Comfort, George. Northern Christian Advocate [Syracuse] 19 Nov. 1902. Web.
Richard Martin died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Frances Comfort, in Harmony, July 30, 1902. He was born on November 13, 1818, and was nearly eighty-four years of age. He was married on June 2, 1838, to Mrs. Susan Ann Seward, of Easton, Pa., who died February 26, 1895. Since that time he has made his home at his daughter's. There were eight children born to them, Ezra, Frances, Maryetta, Margaret, Esther, Phebe, Emmazilla and Florence, only two of whom survive him.
For over fifty years the writer knew him as a unassuming and candid character, whose whole life was marked with a sincerity and honesty of purpose that to know him was to respect and love him.
He was converted to God in 1858, since which time he trusted his Savior with a child-like simplicity, and sustained a membership in the Methodist Episcopal church, till transferred to the church above. He unfalteringly loved his Bible, reading it much during his last years of loneliness, also his Hymn Book, making frequent reference to some favorite sentiments, of some familiar hymns, and the promises of God's own word. He delighted to have his pastor and others assemble in his room during his last sickness, to read, sing and pray with and for him. His long life—the last of his father's family—ended, his sun has set amid the brightest hopes. We shall meet him again over on "the Evergreen Shore" of everlasting life.
