  • Notes 
    • In the marriage license Isaac is listed as Isaac Marts. With the research I have done the last name goes from Marts to Martz. It is unclear weather it is a mistake on the person writing it or if it was that before documentation was possible.
      In the 1850, 1860 Census Isaac is listed as being born in 1813

      Obituary
      Passing of Isaac Martz
      His Death the Result of Accident
      Peaceful of a Long and Useful Life.
      A long honorable useful life is ended. An old man, broken with the storms of life, has laid his weary bones at rest. With he going down of the sun on Friday evening his immortal spirit wringed its flight to the Great Beyond, and only the senseless tenement of clay remained. a picturesque, almost historic figure dropped from the ranks of the marching company was enrolled under the motionless folds of the black banner of death.
      A career of eighty six years was brought to a sudden close, nearly eighty y ears of toil and accomplishments of early work and later repose. It was a career begun amid the hardships and privations incidental to the founding of a new State, surrounded by all the terrors of savage and still more stage men. It reached its culmination in the midst of smiling peace and plenty, crowned with the uncountable blessing of civilization, Christianity and modern progressive life, it is a good to have lived such a life and it is good that the end therefore is peace..
      As recorded in this year, last week, the venerable Issac Martz on Wed morning fell from a platform at the new factory. The height was only three foot, but he slighted upon his head and shoulders, and it was felt from his injuries must increasing prove to be fatal. Examination developed that fact fifth vertebrae was fractured, particle paralyze immediately followed, he lingers in a comma tone condition until six thirty Friday evening when death came to his relief
      The following sketch was presented by Rev. Charles W Martz a son of the deceased.
      Issac Martz one member of a large family of 14 children, 7 sons and 7 daughters, was a son of Peter and Christina Martz who being noted for their longevity, have been long since passed into the silent unseen. the father at near the same age of the recently deceased son, Issac above 83 years and the mother at the ripe old age of 91 and more, Peter Marz, father of the deceased and his twin and only surviving brother, Moses Martz. Moses being the only surviving male proctor and two sisters, Sella Doyle and Christina Shinn, being the three only living members since their brother's death of this remarkable family of a seven male and seven female members.
      The parental ancestor of this large family, Peter Martz and grandfather to the large number of relatives gathered here, largely children and grandchildren of Issac and Moses Martz, was a descendant on the father's side of hardy and robust German stock whose father, Nicbolas Martz coming direct from Germany settled in eastern Penn, where on the banks of the famous Suspqebanua river, and in close proximity to the city of Lancaster. Peter Martz first looked upon the light of this world. His father, Nicholas Martz, the above mentioned patrol successor of peter Martz and grandfather of Issac and Moses the deceased and the other survivor of the twin brother was a man possessed of some remarkable characteristics and eccentrics to one or two particulars. It can be stated that, with a desire to have preparations suitable to his own ideas of perfection, he constructed the coffin as part of his own handiwork a year or more in advance of his death. He was a man of such ponderous weight and size that it has often been related as a truth the casket contained his lifeless body could only with difficulty pass the portable of a door three feet in width.
      While Issac and Moses Martz were yet quite young as the older members of their family born in Pickway county, Ohio, whether their father had removed from Penn from whence quite young they were soon taken into this more primitive wilderness of eastern Indiana, where their parents settled on Simons' Creek, near the present site of Milton, Indiana. Here Issac and Moses, twin brothers grew to manhood, and after reaching their majority were on the same day and hour married to twin sisters, Lavina and Tabitaha McCormack of Connerville Indiana. This union by marriage occurred on Nov 27, 1884 a possible favorite date of (blurry part)
      In 1838, four years after this union by marriage, Issac Martz and Moses Marz removed with their young wives and children to then wilderness and what is now known as Hamilton county, Indiana. This landing for the purpose to make a home in this densely timberland wilderness was on Sept 8, 1838. had the deceased lived a few days longer exactly sixty years would be covered, during which they had all lived to see a wilderness converted of transformed into a place of beauty of happy home. In 1845, while that venerable gospel preacher known as "Uncle Tommy" Lockhart was , as a faithful herald of the cross, setting forth the claims of the gospel of Christ, those brothers confessed their faith in their divine Lord and were baptized at hands of father Lockhart. To this faith, Isaac and his brother had adhered until the cell came to one , and Issac on Sept 2, 1898 passed into silent , having reached the good old age of 86 years, 3 months, and 5 days. He leaves 9 children, six sons and three daughters.
      the funeral was held Sunday at 10"30 at the resident of A.P. Orr, a son of law of Mr. Martz and whom he had made his home with after the death of his wife. The impressive services were conducted by Re. T.A. Cooper and special music was feeling sung by the choir of the Christian Church Then a last view of the well known features were taken, the long procession wound its way to the Arcadia Cemetery, and the last rites were performed over the intimate clay of a good man and a good citizen.
      In addition to the large number of relatives and friends in attendance, the following from other places were present:
      L.W. Martz and family, I.M. Martz and family, W.H. Fry and family of Kokomo (Indiana) H.C. Martz and family from Michigan City, C.w. Martz of Minnepaolis Minn, Mrs. C.W. Lee of Chicago, N.S. Martz and wife, Charles Martz and wife of Tipton (Indiana) P.R. Morris and family S.C. Montgomery and family of Noblesville (Indiana)
