ASA MARTIN was born in Clinton county, Ohio, January 15th, 1822. In 1838 he settled in Clay township three and a half miles south of St. Johns with his father in what was then a swamp. February 22nd, 1844, he was married to Hannah Coleman, who bore him fifteen children, eleven of whom are still living. After his father died in 1851 he bought out the other heirs' interests in his father's farm, cleared it up and improved the land until it was one of the most productive farms in the county.
Throughout his life he was an upright, straightforward and conscientious Christian man and for many years was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church. He was the oldest and last survivor of a family of six children. He was a highly respected and often honored citizen in his community, and no man in the county stood higher in the estimation of his fellow men. He filled various offices of trust in his township and at the time of his death was serving his second term as county infirmary director, the duties of which position he faithfully and conscientiously performed.
He died December 27th, 1891.
