"Mr. Dennison has a war record of which any veteran might feel proud. On September 8, 1864, he enlisted at Jackson, Michigan, in Capt. Tanner's Company K, (later commanded by Captain Thomas J. Conley), Ninth Regiment, Michigan Volunteer Infantry, Colonel W. W. Duffield. The regiment was at once ordered to report to General Thomas, at Atlanta, Georgia, at that time engaged in pursuit of General Hood's Confederate forces. Among the engagements participated in by this division were the battles of Chickamauga and Nashville, and following this the regiment continued in the south until the close of the war, being discharged in June, 1865, and paid off at Nashville. Mr. Dennison's record was creditable to him in every way, and at all times he had the esteem of his comrades and the respect of his officers. Martin Dennison was born in Niagara county, New York, July 26, 1844, and is a son of James C. Dennison, a farmer of Seneca county, New York. His paternal grandfather was a native of England, while the grandfather on the maternal side, Jacob Deharsh, was a soldier during the War of 1812, and his mother, Margaret, was born on a farm in New York. The maternal great-grandfather was George VanSlyke, who
served as a soldier (during the Revolutionary war. The Dennison family migrated from New York to Michigan in 1854, settling in the woods of Monroe county, where they proceeded to clear a home. There they spent the remainder of their lives, the widow surviving her husband for some
years and passing away at the age of eighty-seven, one of the best known ladies of her county. She and her husband were firm adherents of the Methodist faith, and were the parents of five sons: John, Jacob, Joseph, Charles and Martin.
Martin Dennison received his education in the public schools of Niagara county, New York, and Monroe county, Michigan, and was twenty years of age when he enlisted for service in the Union army. On his return from his military career, he was married to Mrs. Mary J. (Webster) Riley, widow of Bernard Riley, a soldier of the Ninth Michigan Volunteers, who met his death at the hospital at Chattanooga and was buried in the National Cemetery there. He left three children,
viz: Gertrude, who died as a baby; Catherine, who passed away at the age of seventeen years; and James D., a resident of Milan township. Mrs. Dennison was born on the farm on which she now lives, a daughter of Kilburn and Rose (Johnson) Webster, the former a native of Ashtabula county, Ohio, and the latter of the Emerald Isle. Mr. and Mrs. Webster had two children: Mrs. Itannah Henderson, and Mrs. Dennison. To Mr. and Mrs. Dennison there have been born four children, namely: John; Mrs. Frances Auten; Charles and Elwood. Mr. Dennison is engaged in carrying on general farming and stock raising, and has made a decided success of all of his ventures. He has his land in a high state of cultivation, with flourishing fields of grain and good meadow pasture land. His modern seven-room residence, which is tastefully furnished, is surrounded by shade trees and a finely kept lawn. In addition to other substantial structures he has two modern barns, 30x46 feet and 20x28 feet, respectively. A man of the most hospitable nature, Mr. Dennison's latch-string always hangs out, and he at all times welcomes his numerous friends with sincere pleasure." (History of Monroe County, page 713.)
His siblings were: John, Jacob, Joseph, and Charles. Martin married Mary Jane Webster. Martin served in the Civil War as a private on the Union side, 9th MI infantry, Co. K.
