He lived with his sister Annie M. and her husband Joseph Wright McClelland until his marriage in 1885 to Ella Lucretia Clark in Owego, New York. She was a telegrapher for the Erie Railroad in Union and Western Union in Owego and the youngest of ten children of Ezeckial Hyde and Nancy Williams Clark. Martin and Ella had three children: Mary Letitia (1886), Julian Martin (1887) and Robert Clark (1896), all born in Fullerton. Martin was born in 1847 in Brower's Corner, Ashtabula county, Ohio; grew to manhood in Pontiac, Illinois; was graduated from Lombard College, Galesburg, Illinois in 1871 after which he "read Law" with Judge Payson of Ottawa, Illinois. He was appointed Master of Chancery in Illinois and was admitted to the practice of law in the Nance County Bar in 1884. In Fullerton he had a law practice and was an abstractor but his main interest and source of income was that of a loan agent for New York and Illinois friends at 2 1/2% commission. He was elected to one term as Nance county judge for the Populist party. Although the top votegetter on the Prohibitionist party's slate of candidates, he twice was defeated as the party's candidate for Nebraska Attorney General in 1880 and 1892. In 1900 the Fullerton National Bank was organized with Martin Brower installed as its president, mainly because of his large clientele of private loan customers. Eventually acquiring majority control of the Bank, he continued as president until his death in 1920, when his son Julian succeeded as president and son Robert, vice president of the Fullerton National. Also living with the Browers were Ella's two maiden sisters, Frances and Lucy Clark. They did the housekeeping and cooking, enabling Ella to devote her time to the causes of the WCTU and the Prohibitionist party. Frances and Luch died in 1934 while Ella lived until 1942.
