JU06e .1o.lN N. MARTIN LAID TO RESI-

Dies Saturday After l;aser;ae Illaess
Of Caecer Of tho liver.
In the death Of Judge John n.
Martin at the family residence on
Maple street on Saturday afternoon
last Virgins not only loses a good
citizen bat St. Louis county loses
one of it's brightest minds-a man
whose noble thoughts and gentle
spirit had gathered to him host of
friends wherever his lot had been
cast, and who join in mourning the
memory OF one whose every thought
wac pure. and whose every act wac
measured and tempered with jus.
tice.
Judge Martin was born at Ocean
Springs, Miss, on August rs, 1851,
his father, u prominent barrister of
the south, having summer home
ut that place. Following in the
footsteps of his ancestor Judge Mar.
tin took up the study of law at an
early age, graduating from the Co.
lumbi University of Law, now
the George Washington College at
Washington, D. c., and later from
the law department of Douglas Un.
iversity, now known as the North
western University at Evanston, III.
In 1881 he came to Minnesota when
but thirty years of age, and settled
at Ada, being prominently. ideuti-
fed in the earlier history Of Nor.
man county, of which he was pro
bate judge two terms. During his
residence there he was president of
the village of Ada for eight consec.
utive terms, being elected for the
ninth term and resignin9 because
of his removal from the town.
In 1890 he came to West Duluth,
of which city he was mayor two
terms, being mayor at the time of
the merging of West Duluth az a
portion of the city of Duluth, prop.
er. During his administration Of
the affairs of that city he made an
enviable record for notable i'm
provements in many departments
of municipal government, and issu-
ed many edicts showing the hu-
manity of his nature.
With his family he removed 10
this city some six years ago, where
he has ever been prominent in mat
ters of q public nature, and where
his bright mind and kindly manner
won for him hosts of friends, az vac
best exemplified, perhaps, by the
numbers who, through attendance
at the funeral rites, bore mute at
testation to the esteem in which
they held his valued friendship.
Funeral services were conducted
from Our Lady Of Lourdes Church
yesterday morning, the Rev. James
Hogan officiating, aud paying due
tribute to the memory OF the DE-
ceased. The song service in con-
nection was under the direction of
Mies Murphy. Solemn Requiem
High Mass being sung by the choir,
an offertory colo, "Oh, Grave, Where
is Thy Victory" being rendered by
Miss Bessie Murphy, and "Asham-
ed of Chstst being sung by the
Misses Murphy during the Com
muniou Service. Iuterment wac
made in Calvary cemetery, the re-
mains being followed to their last
rest by large uumber of friends,
the pall.bearers being from the bar
Of the range, among whom the de-
ceased was held In high esteem.
Judge Martin ie survived by a
widow aud four children, Dennis,
Who arrived home too late to see his
father alive, Lulu, Warwick snd
Maurice, aud to them in their hour
Of grief 10 extended the sympathy
of all.
