He died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Edson E. Holbrook, in Bethel, Vermont. He enlisted in Co. E, 2nd U.S. Sharpshooter at West Randolph, October 1, 1861. He was mustered on Novebmer 9, 1861, and was discharged for disability May 22, 1862. The conditions for enlistment required that each recruit should, in a public trial, firing from the shoulder and without telescopic sights, in ten shots palce ten bullets within a ten inch ring, at a distance of 200 yards, and this tese was rigidly exacted. Most of the men carried their own rifles when first mustered. Before takng the field they were exchanged for Colt repeating rifles which were also later replaced by Sharpe's. They were all expert marksmen and on one occasion they dispalyed their skill before President Lincoln (President Lincoln himself took a rifle and had some target practice) and General McClellan. At the time sone surprising shots were made, Col. Berdan hitting at 600 years the right eye of teh painted figure a man used as a targe, having announced he would do so; he was evidently using a rifle with a telescopic sight. Company E was in training at West Randolph for about thrity days before leaving for Washington. They camped on the Fairgrounds on what is now known as the highlands area. They were marched from there at each mess call to the Mansion House where their meals were served. a few years ago the old Mansion House was torn down and a the Mini-Market store and gas station built on the site. None of the Burnap Martin family had markers at the Hollow Cemetery, but before Memorial Day, 1793, Burton Flint, a nephew, had a gravestone placed on his uncle's grave with his Civil War record inscribed on the stone. A flag holder ws placed nearby. Probably there originally was one placed there by the G.A.R. Post but it had long ago disappeaed. Thus, on Memorial Day, 75 years later, a flag waves in the old cemetery over the grave of Burnap Martin. East Hollow Cemetery - Head Stone: Burnap Martin 2nd U.S. Sharp Shooters Co.
