They are listed in the 20 February 1920 Census, Page 238 living in District 34, Frankfort, Franklin, IL. Otto 23yrs old. Ada 19yrs old. Herbert L. 7 months Next Door is: Monro Martin and His wife Stella. Monro 58yrs old Stella 34yrs old Ollie Smith 11yrs old (Daughter) Probably a step daughter in 1910 we find: Monroe M. Martin and his wife Florence living in Page 290, District 41, Frankfort, Franklin, IL Monroe 47yrs old Florence 43yrs old Otto 13yrs old (Son) Leslie 11yrs old (Son) The 1900 census shows Monroe and Minnie F. living in District 31 Frankfort, Franklin, IL This census shows 4 additional brothers and sisters to Otto. John Dorris his wife and 3 children live 5 house away. This John Dorris is the right age to be the father of Addie. There are also two other Martin families within 10 houses that are the correct ages to be brothers of Monroe. They would show up on the 1880 Census if this guess is correct. Hope this helps a little.

Fellow Listers, I apologize if this is a duplicate for you. But I thought this little story sums up why we do what we do. I received it some time back and have added it to my Family Heritage scrapbook that I am working on. The author is unknown but my hat is off to him/her for putting it appropriately in words. I share it with you in case you wish to use it, too. It is pinted below my signature line.

In each family there is one who seems called to find the ancestors. To put flesh on their bones and make them live again, to tell the family story and to feel that somehow they know and approve. Doing genealogy is not a cold gathering of facts but, instead, breathing life into all who have gone before. We are the storytellers of the tribe. All tribes have one. We have been called, as it were, by our genes. Those who have gone before cry out to us, "Tell our story!" So, we do. In finding them, we somehow find ourselves. How many graves have I stood before now and cried? I have lost count. How many times have I told the ancestors, "You have a wonderful family; you would be proud of us." How many times have I walked up to a grave and felt somehow there was love there for me? I cannot say. It goes beyond just documenting facts. It goes to who am I and why do I do the things I do. It goes to seeing a cemetery about to be lost forever to weeds and indifference and saying, "I can't let this happen." The bones here are bones of my bone and flesh of my flesh. It goes to doing something about it. It goes to pride in what our ancestors were able to accomplish, how they contributed to what we are today. It goes to respecting their hardships and losses, their never giving in or giving up, their resoluteness to go on and build a life for their family. It goes to deep pride that the fathers fought and some died to make and keep us a Nation. It goes to a deep and immense understanding that they were doing it for us. It is of equal pride and love that our mothers struggled to give us birth. Without them we could not exist, and so we love each one, as far back as we can reach. That we might be born who we are. That we might remember them. So.we do. With love and caring and scribing each fact of their existence, because we are they and they are the sum of who we are. So, as a scribe called, I tell the story of my family. It is up to that one called in the next generation to answer the call and take my place in the long line of family storytellers. That is why I do my family genealogy, and that is what calls those young and old to step up and restore the memory or greet those whom we had never known before. -Author Unknown

I have found many wrong things posted up that people put on my family names and even wrong births of the children and they are to old for the parents. I have gone and done research my self and found in books more. And I payed when I could not find enough imformation in my counties where my ancestors were and it payed off. I found more this way then what was in Liburaies and on the internet. Donna Osborn

For those persons researching MARTIN families in l700-l800 period in Virginia, Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama and Tenn, I would recommend you take a look at the indexes for the MARTIN FAMILY QUARTERLIES, Published l975-l987. These books contain an enormous amount of information on these early families. If anyone has information on these books housed anywhere on the west coast, please let me know.
