Joseph Hyrum Martin and Edward Jenkins Martin

Joseph Hyrum Martin and Edward Jenkins Martin

 

These two young men are the two youngest sons of John and Anna Martin (previous post) and are siblings to my great-grandmother Catherine Anna Hoskins. John and Anna Martin had 11 children in total, Ed was number 9 in the birth order and Joe was number 10 - with their birth years 1881 and 1883 respectively.  Oftentimes these boys lived with other family members when they could to avoid their strict father.
