  Notes	Alexander Arthur Martin's family moved from Providence, Rhode Island, to Cleveland, Ohio, while he was still young. The family lived at 122 Whitney Avenue. He was the first person to enlist at the new Cleveland recruiting station at 64 Public Square, enlisting in the Navy on December 28, 1899. He underwent introductory training at Coaster's Harbor Island, Rhode Island, where he was stationed on the U.S.S. Constellation. He also served on the U.S.S. Essex, an old ship used for training, then on the U.S.S. Wabash, a stationary receiving ship at Chelsea, Massachusetts. Next, he went to the receiving yard at Brooklyn, and then to San Francisco, where he was assigned to the U.S.S. Wisconsin. While in San Francisco, he met President McKinley at a ball. He visited many foreign ports during his time in the Navy, and took part in naval exercises during the Boxer Rebellion in China and the Philippine Insurrection. He was discharged from the Navy on his birthday in 1904. After his marriage to Jessie Duff, the family lived for some time in Cleveland, and later moved to Erie, Pennsylvania, and Fostoria, Ohio. They were living in Cleveland, Ohio, at the time of the 1910 census. William Duff, cousin of Jessie Duff Martin, was living with them. In 1920, they were living at 9001 Macomb Avenue, Cleveland. The family finally settled in Dayton, Ohio, where Alexander was employed by the National Cash Register Company. He built numerous ship models as a hobby, and won several prizes for his models. He was a member of Linden Avenue Baptist Church and the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of the Masonic Lodge, becoming a Prince of the Royal Secret, thirty-second degree, on November 11, 1944. Alexander died at Good Samaritan Hospital in Dayton, Ohio. At the time of his death, he was living at 210 Cambridge Avenue in Dayton. Alex and Jessie are buried at Memorial Park Cemetery, Dayton, Ohio, in Section 12, Lot 3, Block 12.
