Ewing McCleary MARTIN (1856-1898)
SMITHFIELD, Nov 25 — The funeral of Ewing Martin, who died at a Philadelphia hospital on Nov.20, took place here yesterday. Mr. Martin had a large growth taken from his stomach on last Saturday and died Sunday night from the effects of the operation. The remains were taken to the late home at Morgantown, whence they were brought on Wednesday evening on the B&O railroad to the home of his father-in-law, E.W. Field. At 11 o'clock yesterday a large number of friends and a delegation of Odd Fellows from the lodge here and some from the Fairchance and Morgantown gathered here at the Field home to escort the funeral procession to the Baptist Church, where services were very impressive. Rev. Dr. P.B. Reynolds of the West Virginia University, who had lived for several years as a next door neighbor to Mr. Martin, spoke at length on the character of the deceased as a citizen, a good neighbor and a Christian gentleman. No higher tribute could be given to any man than Dr. Reynolds eloquently gave Mr. Martin.
Mr. Martin was the son of the late James Martin of this township and was about 43 years old. He married Miss Emma, daughter of E.W. Field, and a few years ago they removed to Morgantown where he was employed in the mechanical department of the state university.
He is survived by his wife two sons and four daughters; also by three brothers, John and Frank of this county and James of McKeesport; also by his mother and one sister, Mrs. James Huhn of this place.
MARTIN, Ewing M., of this place died in Philadelphia, Pa., Sunday evening November 20th, no doubt from the effects of a surgical operation which he had undergone on Saturday. For a number of years past, Mr. Martin had suffered from an abdominal tumor that had affected his general health and rendered him unable to attend to business. Once before he had spent some time in a Philadelphia hospital and seemed to benefitted somewhat, but of late he grew worse and in about the middle of the week he returned to that city to have the tumor removed. The operation was preformed on Saturday and the patient seemed to be getting along well. On Sunday a telegram came to Mrs. Martin saying he had taken a turn for the worse and on Monday morning another announcing that his death occurred at 9 p.m. Sunday evening.
The remains will be brought home for burial, the interment taking place at Smithfield, PA, where he formerly lived. Mr. Martin was an excellent man, esteemed by all who knew him. He was a wood worker by trade and was employed for a long time by the firm of Fairchild, Lawhead & Company.
He leaves his wife and six children who reside in Sunnyside where they have considerable property. Deceased was a member of the Odd Fellows encampment here and the lodge at Smithfield. Expressions of universal regret are heard on all hands at his death. His age was about 48 years

Clairton Boy is Strangled
Tragedy Blasts Couple's Plans for Baby's Christmas.
A Clairton couple's plans for their only son's first Christmas were blasted by
tragedy yesterday.
The boy, J. Wallace Martin, Jr., eight months old, who was just learning to crawl,
was found dead - his head wedged between a wall and a bed on which he had been
placed to sleep.
The accident occurred in the home of his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Mohney,
of 227 Massachusetts Ave., Wilson district, Clairton.
Surrounded by pillows, Wallace had been placed on the bed while Mrs. Mohney and
her daughter, Mrs. J. Wallace Martin, of New England Hollow, were laundering
in the basement.
Wallace is believed to have awakened and crawled toward the wall next to the
bed. Marks from his shoes on the newly-painted wall, indicated that he
had amused himself by kicking his feet against it. The kicking may have
caused the bed, set on a linoleum rug, to move from the wall.
The child's body slipped into the narrow opening between the bed and the wall.
His chin caught on the bed rail, pressing his head against the wall.
The tragedy was discovered by his grandmother, when she tip-toed to the room
to see her grandson.
A physician who was called said the position of the child's head had forced the
windpipe to close - making an outcry impossible.
Besides his parents and grandparents, the boy is survived by his mother, Mrs.
? Perry. Funeral services will be held from the Mohney residence tomorrow, at
2 p.m., with the ? Adam E. Simon officiating.

