Biographical Sketch of R. E. Martin, Johnson County, Missouri, Jackson Township.
From "History of Johnson County, Missouri," by Ewing Cockrell, Historical Publishing Company, Topeka, Cleveland, 1918.
R. E. Martin, a member of a well known and influential pioneer family of Johnson county, Missouri, is one of the prosperous and progressive farmers and stockmen of Jackson township. He was born in 1863 at the Martin homestead in Johnson county, a son of Joseph M. and Eliza (Hunter) Martin.
R. E. Martin's paternal grandfather came to Missouri
in a very early day and entered one hundred sixty acres of land from the government, a tract which was located in Johnson county. Joseph M. Martin came later and just in time to enter a tract of land from the government. He and Mrs. Martin came West immediately after their marriage and they with all their earthly possessions had plenty of
room in the one horse cart in which they came to Johnson county. Mr. Martin was poor, very poor, he had not one dollar capital, and during the first hard years while he was trying to get a start in the new western home he had to work as a hired laborer by the day in order to obtain food for his ten little ones. He built a small log cabin on
the farm and there all their children were born. Joseph M. and Eliza Martin were the parents of the following children: Mrs. Jane Star, of Kansas; J. P., of Oklahoma; Isaac, Liberty, Missouri; R. E., the subject of this review; and Reverend Monroe, a prominent pastor residing
in Pittsville, Missouri. Death has broken the family circle and five of the family of ten children are now deceased. The mother, Eliza (Hunter) Martin, was a daughter of David Hunter, an honored pioneer of Johnson county
In this most modest and humble way, the Martin's
began life in this county. In after years, when Mr. Martin had accumulated a comfortable competence, was the owner of two hundred acres of the choicest land and a pleasant country home, his financial rating in the business world assured, Mr. and Mrs. Martin were want to look back
in retrospection to the days spent within the four walls of their primitive dwelling as among their happiest experiences, for then the family circle was unbroken. The record of Joseph M. Martin is that of a man of enter and ambition who began life in the West under the embarrassing conditions which poverty entails and by his own unaided
efforts struggled upward from a lowly position to one of high standing in the community, a citizen honored and respected by all who knew him."

Biographical Sketch of R. E. Martin, Johnson County, Missouri, Jackson Township.
From "History of Johnson County, Missouri," by Ewing Cockrell, Historical Publishing Company, Topeka, Cleveland, 1918.
R. E. Martin, a member of a well known and influential pioneer family of Johnson county, Missouri, is one of the prosperous and progressive farmers and stockmen of Jackson township. He was born in 1863 at the Martin homestead in Johnson county, a son of Joseph M. and Eliza (Hunter) Martin.
R. E. Martin's paternal grandfather came to Missouri
in a very early day and entered one hundred sixty acres of land from the government, a tract which was located in Johnson county. Joseph M. Martin came later and just in time to enter a tract of land from the government. He and Mrs. Martin came West immediately after their marriage and they with all their earthly possessions had plenty of
room in the one horse cart in which they came to Johnson county. Mr. Martin was poor, very poor, he had not one dollar capital, and during the first hard years while he was trying to get a start in the new western home he had to work as a hired laborer by the day in order to obtain food for his ten little ones. He built a small log cabin on
the farm and there all their children were born. Joseph M. and Eliza Martin were the parents of the following children: Mrs. Jane Star, of Kansas; J. P., of Oklahoma; Isaac, Liberty, Missouri; R. E., the subject of this review; and Reverend Monroe, a prominent pastor residing
in Pittsville, Missouri. Death has broken the family circle and five of the family of ten children are now deceased. The mother, Eliza (Hunter) Martin, was a daughter of David Hunter, an honored pioneer of Johnson county
In this most modest and humble way, the Martin's
began life in this county. In after years, when Mr. Martin had accumulated a comfortable competence, was the owner of two hundred acres of the choicest land and a pleasant country home, his financial rating in the business world assured, Mr. and Mrs. Martin were want to look back
in retrospection to the days spent within the four walls of their primitive dwelling as among their happiest experiences, for then the family circle was unbroken. The record of Joseph M. Martin is that of a man of enter and ambition who began life in the West under the embarrassing conditions which poverty entails and by his own unaided
efforts struggled upward from a lowly position to one of high standing in the community, a citizen honored and respected by all who knew him."

