Martinot, Joseph
DEATH OF JOSEPH MARTINOT
The death of Joseph Martinot, early settler of Chase and Marlon counties, has brought deep sorrow to his many friends and acquaintances. Because of his long residence in the two counties, Mr. Martinot was widely known. At the time of his death he was the oldest settler in Marlon county and with but two exceptions was the oldest resident for Chase county.
Seventy-four years ago as a small lad, Joseph Martinot immigrated to America with his mother and his step father. They came from Paris. The family first located on a homestead south of Cedar Point which now is known as the lower farm of Feed Dwelle. Later, when Martinot had grown to manhood he purchased land nearer Cedar Point which is known as the John Dwelle place. From this farm Mr. Martinot moved eastern Marion county where he had moved until his death.
During his active years of life he was an industrious farmer and an untirng worker for good roads. He probably has done more than any other man in his township to forward the good road movement.
Following is the obituary read at his funeral in Cedar Point last Saturday afternoon:
"Nearly four score years ago, Joseph Martinot was born across the water in France. .He came to Am-erica with his mother when he was five years old. They lived for a time in Chase county, south of Cedar Point. The present Cedar Point cemetery is located on a part of this farm, They later moved to Marion county where Mr. Martinot lived until his death. For the past several years Mr. Martinot had been the oldest of the pioneer settlers of Marion county.
"On August 31, 1887, he was married to Josephine Renson, who with their three children, Tilly Martinot of the home; Arthur Martinot of Mar-ion county; and Mrs. Louise Craw-ford of Clements; and on grandson, Arthur Crawford, survive to mourn his loss. One son, Ernest ,preceded his father in death, February 1, 1906.
"Mr. Martinot died at his home at six o'clock in the evening of October 13, 1932, at the age of 79 years. For the past eight months he had .been confined to his room. Three days before his death, he entered into state of coma, in which he passed quietly away.
"Funeral services were conducted Saturday afternoon in the Cedar Point M. E. church in charge of the minister of the Cedar point Federated church. Interment was in Cedar Point cemetery.
