Birth, Parent-Proof, Designation notes for Reuben F Martz (P2d1b)
J L Floyd says this about Reuben: "Reuben F. Martz received his early education in the public schools of the home locality, later attending Elysburg Academy. After working some time for his father he entered the timber business, furnishing props for the mines. This he has continued to carry on in connection with farming, owning a tract of 120 acres, part of the old homestead, his property adjoining the lands of his brothers Jesse R and John H. He has erected fine buildings on the place since it came into his possession, putting up his residence in 1903, and the property is not only valuable for its natural advantages but also for the judicious improvements which have been made on it. He has devoted all his time to his private affairs, taking no part in public life, though he has the public spirited interest in such matters which every good citizen feels. He is a Republican in politics.
Mr. Martz married Emma M. Muench, who was born in 1860, daughter of Jacob F. Muench, and died Jan. 7, 1902; she is buried at Reeds Church. Eight children were born to this union, two of whom died in infancy, the others being: William, a graduate of Pennsylvania State College, now located in Chicago, IL; Hattie, wife of Edw. Michael, living in Sunbury; Solomon, a graduate of Bucknell College, now living at home; Frederick, who died when seven years old; Emma; and Ada. The family are Lutherans in religion.”
