Martin From page 2: career of a music teacher and veteran
Dale Pitts and George Gilkey are named among the deceased. The veteran, Martin, served in World War I, earned a mixed music degree, and taught across Shenango and Bessemer school systems starting 1919. He boosted pay through moves, rode a horse to schools, married Elizabeth in 1925, and will celebrate 65 years of marriage in August. They have three children and many grandchildren. He taught until 1948 and resisted idle time, wagering a dollar with a principal over study hall duties.
