~ Union Veteran of the Civil War: Pvt., Cpl, & Sgt., Co. I, 15th New Jersey Inf. ~

Martin D. Kintner was born on July 12, 1838, in Walpack Township, Sussex Co., NJ [alternatively, some records state he was born in nearby Dingmans Ferry, Pike Co., PA]. He was the third of nine children born to Peter Kintner and Amanda Decker. The 1850 U.S. Census shows Martin, age 11, and his family resided in Sandyston, Sussex Co., NJ. His father's occupation was listed as "miller." The 1860 U.S. Census shows Martin, age 21, living with his parents and four of his siblings in Stillwater, Sussex Co., NJ Martin's occupation was shown as "tailor," with his personal estate recorded as being worth $200.

After the outbreak of the Civil War, Martin D. Kintner enlisted as a Private on August 12, 1862, and was mustered into Co. I, 15th New Jersey Infantry on August 25, 1862. On August 27, 1862, the 15th N.J. Infantry departed for Washington, D.C., and upon arriving, encamped at Tennallytown, where it remained for about a month while constructing Fort Kearny. The 15th New Jersey Infantry would then go on to participate in the Battle of Fredericksburg, the Battle of Chancellorsville, the Battle of Gettysburg, where the regiment was not actively engaged in combat, the Bristoe and Mine Run Campaigns, the Battle of the Wilderness, the Battle of Spotsylvania Court House, specifically in the assault on the Bloody Angle, the Battle of Cold Harbor, the Third Battle of Winchester, the Battle of Fisher's Hill, the Battle of Cedar Creek, and the Battle of Appomattox Court House.

Martin Kintner was promoted to the rank of Corporal on June 25, 1863, and later to Sergeant on September 1, 1864. On June 22, 1865, he was mustered out with his regiment at Halls Hill, Virginia.

After the conclusion of the war, Kintner moved to, Newton, Sussex Co., NJ, where he continued working as a tailor and opened his own shop. In Newton, on July 27, 1865, Martin D. Kintner, aged 27, married Harriet A. Walker, aged 39. The two were married for almost 11 years, when Harriet died on June 15, 1876. On July 9, 1878, in Stroudsburg, Monroe County, Pennsylvania, Martin Kintner, aged 38, married his second wife, Anne E. Dolson, aged 28. Kintner seems to have two daughters, as he and his second wife are listed on the 1880 U.S. Census as living at 49 Trinity Street in Newton with his two sons-in-law, William Dolseon, aged 23, and Eugene Dolson, aged 18. However, his daughters are not listed on the census or in any further records, and which of Kintner's wives was their mother is also unknown.

The 1900 U.S. Census listed Kintner, aged 61, as still residing in Newton, working as a tailor and living with his wife, his nephew, Floyd Knight, and two boarders. The 1910 Census shows Kintner and his wife in Newton with one boarder at their residence. The 1920 Census shows Kintner, aged 81, as living with Anne and still working as a tailor. However, it seems he had closed his shop and was now working out of his own home.

Martin D. Kintner died in March 1929 in Newton at the age of 90. He was buried in Newton Cemetery alongside his first wife, Harriet, and his second wife, Anne, was buried next to both of them after her death in January 1930.
