Research notes for Clarence K Martz
J L Floyd writes this: "Clarence K. Martz was born April 9, 1873, received his education in the schools of the home locality and was reared upon the farm until he reached the age of nineteen. At that time he went to Elysburg to learn the trade of blacksmith with Joseph Lynn, remaining there for a period of five years, after which he went to Shamokin for a year. After that he carried on a farm in connection with his trade for some time, and in 1902 began business at his present stand, in Paxinos, where he has been doing business continuously since. It is a fine location, and he has built up a profitable custom, doing a general blacksmith and wheel-wright business.
Mr. Martz married Julia A. Epler, daughter of Amos Epler, of Shamokin Twp, and to this union have been born two children, namely: Clara and Fred.”
