son-in-law, Samuel c. Partridge, on Haste
street, comes as great shock to the many
friends OF the veteran physician and legis-
lator. DR.. Martin had served in both of
the State executive bodies for the greater
part OF the last twenty-five years, and at
the last session of the Senate, though
nearly rs years Of age, he made one of the
strongest fights for the rights of his con-
stituents during his entire public career.
He came to California in 1852, landing
az San Diego On July of that year. The
Senator spent few years in mining at
Little York and Red Dog, but not meeting
with the greatest success at it turned his
attention 10 the study OF medicine.
For tie last twenty-five years he prac-
riced at Dutch Fiat, and was known
throughout the northern part of Cali
fornia. His practice extended over q dis
trict in radius about twenty miles. and he
kept up his active work until about a wear
ago, when he was stricken with heart
failure, from which nalady he finally
expired.
Dr.. Martin was warm friend of Senator
George G. Perkins, and when the latter
ran Tor the United States Senate for the
hrst time, DR.. Martin, though q Democrat
for over half century, turned from the
paths OF Democracy and supported SEN
ator Perkins. believing that ne was the
only candidate suited for the position at
that time.
DR.. Martin was visiting his daughters
Mrs. Sam G. Partridge and Mrs. John a.
Mcclure, In Berkeley when his death oc-
CURED. De came down from Dutch Flat
Placer County, abou: week ago to cele-
brate his birthday in Berkeley, as had
been his custom for several wears mast
He was 20 last Friday. DR.. Martin was
born in New York, August q, 1870.
