THE LATE ROBERT MARTIN
Robert Martin died Friday morning at his home, 19 Mill street, Plains, of complications. He was born at Coxho, County Durham, England, July 23, 1844
Mr. Martin at the age of 18 enlisted as a private at Pottsville, Pa., in Co. 1, 38th Pa. Regt Veteran Volunteers, Army of Potomac, under Capt. Francis D. Rock. He was in the battles of Bull Run, Petersburg, Fredericksburg, Wilderness and Spotsylvania, and others. After serving three years in the Civil War, he was honorably discharged.
He was brought to this country by his parents, George and Mary Slater Martin, when one year old. The family settled in Locus Dale, Schuylkill Co., living there about twenty years. From there they moved to Shickshinny, finally locating in Plains. He was in charge of the sinking of the D. & H. shaft at Hudson when that was first opened and was in the employ of that company until seventeen months ago. He was an expert miner and his advice was sought by many inexperienced miners and even foremen.
