Event Note

On the 1900 Census it states that Martin came to the US in 1868. However, he was married to Catherine in Oct of 1868.
On the 1870 Census it states that Martin is a Naturalized citizen of the US. In 1870 immigration laws stated that an adult male can apply for citizenship 5 years after arriving and setting up a residence.
This would place his time of immigration prior to 1863.
I am unable to find any records of him in the 1860 Census

While in Elyria, Martin worked in the Clauss Shear Factory in Elyria until August of 1887 when the owner, John Clauss, moved the plant to Fremont, Ohio to be near an accessible, abundant supply of natural gas which had recently been discovered. The gas was ideally suited to fuel the furnaces for the company’s forges and foundry.

Event Note

Rev. John Kalenberg Minister of the Gospel:

The first record of the pastor, Rev. John Kalenberg, is found in the Baptismal Record, under
the date of November, 1864. His congregation gathered from Pomeroy, Middleport, a village two miles down the Ohio river from Pomeroy, from Syracuse, a village about six miles up the river, and also from Mason City, W. Virginia, just across the Ohio.

The original church on Mulberry Street, situated upon the hillside that flanks the natural water drain
called Sugar Run, was enlarged in 1865 with the addition to the front. The school accommodations were now too small. A new building was decided upon and built of brick just across Mulberry Street from the church during the spring and summer of 1866. It opened in September of that year with about two hundred children in care of four Sisters of Charity from the Cincinnati province. Sister Qara the superior is still held in veneration by her old pupils.
