• Notes

  Levi was ordained as a Deacon on Oct. 29, 1869. Obituary: Levi was the first of eleven children born to Peter G. Martin and Maria Bauman. Following traditional naming conventions, the children would have used "B" (for Bauman) as their middle initial. But with many other Martins having the initial "B," Peter decided to use "P" (for "Peter") as his children's middle initial.. Levi married Elizabeth Schaefer on January 7, 1869, in Woolwich Township. She died the following Christmas Day, three days after giving birth to a daughter, Elizabeth. On May 7, 1891, Levi married his second wife, Barbara Gingrich. The couple had six children: - Nancy (1872-1949) - Henry (1873-?) - Mary (1875-1934) - Leah (1878-1931) - Isaac (1882-1964) - Lydia (1885- 1942) Following Barbara's death, Levi married Lydia Bauman on June 2, 1908, in Waterloo Township. Levi died at the age of 75 years, 8 months, and 29 days. The death record noted that he died of "old age infirmities." Inscription Hier ruhet/ Levi P. Martin/ geb. 22, Feb. 1844/ gest. 20, Nov. 1919/ im Alter von/ 75 Jahren 8 Mon./ und 29 Tagen. Gravesite Details Levi and his three wives are buried side by side.
