Wiley and Ellen T. McManus. He had blue eyes and brown hair according to the WWI Draft Registration. On September 20, 1921, he married Leona R. Kafer in Littleport, Iowa. For awhile Martin and Leona Wiley farmed near Littleport, until a train killed their milk cows. Evidently the cows got loose and were on the tracks when the train went by. The loss of the cows led to bankruptcy. They lived with Grandma Kafer for awhile after that. Later, Martin worked at the Asylum until he couldn't work anymore. Leona and Martin Wiley had five children: Cletus Martin, Gerald Janarius, Irene Rosella Rene, Marian Kathryn, and Kenneth Paul. In the 1930 Census, it suggests that they were relatively well off. Martin worked as a farmer, and he had a lodger living with them as well as a servant. In the 1940 Census it says that Martin completed 4 years of High School. It also lists Martin's occupation as a construction worker. Martin died on January 13, 1960, in Littleport, Iowa. He is buried with his wife in Sacred Heart Cemetery.