Obituary Thursday Morning November 28, 1878 Franklin Independence
Died at his residence this city on Monday morning, 7th instant, Dr. J. O. Martin,
aged 57 years
Dr. James O. Martin, the subject of this sketch was born in Fayette County, Pennsylvania,
on the 15th day of January 1821, and died in this city, on Monday morning last,
at 3:30 o'clock. The first few years of his early manhood were spent in teaching
school, but not feeling this calling congenial to his taste, he turned his attention
to the study of dentistry, choosing for his preceptor, Dr. Ullery of Rising Sun,
in this state. During his pupilage with Dr. Ullery, he formed the acquaintance
of Miss. Charity Denton to whom he was united in marriage on the first day of
May 1849. Shortly after his marriage, he returned to his native state, located
at Dunbar where he engaged in the practice of dentistry until 1852, when he came
again to this state and settled at Franklin to continue the practice of his profession.
As a dentist he had few superiors in the state and being blessed with a cheerful,
social nature he soon drew around him a large circle of friends and succeeded
in building up a large and remunerative practice, in which he continued actively
until about five months ago, when stricken down by that terrible disease known
as Bright's Disease of the kidneys. Though assured by his physicians that his
disease would prove fatal, so disposed was he to look on the bright side of everything,
that he remained hopeful until within a few days of his death.
For the sake of his family and business interests, which, during his illness
and the financial pressure, had become seriously embarrassed, he was anxious
to live; but when fully convinced he could not recover, he talked freely of death,
and expressed even a desire to depart and be with Christ.
His sufferings were intense, but borne with a Christian fortitude seldom witnessed,
until about 3:30 o'clock on Monday morning January 7th, when, after all had been
done that medical skill and loving hearts could suggest, death came and put an
end to his sufferings.
The funeral services were held on Tuesday at two o'clock in the Presbyterian
church with an impressive and appropriate sermon by the Pastor, Rev. William
Torrance, from John XIV:2, at the close of which, the remains were conveyed to
the cemetery and buried by the Masonic Fraternity, services being conducted by
I.J. Armstrong.

A very sad accident occurred at “Nigger Hall” on Wednesday morning. Mary Martin, the four-year-old daughter of James and Lydia Martin, was burned to death in her parent’s home. When found, the flames had already burned the clothing from the child’s body and seared her flesh so badly that she was almost unrecognizable.
The circumstances of the fatal accident are particularly sad. The mother had left he little one in a room and gone out to attend a sick woman who lived in a house nearby. She was not gone very long, when she returned to find that her charitable errand had resulted so disastrously for her own little one. When she entered the room where the child had been left, she was almost crazed with grief to see her lying upon the floor. Life was then entirely extinct.
It is supposed that the child went too close to the open grate during the absence of its mother and that its clothing caught fire. No alarm was heard by the neighbors, and as there was no other person in the room, the mother knew nothing of the accident until she came into the house. James Martin is employed by the H. C. Frick Coke Company at Davidson works and lives in house No. 76. The remains of the unfortunate child were interred in Hill Grove Cemetery yesterday morning.
Melvin James MARTIN (1908-1991)

Born in Dunbar Pennsylvania, August 2, 1908, the son of James Alexander Martin and Ella Ann Neighbors Martin. A graduate of Uniontown High School in 1928 he chose to follow his dream of Aircraft development. Mr. Martin was a retired employee of the Martin Marietta Aircraft Company. He began his career with the company at the opening of WWII making the move from Uniontown to Baltimore, Maryland in 1941. An aeronautical engineer he was assigned to the Company's school for the crews of the new Martin seaplane the PBM, teaching them higher weight and balance. He also served as a trouble shooter for the PBM and flew all over the combat zone to make repairs.
Following the war he returned to the private sector to act as manager of the Eastern Venetian Blind Factory in Baltimore. Eventually his love of flight drew him back to the Old Glenn L. Martin Aircraft Company. In 1956 he was transferred to the new plant just opening in Orlando, Florida. His new duties were that of the supervising engineer responsible for the bids made to the federal government for aircraft contracts which included pricing of both raw materials and the labor costs for the new missile division.

Tolentino of Baltimore, MD; two sons , Alan James Martin and his wife Janice of Orlando, Fl, and Melvin Dennis Martin and his wife Corrine of Sunrise Florida; fourteen grandchildren; Dr. Stephen Tolentino and his wife Dr. Leda Tolentino of Bradenton Florida, Mrs. Melanie Lee and her husband Terrence Patrick Lee of Cape Saint Clair, Md., Atty.

