Death of the Founder of Martins
Ferry.
MARTIN's FERRY. O.. Jan. IL. 1875

MARTINS FERRY, o., Jan. II, 1876.
Last Saturday morning the sad news spread
through our town that Mr.. Ebenezer Martin
was dead, and wherever known it caused q
heartfelt sorrow, for in him we all knew we
had kind, true friend; and in years long
agone we loved to sit and listen to the stories
which have never grown old, with those
whose hearts beat responsive to the scenes and
trials of nearly century ago. Mr.. Martin
was son of Absalom Martin; an officer of
the United States Army one hundred years
ago; his mother, a daughter of Col. Ebenezer
Zane, of whom7our local history speaks of as
being brave and noted borderer, who came
out to the present site of Wheeling in ITO.
Mr.. Martin was born in the year of 1891, in a
log cabin or block house, near where the
building of the Steel Works now stand, in the
extreme upper end of our town, far above and
below the rude humble cabin of his father, was
stretched out the finest sugar camp ever known
in Eastern Ohio, the ground over which, now
quite four thousand people are busy with
work. Here quite near the bank of the Ohio
river (nothing like It's now was born the first
white child of the place, and with plain,
yet eventful boyhood grew up to manhood
that thousands now love to look back upon
with pride. Taught from his earliest infancy
the Golden Rule tits no wonder now that to-
day many gray-haired men wept oyer bis
grave and thought good, kind friend had
gone from among them. About 1915 his
father built a log house little further down
the river, Qhe property is now owned by Mr..
Charles Swartz,) about a hundred feet below
the Glass House landing, where Capt A.
Martin had ferry, a rude flat boat propelled
with oars or polls, and here for many years
Mr.. E. Martin lived, always entertaining all
who came to him with freedom and kind
ness that was never forgotten by either white
or red man.
For many years this part Of the county was
but sparsely settled, there being at this time
not over dozen families north of Wheeling
creek, in what is now Pease township. There
was a block house at Kirkwood just below
the, mouth of the creek and one across the
river (Fort Henry about which there was
quite population-then considered. The hill
part of our town was then dense forest--the
home Of the bear, the deer, and turkey, and
life TO him was as long summer day. His
home and generosity was known far and
wide, and the red man, squaw and pspoose
were as welcome to his table as were the
noted. borderers, Mceullaughs or Zanes. For
long years he owned the Ferry, and was
brought into. contact with many of whose
names are associated with the rise and pro-
gress of the county. About 1S35-or SO he
laid out the town which has borne his name
ever since In 1884, almost half century
ago, he buried his wife out among the little
walnut bushes, scarcely hundred yards from
where he was born. Yet, now, and for long
years the home of the dead has been known
as Walnut Grove. The trees have grown a.
forest trees, and the moses of forty years

just now, owing to difficulty which arose
between the school teacher, Mr.. S. N. Bent

severe. The Board of Directors consisting of

they had hearing of the case at the School
house, with what result we are not advised.
