Hello,
I am looking for anyone researching Martin in Wayne County. My husband's
grandfather was Lacey Martin. According to the old papers and a telegram we
have found informing his wife's family of his death, he died in Wayne County
in about 1934. He was a lineman for one of the utility companies. One of the
letters suggests he was killed in a car accident.
He was married to Nora Elizabeth (Layne) Martin and they had a young son,
Lacey Martin Jr. (my husband's father) at the time of his death. Nora was
staying with her family in Pike Co. KY while he worked to make enough money to
move the family to Indiana. Of course that never happened.
We believe Lacey was the son of Carl Martin. Carl owned a large farm and was
a blacksmith by trade. Some letters have mentioned Abington and Centerville.
We have a picture if Carl Martin's gravestone. It is a double stone but we
cannot make out the dates or his wifes name on the stone.
Any help with finding Lacey Martin or Carl Martin's gravesites, birth and
death dates, marriage info, Carl's other children's names, any descendants,
anything at all... would be appreciated.
