Biography:
WILLIAM MARTIN. The biographer often finds, in writing of the lives of the representative men of any community, that those who have become successful in their chosen line and prominent in their section are men who started out in life with little or no advantages, and that the prominence and success which they have attained has been won only through perseverance and energy and the exercise of an inherent ability. Outagamie county has many examples of the self-made man, and among them may be mentioned William Martin, who owns and operates an excellent property in section 12, Cicero township. Born in Mecklenburg, Germany, January 3, 1849, Mr. Martin is a son of Christian and Sophia (Schroeder) Martin, and a brother of Christian, Fred, Minnie and August Martin, of whom August is the only survivor. The family came to the United States in 1865, on a sailing vessel which required nine weeks to make the journey across the ocean, the trip being a rough one and especially hard upon the emigrants, who were having their first experience on the water. Eventually making their way to Milwaukee, the family lived in that city for twelve years, during the greater part of which time the support of his parents fell upon the youngest, William, his father being practically an invalid for a long period. William Martin secured work as a teamster, and after three years spent in Fond du Lac, came to Outagamie county and settled on a farm in Osborn township, where he cleared eighty acres from the wilderness and built a log cabin, 16x24 feet, and a log stable, 24x44 feet. Later he built a new frame barn, 40x70, and a new house, 16x24 feet, and with these improvements sold the farm for $5,000, and came to his present property in Cicero township, an eighty-acre tract on which is located a handsome modern house, as well as a basement barn, 40x70. He has been successful in general farming, and his operations in stock raising have also been gratifying in their returns, and the competency thus gained brings all the more pleasure for the fact that it was honestly earned and is highly deserved. Mr. Martin was married (first) to Minnie Dittman, who died five years later, leaving one child, Gusta, who married August Kollat. His second marriage was to Paulina Schultz, who bore him one child. Mrs. Martin died three years later. Subsequently Mr. Martin married (third) Mary Gonzell, and they have had five children: William, who died at the age of seven years; and August, Martha, Albert and Adolph, all living at home.
