Description	:	In 1908, Martin married Annie Gertrude Snoots, my Aunt Gertie, the eldest sister of my great-grandfather. By early 1910, he had the marriage annulled. Her family apparently threatened him with great bodily harm and death and held him hostage until he married her, and continued to make his life miserable afterwards.

By early 1910, he had the marriage annulled. Her family apparently threatened him with great bodily harm and death and held him hostage until he married her, and continued to make his life miserable afterwards. By 1912, Martin had moved on with his life. He was living near Brunswick, working for the B&O Railroad and engaged to a young lady from Rohrersville. Sadly, while returning home with a friend, J.H. Boyer, one night from Harpers Ferry, the buggy in which they were riding was struck in the rear by a fast-moving passenger train. The tracks there were set up in such a way it was hard to see trains coming until they were right on top of you. Mr. Boyer escaped with some broken ribs, but Martin was thrown over 60 feet and instantly killed, his skull fractured. He was only 23. Martin was survived by his parents William and Clara Beachley Koogle, siblings Ernest, Paul, Clarence and Bessie Koogle and Bettie Williams. By a strange coincidence, one day Bettie's son Noel would marry a cousin of Aunt Gertie's, Lorraine Snoots, and they have been happily married 54 years. It was Lorraine who told me about Martin.
