Mr. Martin was buried yesterday with Masonic honors. There was a very large attendance at the funeral. The Gould and Tillotson families, Col. Colt's and others from Owosso were present.
Prom a sketch furnished us we learn that Mr. Martin was born in the State of New York, October 18, 1806; spent his boyhood days in Avon, N. Y., and was a successful merchant in New York. In 1835 he came to Michigan and Illinois as agent of a wealthy land corporation, and settled in Antrim in 1836,
