It is now the site of the Pinola Hatchery. John and Fanny were members of the Rowe Mennonite Church, near Shippensburg, Pa. They are buried in the ole Rowe Cemetery, a short distance from Pinola.

4	Andreas Martin was a member of the persecuted religious sect sometimes referred to as Swiss Brethren, later known in America as Mennonites. Due to severe persecution in Switzerland, he moved with his family to the Palatinate, which is now a part of Germany. Here Andreas was imprisoned many years for his faith. He advised his wife and sons to go to America and settle in Pennsylvania, and told them he would join them there if he were ever released from prison. Andreas was finally released from prison and came to the American colonies October 7, 1749. He was cared for by his sons until his death in 1759. There is no further record of his wife.

29	Hans Henrich Martin immigrated to the American colonies at the age of thirty with his wife Anna Oberholtzer Martin and small family. He landed at Philadelphia, PA on September 21, 1731. His brother David had arrived earlier on September 30, 1727. He bought 153 acres of virgin land in Earl (now East Earl) Township, Lancaster Co., PA, from Thomas and Richard Penn, sons of William Penn. The original deed is dated January 10, 1733. The purchase price was 23 pounds, 14 shillings, and 3 pence. This land lies south of the Long Lane Road. The buildings are situated about a mile south of the intersection of Route 625 and the Long Lane Road near the bridge which now carries Route 625 across the Conestoga Creek. Hans Henrich, often called "Creek Henry Martin", erected buildings on the north bank of the creek. The old log house he built west of the spring was later replaced by a stone house. The site is about 200 yards to the west of Route 625, on a slight elevation overlooking the creek. It was known for many years as the "Creek Henry Martin Farm." Hans Henrich Martin and his wife were Mennonites. They settled in Pennsylvania so they could have liberty to worship according to their convictions. According to some old records, Hans and Anna are buried in the Lichty Cemetery which is located on a hillside near the intersection of the Union Grove Road and the Iron Bridge Road. Across the fields, it is about a mile east of the farm on which they lived. It is about a field's length from the Union Grove Road, but it can be reached by means of an unpaved right of way. Their graves are, no doubt, marked by one of the simple limestone or slate markers there, bearing no names or dates. ("The John Jacob Martin Family", Daniel R. Lehman, 1978)	Martin, Hans Henrich (I134)

31	Henry bought the "Creek Henry Martin Farm" from his father. He and his wife apparently spent most of their days at this place. They were Mennonites. They are buried in the Lichty Cemetery, where his father is buried. Thier graves are marked by simple stones that are carved in German. They can be easily located in the sixth row from the west fence in the old section of the yard. ("The John Jacob Martin Family", Daniel R. Lehman, 1978)	Martin, Heinrich (Henry) (I131)

43	John Jacob Martin was born in East Earl Twp., Lancaster Co., Pa. When he was twelve years old, his parents moved to Southampton Twp., Franklin Co., Pa. He grew up there on his father's 160-acre farm on the Rowe Creek at Pinola. On November 28, 1878, he was married to Sarah Rife in Franklin Co., Pa. by Preacher Franklin Dysin. As the custom was then, John and Sarah went to Lancaster County on their wedding trip, visiting all their relatives down to their parents' cousins. After their marriage, they lived in part of the house with John's parents and farmed with his father. Then they started farming for themselves on a slate land farm in Letterkenny Township. Some time after their oldest son, Henry, was born, they became members of the Mennonite Church. Later they moved to the Rife home farm in Letterkenny Twp and lived in half of the house. Sarah's parents and her two unmarried sisters, Elizabeth and Mary, lived in the other half. The family moved away from the Rife farm in 1897 and lived at Salem for several years. On January 24, 1900, John bought his father's 45-acre farm at Pinola for $1700. They moved there soon after his father's death. While living at Pinola, they attended the Rowe Mennonite Church. As each of the children reached maturity, five of the seven left home for jobs in other communities. Henry weat to Illinois in 1897 and got a job in a factory. He married and settled there. In the fall of 1902, Stephen went to Ohio and worked on a farm. Fannie also went to Ohio and worked in homes there. In 1909, Eber went to Ohio and worked for a farmer. Because of this dispersing of the family to distant communities, as well as the wide gap in age between the oldest and the youngest, the children were never all together at the same place at the same time. Ada did not even meet her oldest brother till she was eight; Henry was then thirty-two. In the winter of 1910, Clara, Henry's wife, died. Henry was left with his two children--five-year-old Royce and two-and-a-half-year-old Gladys. He brought them to his parents, who provided a home for them. That winter, John and Sarah decided to move to Ohio in order that they could be closer to their children and so that Henry would not have to travel as far to see Royce and Gladys. They sold their farm at Pinola to their son-in-law, Calvin Martin, and moved to Ohio in February 1911. They lived near their son Stephen. While living there, John did day work among the farmers. Their son, John, went to Ohio about a week before his parents and found work in Wayne County. In the fall of 1912, John and Sarah moved back to Pennsylvania and rented a house in Chambersburg for about a year. But John felt he should be on a farm for the sake of his young ones, so he bought a 52-acre farm near Shippensburg. He farmed with one horse; all his implements were one horse-size. After farming for about six years, he bought a house on Philadelphia Avenue extended, north of Chambersburg near the Chambersburg Mennonite Church, January 11, 1921. John and Sarah were praying parents, concerned for their children's welfare. Church attendance was a "must," and to be on time was a "must." John commanded his children to obedience. "Right forth immediately" was one of his expressions. They taught their children to be honest. If any of them told a lie, it was a serious offense. Sarah was diligent in teaching her giorls to sew and there was no getting it done quickly. If the stitches were not little and even, they had to be ripped out and redone until they passed her inspection. John did day work for different farmers up to the last year of his life. He died September 16, 1922, age 67 years, after an illness of several months. Sarah wrote in the back of her Bible, "How I miss John's kind and helpful hand." A neighbor commented, "John's dry humor complemented Sarah's more negative outlook on life." After John's death, Sarah continued living with her daughter Ada and her grandchildren, Royce and Gladys. She was free to spend time helping her children. She was glad to be able to go and spend a week or even a month at one of their homes, helping as needed. Sarah always enjoyed good health until the late spring of 1944. Her heart weakened and she died June 18, 1944, after being in bed several weeks. The sermon text at her funeral was Mark 14:8: "She hath done what she could." John and Sarah Martin are buried in the Chambersburg Mennonite Church Cemetery, Chambersburg, Pa. Their graves are located in the second row east from the cross drive, and the tenth marker to the right of the main drive. ("The John Jacob Martin Family", Daniel R. Lehman, 1978.) --------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------- HTML	Martin, John J. (I54)
