I was telling my Fatehr-in-law about you today, Grandpa Luther. He is a fellow officer, a Sheriff's Deputy in Texas. Being Memorial Day (err, the day after), it's a very special thing to be able to tell others about you. Thank you, Grandpa Luther.
Deputy Martin your work on this Earth as we know it is done. You are in God's Hands now brother. May you rest in peace SGT. Daryl Brewer Sir: Maj M. B. Parlor My husband, Edwin Dewitt Martin, was eight years old when his father was killed. His mother, Lizzie Pepper Martin, was left with the responsibility of raising seven children, the oldest being 19, and the youngest,4. The 5 sons all served in World War II, but all returned home safely. My husband, 85, and his sister Ruth, 87, are the only ones of the children still living. Jean C. Martin I received an e-mail from my niece, Denise Flory, about this. Wow! I've never seen anything written about my grandfather's death, just heard stories. It was my understanding that he had been shot off the running board of a police vehicle in pursuit of some bad guys. Glad to have the misunderstand cleared up. Jeanette Martin Thompson I am glad to see this page. I visited the memorial in Anderson many years ago with my mom and grandfather, Luther's son and granddaughter. It was very special and I'll always remember it. It's wonderful to know I can pass his story on to my child. Denise Flory 09-18-03, MY BROTHER, YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN. REST IN PEACE. MAY GOD BLESS YOU. CHIEF RONNIE WATFORD-RETIRED
