unknown source-likely an Evangelical church paper:
Frederick Carl Martin was born near Soldin Prussia, Germany, April 17, 1833, and died at his home in Cedar Falls, Iowa, November 27,1912.
In 1858, he came with his parents to this country settling near Lansing, Iowa. In 1861, the preachers of the Evangelical Association first came into that part of the country and the deceased was among the first to be converted and become a member of the church. He was a faithful member and served the church as an officer in various capacities for many years.
In 1862 he joined in marriage with Charlotte Goettel. This union was blessed with 9 children, 3 of whom preceded the father in death. His wife died in 1890. In 1893, he was married to Wilhelmina Puls. In the Fall of 1894, they moved to Cedar Falls that they might enjoy more fully the privileges of the church.
Besides his wife, he leaves 3 sons, 3 daughters, 3 brothers, a number of grandchildren and a host of other friends who mourn his departure, but at the same time enjoy the comforting hope of a reunion above.
At the funeral services the undersigned was assisted by the brethren A.L. Hauser and L. W. Bock.
