About Bernard Joseph Martin
Following is the record of the first Bernard Martin in the second-generation line of Martins in America. Four of hte Martin brothers who came to America named a son Bernard, which bespeaks the affection they held for their own father, Bernhard Martin, who lived and died in Bavaria.

Bernard Joseph Martin was born in Unterhaching, Bavaria Jan. 29, 1853 and died in Pilot Grove, Mo. Feb. 11, 1943.
