at the time of his death. He received only a limited English education, but was naturally a man of strong mind and excellent judgment. He possessed great mechanical ingenuity, and could do anything in this line, although he never pursued it. As a young man he was very fond of hunting sports and in them became famous as one of the finest marksmen that this section has ever produced. He fought through the war of 1812 in Capt. Thompson's Company, and is believed to have been the last survivor of its members. He was a very popular man, and was very successful in elections. In 1832 he was chosen a member of the Legislature from this County. In 1836 be was elected Ordinary, and in 1846 and 1854 was elected Sheriff of the County. He always took great interest in the militia, and beginning as Captain of the Bear Creek Company he became Major of the First Battalion and afterwards Colonel of the old Fourth Regiment, which position he held for many years. fter the war, when the Commissioners were laying the County off into townships, they named the one in which he resided, Martin, for him. Col. Martin was always an active, benevolent, sociable man, and no one ever had warmer personal friends than he. He was upright and honorable in all of the transactions of life, and hence was respected by all who knew him. His remains were interred on Thursday in Ebenezer Church yard.
