JIWelsch — 2009-09-10 11:30:47Z

TIPTON, Iowa -- Norwin Vero Martens, 96, Tipton, died Sunday, May 15, 2005, in Tipton.

A memorial fund has been established for Cedar Manor Nursing Home and the Tipton Senior Dining Center. Fry Funeral Home, Tipton, is in charge of the arrangements.

Mr. Martens was born July 27, 1908, on a farm southwest of Tipton, the son of Henry and Anna Edomm Martens. He married Arleene Lamp Jan. 25, 1933. He later married Carolyn Burnworth in 1980. She preceded him in death in 2001.

He graduated from Tipton High School in 1926, having attended a country school through the lower grades.

He and Arleene farmed throughout their married life, living for 38 years on Bluebell Farm, southwest of Tipton, in the Mount Zion Community. Along with their two children, Larry and Ann, they raised registered Angus cattle, and Tamworth and Poland China hogs, competing at many shows. He was chairman of the Cedar County Co-op for 15 years; served as trustee for Center Township; served on the Director Committee of Mount Zion Church; was a member of the Cedar County Hawkeye and Beefland Angus associations; spent 10 years as a 4-H leader for the Center Ring Leaders; and was an avid bowler.

He moved to Colorado in 1979 and married his second wife. He and Carolyn made their home in Littleton, Colo., for 21 years until her death. He continued his favorite past time of bowling, as well as gardening, horseshoeing and card playing. He served as emcee for the South Glenn Commons Christmas parties for seven years and was a founder of the Jolly Senior Club.

In December 2003, he moved back to Tipton to reside in a condominium at El-Mar Estates with his former wife, Arleene, until November 2004, when he became a resident of Cedar Manor.

He enjoyed going to the Tipton Senior Dining Center.

Survivors include a son, Larry of Tipton; a daughter, Ann Baago and husband, Harry, of Clear Lake; three grandchildren, Tobiason Dauber of Littleton, Lorna Morgan and husband, Randy, of Tiffin and Tami Nomack and husband, Michael, of Prospect, Conn.; and two great-grandsons, David and Daniel Nomack of Prospect.

Re: Gerd Martens

Michele,
I just read your post 8 years later and have much information on Gerd Martens- my great great grandfather. Born on 1/5/1822 in Rhade, Germany, emigrated to the US in 1842 and became very prosperous in the sugar refining business in NYC (partner in the North River Sugar Refinery). There is much information on this corportation in the New York Times archive. Gerd owned a large estate in Mt. Vernon, NY where he formed the Chester Hill Land Company which developed the south end of Mt. Vernon. Gerd died on 5/3/1893 and he is in Woodlawn Cemetary with his wife (Clara Mary Lohman- died at 61 yo), and children (several of whom died before 1 years of age). Those who lived into adulthood were Charles Clarence 26 yo, Edward 50 yo, William 62, and Margret 82.

Let me know if this informtation has been of help.

August H. Martens

bucytalent — 2008-02-18 16:25:44Z

Looking for any information about August H. Martens who died in 1865 according to the inscription in a Bible given to him in 1848 by my Great Grandfather, Johann Georg Kurz (John George Kurtz). After Mr. Martens death the Bible was given back to my Great Grandfather and then in 1902 passed on to my Grandfather, John J. Kurtz. My Great grandfather was living in Whetstone Township, Crawford County, near Bucyrus and Galion, Ohio in the mid 1800's but so far I've been unable to find out who August H. Martens was or why this rather large Bible would have been given to him by my Great Grandfather. Any input will be appreciated.
