Mr.. Martin had the distinction of
being one of the first drivers employed
by the DUPONT Powder Company to
haul powder to Marcus Hook and
other points in Pennsylvania, including
Harrisburg. He also had the distinc-
tion Of having met, at the age of nine
years. while returning from school with
some other children. General Lafayette,
of revolutionary fame, and shaking
hands with him
When the Civil War broke out Mr.
Martin enlisted in the cause of the
7 North, as did three of his sons. Joseph
e., Irene and Benjamin. The last
named of the three was killed in bat
tie. The others are living and re-
side in Wilmington.
There was probably no greater fox
hunter in Delaware than Mr. Martin
aud probably none who knew as much
| about fox HUNTING as he did. In his
younger days he had his own mounts
and followed the hounds with much
pleasure. In later years. however, when
age prevented him from riding horse
back. he would follow the hounds in a
! carriage. Sometimes his excitement
| of the sport became TO keen that he
would tie his horse to a tree and fol-
low the hounds on foot.
A Republican in politics. Mr.. Martin
was elected by that party as the sheriff
of this county in 1882, defeating Purnai
III. Lynch, the Democratic candidate
by nine votes. His first vote for Presi-
dent was cast for William Henry Har.
