Robert Martin Cantonwine was the son of Abraham & Elizabeth (White) Cantonwine and the grandson of Charles & Mary Magdalena (Scholl) Cantonwine.
Charles, the patriarch of the Cantonwine family, immigrated to America from Prussia in 1806, arriving in Philadelphia, Penn., aboard the ship Orlando. The ship's passenger list shows Chr. Kuntentwine, single man. The name Kuntentwine later evolved to Cantonwine, and Charles appears to be the only surnamed Kuntentwine/ Cantonwine to immigrate to America. Eight or so years after his arrival in Philadelphia, in about 1814, Charles married Mary Magdalena Scholl, daughter of Charles Jacob Scholl, in Bedford county, Pennsylvania.
LONGMONT (BOULDER CO., CO) LEDGER, JANUARY 29, 1909
CANTONWINE-At his home on Bross street, Friday afternoon, Jan. 22 1909 of apoplexy, R. Martin Cantonwine, aged 52 years. Mr. Cantonwine's death was very sudden. He has been a night watch at the canning factory and came home Friday morning as usual and went to bed. His wife prepared the usual lunch and went to awaken him at 5:30 and found him dead. She had noticed his hard breathing a couple of hours before but thought it only because he was tired. Mr. Cantonwine was a plasterer by trade and has lived in Longmont a good many years. We all know him best as a marshal or constable, for he seemed to like that kind of work the best. Nothing pleased him so well as to capture a criminal. He was one of the few Republicans elected at the last election. Mr. Cantonwine was thrown from a buggy not long ago, and may have been injured more than he supposed. Funeral services were held at the residence conducted by Rev. Victor F. Brown.