Biographical Sketch of R. E. Martin, Johnson County, Missouri, Jackson Township.
From "History of Johnson County, Missouri," by Ewing Cockrell, Historical Publishing Company, Topeka, Cleveland, 1918.
R. E. Martin, a member of a well known and influential pioneer family of Johnson county, Missouri, is one of the prosperous and progressive farmers and stockmen of Jackson township. He was born in 1863 at the Martin homestead in Johnson county, a son of Joseph M. and Eliza (Hunter) Martin.
R. E. Martin's paternal grandfather came to Missouri
in a very early day and entered one hundred sixty acres of land from the government, a tract which was located in Johnson county. Joseph M. Martin came later and just in time to enter a tract of land from the government. He and Mrs. Martin came West immediately after their marriage and they with all their earthly possessions had plenty of
room in the one horse cart in which they came to Johnson county. Mr. Martin was poor, very poor, he had not one dollar capital, and during the first hard years while he was trying to get a start in the new western home he had to work as a hired laborer by the day in order to obtain food for his ten little ones. He built a small log cabin on
the farm and there all their children were born. Joseph M. and Eliza Martin were the parents of the following children: Mrs. Jane Star, of Kansas; J. P., of Oklahoma; Isaac, Liberty, Missouri; R. E., the subject of this review; and Reverend Monroe, a prominent pastor residing
in Pittsville, Missouri. Death has broken the family circle and five of the family of ten children are now deceased. The mother, Eliza (Hunter) Martin, was a daughter of David Hunter, an honored pioneer of Johnson county
In this most modest and humble way, the Martin's
began life in this county. In after years, when Mr. Martin had accumulated a comfortable competence, was the owner of two hundred acres of the choicest land and a pleasant country home, his financial rating in the business world assured, Mr. and Mrs. Martin were want to look back
in retrospection to the days spent within the four walls of their primitive dwelling as among their happiest experiences, for then the family circle was unbroken. The record of Joseph M. Martin is that of a man of enter and ambition who began life in the West under the embarrassing conditions which poverty entails and by his own unaided
efforts struggled upward from a lowly position to one of high standing in the community, a citizen honored and respected by all who knew him."

Biographical Sketch of R. E. Martin, Johnson County, Missouri, Jackson Township.
From "History of Johnson County, Missouri," by Ewing Cockrell, Historical Publishing Company, Topeka, Cleveland, 1918.
R. E. Martin, a member of a well known and influential pioneer family of Johnson county, Missouri, is one of the prosperous and progressive farmers and stockmen of Jackson township. He was born in 1863 at the Martin homestead in Johnson county, a son of Joseph M. and Eliza (Hunter) Martin.
R. E. Martin's paternal grandfather came to Missouri
in a very early day and entered one hundred sixty acres of land from the government, a tract which was located in Johnson county. Joseph M. Martin came later and just in time to enter a tract of land from the government. He and Mrs. Martin came West immediately after their marriage and they with all their earthly possessions had plenty of
room in the one horse cart in which they came to Johnson county. Mr. Martin was poor, very poor, he had not one dollar capital, and during the first hard years while he was trying to get a start in the new western home he had to work as a hired laborer by the day in order to obtain food for his ten little ones. He built a small log cabin on
the farm and there all their children were born. Joseph M. and Eliza Martin were the parents of the following children: Mrs. Jane Star, of Kansas; J. P., of Oklahoma; Isaac, Liberty, Missouri; R. E., the subject of this review; and Reverend Monroe, a prominent pastor residing
in Pittsville, Missouri. Death has broken the family circle and five of the family of ten children are now deceased. The mother, Eliza (Hunter) Martin, was a daughter of David Hunter, an honored pioneer of Johnson county
In this most modest and humble way, the Martin's
began life in this county. In after years, when Mr. Martin had accumulated a comfortable competence, was the owner of two hundred acres of the choicest land and a pleasant country home, his financial rating in the business world assured, Mr. and Mrs. Martin were want to look back
in retrospection to the days spent within the four walls of their primitive dwelling as among their happiest experiences, for then the family circle was unbroken. The record of Joseph M. Martin is that of a man of enter and ambition who began life in the West under the embarrassing conditions which poverty entails and by his own unaided
efforts struggled upward from a lowly position to one of high standing in the community, a citizen honored and respected by all who knew him."