A long time employee, Melvin James Martin, passed away at his home in Pine Hills, on December 10, 1991, after a prolonged battle with prostate cancer. He was a native of Fayette County, PA. Better known as "Jack" to his fellow employees, Mr. Martin joined the company when it was owned by Glenn L. Martin and located in Middle River, Maryland just outside Baltimore. He began his career as the instructor of naval pilots that were soon to fly the new Martin seaplane, the PBM cargo hauler. He also traveled as a trouble shooter for that aircraft in the South Pacific. An horary rank of Lt. Commander was bestowed by Admiral Pride for outstanding service. The rank guaranteed his post of professor so that it was not challenged by his naval officer students he taught. At the close of the war, during the retooling for the conversion from war planes and munitions to civilian manufacture, Jack left the company to serve as the manager of the Eastern Venetian Blind Company where he remained for two years. Greatly missing his first love of aircraft manufacturing Jack rejoined us in the personnel department working with the late Ray Swint. However an opening occurred in the engineering department and he took up his duties as the overseeing project engineer in the fledging missile division. Calling upon his engineering skills once more he was placed in charge of the budget for primary tooling and manufacture of the new government aircraft contracts.
In 1965 he and his family were called upon to transfer to our new plant here in Orlando, Florida to assist in the development of the new engineering department and to coordinate with the existing operation that remained behind in Baltimore. In February of 1966, Jack, along with Jack E. Edwards were honored by the company for their contributions in helping to save the company more than 17 million dollars during the physical year. Both men received an engraved trophy and an uncirculated $10 gold piece
Mr. Martin was cited for his revision of a work flow technique by eliminating steps by consolidating and combining various operations. In 1973, after 32 years of service, Jack decided to retire, but agreed to remain as a private contractor and consultant for an additional two years. He will be fondly remembered by his many colleagues.
He is survived by his wife, Ethel, and his three children, Mrs. Marilyn Tolentino of Baltimore, MD, Alan J. Martin of Orlando, Florida and Dennis Martin of Sunrise, Florida.

By Marilyn Martin Tolentino
Aunt Nell's real name was Nancy Ellen. She was named after her father's mother who died when he was only 3 years old. She was called "Nell" or "Nellie" by the family. Nell was a gifted pianist and gave private lessons to many of the children in the Dunbar area. She loved children and decided to become a school teacher. She accepted a position in a small rural school in Ohiopyle, a tiny one room school with out either indoor heat or water. The well was quite a distance from the school and two of the older boys filled the clay ola with fresh water ever morning. Heat was provided by a wood burning stove. There was some coal donated by the community for the school but not enough to keep the stove going. Chopping kindling for the fire fell to Nell. The children all carried their lunch and Nell often supplementing their sandwiches with a rich soup she cooked on the top of the wood burning stove. Hot water was also kept boiling and hot tea was made on bitter cold days. Often the school room was so chilly the children did their lessons with their gloves on. Nell became very ill and she went home to her brother, James Alexander's home in Dunbar to recover. There she was nursed by her sister-in-law, Ella. The diagnosis was viral pneumonia. She put up a brave battle of several weeks but finally passed away on December 29, 1919. The trunk that was her gift from her parents on her 18th birthday was inherited by her grand niece Marilyn Martin Tolentino the granddaughter of James and Ella.

