    Buried: 1 Feb 1990 - Newell, Buena Vista Co., Iowa
    m. 1 Sep 1933 - Fayette, Fayette Co., Iowa

    I have not done well with researching the MARTIN family. They were not a close family and even when Beryl was living we tried to get information, but were very unsuccesful. Beryl had very little knowledge of his family.
