Donald, the youngest son of Joseph and Hannah (Munger) Martin and loving husband to Mary (Goldsmith) Martin, passed away in his Erwin home, the same farm he moved to as a child in 1946 and where he lived and worked his entire life except for his service tour. “Marty” learned his three “Rs” at Hartland 36, “a very fine country school,” before attending Erwin High School until his sophomore year. Donald worked at the Missouri River Dam and then John Morrell’s in Sioux Falls before entering the Army. Starting in February 1954, Donald completed a 20 month tour of duty in Korea and his GED. After his return, he studied farming at SDSU for a semester. In August 1956, Donald married Mary Goldsmith who was “sure lucky to meet (him)”. Beyond his 58 year marriage, Donald was surely fortunate to enjoy farming as well as many interests and hobbies. As a young man, his father-in-law frequently called him “the barefooted-ball-player from the House of David” for his shoeless softball performances. Donald enjoyed hunting and playing cards with friends, children, and grandchildren, yet he particularly adored fishing, especially with his grandkids and friends. One of his happiest accomplishments was winning a rifle in a fishing contest on Lake Madison. He also prized opportunities for refinishing furniture, collecting and fixing clocks, and finding bargains with, and for, his family and friends – who will treasure the times spent together. Donald is survived by his wife, Mary, and six children: Joseph Martin, Patrick Martin, Amy McGovern, Jackie Jensen, Lora Martin and Lisa Martin. He is also survived by his brother, Lyle Martin, seventeen grandchildren, and one great-grandson. He was preceded in death by his parents, Joseph and Hannah; his sister, Lila (Martin) Larson; and son, John.
