MARTIN !
DIES IN FRANCE
Was in U. S. Army "Over There"
And Died of Pneumonia.
Well Known Here.

Wilson Upshur Martin, only son of
the late Edward d. Martin and Nan
ME Wilson Martin. of Baltimore, and
grandson of the late United States
Senator Ephraim X. Wilson, of Snow
Hill, died of pneumonia in France on
October oath. Official announcement
of his death was made to his guard
ian, Hon. George NJ. Upshur by tcle-
graph on Thursday of this week.
Wilson L. Martin was born Deccm-
Der sth. 1898, and was not quite 90
years old. When the United States
entered the war he was a student at
st. Johns College, Annapolis. Al
though he had not reached his major
ity he had an ardent longing to get
in the war. Accordingly, he enlisted
in the spring Of last year, in hospi
tai unit at Fort MclIcnry, Baltimore.
In July he was detailed for service
overseas. and was sent with his unit
to France.
His letters to his relatives here
came with enough frequency to keep
them informed of his whereabouts
and his well-being. until about two
weeks ago. when letters were re-
ceivcd announcing his serious illness
of pneumonia One of the communi-
cations was from his nurse, who held
out but little hope of his recovery.
The other was from Private Mar
tin. and both bore the date of October
23rd, the day before he died. These
letters. in measure. prepared his
relatives for gravcr news. ncverthc-
less when the message came announc-
ing his death, the shock was felt by
all who knew him.
Private Wilson Martin, and Private
Ara j. Bowen. whose death is noted
elsewhere in The Messenger. died in
the service of their country, and in
making the supreme sacrifice while
in the performance of their patriotic
duty, they have joined that large
band of patriots. whose names will be
handed down to the immortal ages.
and whose fame will endure forever.