FROM "MEMORIES " BY MELVIN J. MARTIN NEPHEW OF NELL
Aunt Nell was a maiden lady and she had accepted a teaching position in a one room school house up in Ohiopyle. It was there that she became very ill. She was diagnosed with pneumonia and she came down to Uniontown to stay with our family to be nursed back to health. Despite all of Mom's nursing efforts she was not to survive and she died right there in our house on the 29th day of December 1919 at the age of 37 years. Mom and Dad buried her in the Mt. Auburn Cemetery in Dunbar on Peachin Road beside her mother, father and brothers and little sister.
Before Grandmother Margaret Martin died she purchased a series of lots in the new cemetery since all of the space they owned was filled and she desired that the entire family to be buried all together. Grandpap was already in Franklin Cemetery along with Wills, Ellis Walker, baby Willie and Florence. She couldn't bare the thought of not being buried beside him so she had him and the children exhumed and moved over across the street to Mt. Auburn. She had so little money left she was unable to raise the five tombstones necessary to mark all of new graves. After her death her sons had a single monument raised over the family that simply said MARTIN.
Shortly after her untimely death her two brothers Clyde and George appeared at our house to see about their share of her estate. The only thing that she had was a Saratoga trunk that was a gift to her on her 18th birthday in 1900. Dad sent for the trunk and told his brothers it was to be delivered on Saturday and for them to return to the house on Sunday and they would open it together. The trunk arrived as promised on Saturday afternoon. The next morning as he sat at the breakfast table he looked at Mom and said " I had a terrible dream about Nell's trunk last night and I'm not too sure it's a good idea to open it" Mom said, "Jim, Just get it over with." The boys arrived and everyone gathered in the dinning room, the key was fitted into the lock and the lid raised. Dead silence! There was nothing in the trunk but a pile of ashes-STILL WARM. There was nothing to divide. While the ashes were to hot to touch the interior of the trunk was unharmed and until today the original paper lining remains, December 1983. Clyde and George decided somehow Nellie had managed to set the contents on fire from the other side in ghostly revenge and they wanted nothing to do with it. They were convinced that that trunk was cursed and would bring bad luck to who ever came into contact with it.
Mom put it in our attic and there it stayed until 1948. My daughter, Marilyn, was in the attic with Mom to bring down some Christmas ornaments and she spied the trunk and it was love at first sight. She begged Mom to let her take it home and Mom gave her that Mona Lisa smile and said the trunk is yours but you can't have it until you are older.
When Grandma Margaret became ill with cancer Nell was the one who stay at home and took care of her. Grandma was in terrific pain from the stomach cancer and they gave her large amounts of morphine, which caused her to become very disorientated. When Grandma died she willed the family home to Aunt Nell and Uncle Clyde in equal shares. One morning Nellie arrived at our house, on Coffee Street in Uniontown, in tears. It seems Uncle Clyde decided it was foolish for Aunt Nell to be living in that big house all by her self and he had ejected her with only the clothes on her back, so that he and his wife Dennis could live there. The next morning Aunt Nell and Mom along with Bets and I took the Streetcar to Dunbar. Upon our arrival they made a single stop, at the place of business, of the man we bought our coal from and engaged his wagon and up the hill we all went. Mom had a vicious temper and after knocking on the door she pushed her way past Aunt Dennis into the house and began to lay down the law along with some choice comments about Dennis's heritage. Although I don't really recall her saying it they tell me Mom threatened to burn the house to the ground after she wrecked havoc on the person of Uncle Clyde and Aunt Dennis and believe me when she had a full head of steam up she could be very convincing. Mom turned to Nellie and said "Pack.” Shortly thereafter the coal man was loading all of Aunt Nell's personal possessions and what furniture belonged to her into the wagon and we were off to Uniontown. In the meantime Dad had been to see his lawyer and was starting court proceedings on Aunt Nell's behalf. The upshot was that Uncle Clyde had to pay Aunt Nell for her half of the house.
After this experience with her younger brother Aunt Nell was a tad leery of him. Being a gifted pianist she decided to make enough money to buy a concert grand piano by teaching youngsters. She went to Mom and said that she was putting the new piano in Mom's name and she wanted to keep it there at their house. It turned out that was a very prudent move and both Clyde and George wanted that piano when she died but officially it belonged to Mom.

Miner Slays Woman, Kills Self
In Presence Of Her Daughters
Double Tragedy
Follows Party At
Amend Home
Widow’s Older Daughter
Fails To Ward Off
Killer
Infuriated when denied a signature on a card, the nature of which has not been definitely determined, drunk crazed Michael Chibileck, 52, a miner of Amend Works, shot Mrs. Rebecca Martin, 45, twice in the head, killing her instantly, then sent a .38 calibre revolver bullet crashing into his own brain, his lifeless body falling across that of his victim. The double tragedy occurred about 7:30 o’clock last evening in the home of Mrs. Martin while her two younger daughters, Virginia, 13, and Evelyn, 10, looked on. The older of the two girls grappled with the man when he drew his revolver but failed to prevent the shooting when he threw her frantically against the living room wall in the pretty little five-room cottage home.
Issued Threats
According to Mrs. Helen Early, 23, another daughter of Mrs. Martin, Chibileck had been staging a drinking party with her mother’s brother-in-law, Harry Dean. After returning from work at the Gargardi plant No. 10, at Gilmore, Chibileck, Mrs. Early said went to Dean’s home and gave him his mining tools saying: “I won’t need them any more.” That, she said was in the middle of the afternoon. Later, as he prepared to leave, Mrs. Martin quoted Dean as saying that Chibileck said he was “going down to kill Mrs. Martin.” Dean, however, is quoted as saying he “didn’t think much about it” and made no attempt to prevent his friend’s departure.
Virginia, the older of the two girls who were at home with their mother when Chibileck entered the house, said the man “seemed all right.” But after only a short time she heard him arguing with her mother about “signing a card of some kind. Mother told him she could read and refused to sign the card until she could talk with someone,” Virginia said. “I was just passing the living room door when I saw Chibileck draw a gun. I rushed in and grabbed his arm but he threw me against the wall. Just as I turned to get up I saw him point the gun at Mother and fire twice. Then he put it against his head and fired again. I screamed but couldn’t do anything.
Hear Two Shots
Evelyn, 10, the other sister, hearing the shots, rushed into the living room and upon seeing the two bodies on the floor, rushed from the house screaming for help. Mrs. Early, who was in her own home, some distance from that of her mother, at the time, said she heard Evelyn screaming almost immediately after what she believed to have been a muffled shot. Her husband, Eugene Early, and a friend, Levi Lindsey, were together some distance away and both said they heard two shots. It was the son-in-law who first entered the house to find the bodies lying in pools of blood at the foot of a davenport. Mrs. Martin and her daughter, Mrs. Early, had returned from Uniontown only a few hours prior to the tragedy. They had made the trip to send money to their son and brother, Pfc. James McDonald Martin, with the U. S. Marines in the South Pacific. Yesterday, August 3, was his 21st birthday anniversary. News of his mother’s death will be the second such tragedy the young Marine has suffered. He was working with his father, James C. Martin, when the latter was killed, July 9, 1942, by a fall of slate in the Phillips mine. The double tragedy was investigated by Coroner Herrington, Assistant County Detective Forrest Parke and State Troopers John Gettier and William Vilseek.
Leaves Four Children
Body of Mrs. Martin was removed to the Sharp Funeral Home, Fairchance. Chibileck’s body was removed to the Haky Funeral Home, Uniontown. Mrs. Martin is survived by four children: Virginia and Evelyn, at home; Mrs. Early, of Amend, and James.
Chibileck, whose wife preceded him in death five years ago, leaves five children: Rose, at home; Margaret and Katherine, of New York; Stephen, of Amend; Joseph, overseas with the armed forces.

