General Notes:
Family Contribution:  Fred Martin (husband of Emilie, space 3) was born 21 Feb., 1888 in Grossliebenthal, Odessa district, Ukraine.  His parents were Wilhelm Martin and Friederike Horch.  He emigrated at the age of 11, along with his parents and siblings, to a homestead in McHenry County, North Dakota.  He was married and widowed as a young man, then married Emilie.  In 1914 or 1915 they returned to take over his family’s farm in North Dakota, where they lived until 1925, when they sold the farm and moved to Sherwood.  They purchased land at the crest of Willamette Street in that city, later purchasing the Campbell home and more land in 1935. They owned a dance hall, skating rink, and grocery and feed stores in Sherwood and were chicken and black raspberry farmers. Fred served as a Sherwood City Councilman during the 1940’s. Giving home-building lots to their children who remained in Sherwood, they lived in their large home, surrounded by homes of their children and grandchildren, until their deaths in 1982 and 1983.
