Read More	Peter A. Martens was born in the village Elizabeththal, South Russia, on March 12, 1873, and departed from this life September 14, 1927 in a hospital in Kansas City, Mo., at the age of 54 years, 6 months, and 2 days. When a lad of 2 years he came with his parents to America locating in Reno County near the present site of Buhler. In the year 1894 he was baptized upon confession of his faith in the Hebron Church and remained a member of that Church until 1922, when he transferred his Church membership to the First Mennonite Church, Newton. In May, 1897, he was married to Katherine Fehdrau, to which union were born 2 sons and 2 daughters, all of whom with his bereaved widow and 1 grandchild survive him. Besides these, five brothers, six sisters, and many friends and relatives remain to mourn his loss. For ten years he lived on a farm 7 miles northeast of Moundridge and then moved to Buhler with his family, where for three years he was engaged in the banking business. Taking charge of the Ford Agency at Newton he came to reside here with his family in April 1910 and for 3 years became the very able president of the Martens Motor Co. In 1923 he retired from business because of failing health and has not been well since. Neither a change of climate nor the best of care or the skill of physicians could bring about permanent relief. Especially fast has his health failed since the first of the year, so that on Sept. 14 at one o'clock the hour of relief came and he was permitted to go home to be with the Lord. Funeral services were held at the First Mennonite church of Newton, Monday afternoon. Obit provided by Adalbert Goertz