The truck swerved off the right side of the road and the driver lost control in trying to get back onto the cartway. Morrison and the passenger escaped without a scratch. According to State Police, Morrison was driving without a license. Nor did the truck display an inspection sticker, they added. Morrison was released on his own recognizance pending arraignment.

TWO 12-YEAR OLD LADS DO THE WORK OF MERCY
Flint hearted Cemetery Authorities Arouse
The Indignation Of The People Who Know The Circumstances
Because the distraught mother had no money to pay for a tiny white casket and because cemetery authorities would not permit a grave to be dug in the family's lot until money had been paid to the graveyard attendants, the still, flowerlike form of Russell Martin who was born last Thanksgiving Day, has been lying in his mother's home in Cleveland Avenue awaiting burial since last Saturday. The young mother, heartbroken at the death of her child, was helpless. There was no money in her purse to buy a casket. There was a plot in Park Place Cemetery, but she had no one to dig the grave. However, two boys, just 12 year old lads, who had watched Russell crawling about the house and who had possibly, held with trembling arms, the soft warm little body and responded to the baby's smile, were practical despite their grief.
They knew the baby must be buried, instead of money they had an abiding faith in human charity, so they took courage and came to town to find the money necessary for a casket, but they soon learned that not even a tiny pine box could be secured without at least $8.00. At last, they raised that much money and the casket was secured. Then, one of the donors to the fund, called the County Home and ask the steward if two men could be sent out to dig the grave in the Martin plot. This was promised and the workers journeyed to the Park Place Cemetery only to find the directors of that graveyard had reserved the right to dig all graves in the lots sold, so that once again, the young friends of the dead infant had to make a second trip to town for an additional $3.00 to pay for the digging of a tiny space in which the little body might be laid under the sod.
The case aroused no little indignation and it is probable some of the "reservations" by which the owners of the various cemeteries near town have been mulcting families having plots and graves in their respective burial grounds will be given unwelcome publicity.
A well known resident of town sent his hired man to the cemetery to clean his family's plot but not long ago, only to have the workman at the graveyard refuse to allow the man to even weed the pathway traversing the plot. Later one of the stockholders of the company reproached this particular man because the graves were grown up with weeds!
Other abuses reported by men and women who have relatives buried in Uniontown cemeteries are numerous and there is growing up here, according to tales brought into the News Standard office, a decided sentiment against the management of the various graveyards.

WILLIAM MARTIN THOUGHT TO HAVE TAKEN HIS OWN LIFE.
Dunbar, Sept 20 - The funeral of the late Willie Martin, who shot himself, Wednesday morning, took place from the residence of his parents yesterday afternoon. The funeral was one of the largest that has been held in this part for some time. How the boy came to shoot himself still remains a mystery
Just before the shooting took place, the boy had been reproved by his mother. He at once went to the room wher the gun was and a few minutes later the shot was fired. His mother ran to the room and found her boy lying on the floor with a bullet hole through his heart. It is believed by some that the shot was intentional, while others cannot be reconciled to it. The revolver was behind a picture, which hung on the wall and not in a drawer as stated. it is reported that he became very angry when he received any parental reproof and that he had once previously threatened to take his life. The boys mother was almost frantic with grief, but will not lose her mind.
